    new imacs out. my 5yo pb pro is dying and i need a new computer. thinking of veering away from laptop because i don't need a portable.

    i "thought" that maybe the new imacs would be a bump over the previous generation but they look pretty identical in specs: ram, storage, speed, monitor. is it just a new processor that's the difference? am i missing anything? last year's model is about 15% less at BestBuy.

    • the retina display in entry level models and new peripherals (keyboard, touchpad, mouse) are the innovation.uan
    • and I wouldn't buy a non-retina (or high pixel density) screen no more.uan
    • I'd be looking at the 4k/5k models so that's covered. I like the new peripherals but not for $ difference.MrAbominable
    • Remember to consider the gfx card with the new Retina iMacs - they are horseshit and will only be worse driving a 4K display.face_melter
    • f_m, are you saying that the older machines had a problem? or that the new gfx card is bad?MrAbominable
