    Help Headspace pick a computer cuz he's too dumb to do it himself

    I'm looking for a new computer, and I'm thinking of biting on an iMac (I'm doing it for photo editing, so I need/want bridge and CameraRAW so the Mac is needed). So I'll be doing photos, a little video, and some light gaming I suppose (I'm not sure what is mac capabale, but shit like Starcraft 2 would probably be the most graphics heavy, but I don't need to run on max)

    I don't really need the 27in monitor, and I'm not sure paying an extra 300$ for upgraded graphics card and and extra 500GB in harddrive space is really worth it.

    Advice!

    If you're doing video editing, I have to recommend you get as much space as possible on the harddrive, and with the addition of a better graphics card that's only going to help, I'd say the $300 is worth it.


    Then just partition Windows. Or do it the cheaper way and buy a PC and install Mac OSX. I personally have an iMac because I went to school for video production and needed FCP, but I spend a lot more time on Windows than Mac OSX anymore just for gaming, and I've chosen not to pursue anything with my degree so really, I have an overpriced Windows machine at this point.

    Im confused, why are you looking to buy a mac, when everything youve described you can do on a pc and do it better.

    You also have access to adobe cs5 master suite on PC.
    Any torrent site will have it.

    Just trying to save you money, time, and hassle, brah.

    University will ban my access if they catch me using any of that kind of shit.

    They've already done it to me once for an SC2 updater because that runs off torrents

    Last time I talked to Adobe, a month or two ago, they can switch your license from Mac to PC. Just call them, it's free.
