Hey guys, I'm going to be moving out at the end of January and will be leaving my cheap/slow laptop behind for my family to use. So I am starting to look around for a good computer and wanted to get some opinions from those of you who know computers better than me (probably everyone on this site lol).
I am setting a spending limit of 2k and want something that is a really good all round machine, fast and reliable.
I like the new iMAC that now comes with os x leopard, probably going to look at the 2.4ghz with 24" display model
http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html
I know a lot of people don't like mac's and some do, but those people with strong opinoins either way tend to use a computer to its fullest. I just want something that is going to have no problem serving someone who listens to music, surfs websites, runs a website/online business, keeps track of info/expenses/etc on my rental properties and busineses, and watches tv shows and videos every once in a while. would the iMac with 2.4ghz and 1gb memory be sufficient or should I upgrade anything?
any other suggestions on desktops to look at? I like the mac due to the lack of virus threats. I don't even use my computer for iffy things, like porn and dl'ing stuff and I always have problems with my pc running slow and when I run my antivirus software and have to clear out lots of viruses.
any thoughts would be appreciated.
