The "Lets talk each other into buying top spec iMac's" thread.

ok, here take on it. want maxed out imac*. not need one, want 1 anyway, trying convince myself buy one. need in pressing 'confirm order' button juicy extras loaded up. , suspect others need nudge too.

justification press button this: new (late 2015) 27" retina 4.0ghz, 512gb flash storage, m395x , 3 year apple care on uk store comes £2548

latest imac has lasted me 8 years. paid £2000 in 2007. 8 years 2920 days , £2000 divided number works out @ 68.5p day wonderful machine ( upgraded storage ssd few years ago ) has served me well.

so, if apply same 8 year time frame new (late 2015 imac), i'll paying 87p day if last me 8 years. although, don't want hang on long. if half 4 years, average daily expense £1.74.

£1.74 day isn't much, choice between cup of bad coffee day or shiny new imac, and
when consider resale value after 4 year period. around £700-1000.

please tell me not delusional because want order immediately!!

* upgrade ram myself 32gb @ later date

 

do it! have worked out in head. time heart!

in similar position though:

i'm still struggling press button!

have late 2008 mbp (didn't buy brand new, bought refurb!) struggles through youtube videos @ 720, nfl gamepass , other flash videos. have pretty poor performance when try , run vms. work in need 2/3 vms running @ same time , whilst possible on current mbp, pain

kinda deserve little present myself (turned 30 year) seems animosity on site since upgrade! plan for:

27", 4.0ghz, m395x , 512ssd.

going maxed can use next 5 years or so. aso getting initial 32gb crucial or owc of ram. it's around £2400, comes down around £2200 have 10% off workplace, either way lot of money. have been looking @ windows builds love os x fair. don't want screwed on did ipad 3 brought few weeks before 4 came out ha
