Topic help needed for equipment
Hi,

I work on a pc ( windows 7) with several audio software. This computer used to be a graphic design computer and thus a beast of a machine.
Graphic means calculating which basically eats up power. 3 graphic cards are linked together. This beast works fine but is getting older and all the fans (12 of them) are starting to make noise. A lot of noise.

I was searching through the net for an apple machine because i want to get rid of windows ( serveral reasons but the main thing is win 8. I hate it ).

But checking out several machines i got lost.
I have no apple experience ( no phone, no computer and even no mediaplayer)
So i got lost i therms and technical information. I know you can't compare pc and apple but the apple specs seams so low.
Low amount of internal memory, lower processor speeds.

I have no idea what to look for.
What is good and what is bad. What am i looking for and what do i have to avoid so that i can work with it for a few years.

My wish goes out to a laptop model
But not necessarily.

Who of all you readers can help me out by guiding me through the wonder world of apple.

Thank you

-Angelie

Hey Mike,

I noticed that drive after my post.
But some people said it doesn't work on a imac others said it does so we are back where we started.

This afternoon i got a call that i can use an imac. It had an i7 onboard, 4 usb3 and 2 Thunderbolts. It costs 1800 euros and if i like it after 2 weeks of testing i may buy it.
If this machine is not what i'm looking for i may return it whitout any questions.

So i'm a little girl with a giant smile on myface right now

This machine specs are:

type ME088N/A
EAN 0885909791958

With a 27 inch screen which is something different than 2 19" wide screens

Cool. Those 27" screens are really nice. Good luck with your migration to the Mac world. Once you get used to the differences in how the operating systems work, I think you'll be very happy on the Mac platform.
