    Going to buy a 27 inch iMac need some help with the add ons

    I know its gay but I haven't seen anything that's comparable!


    27 inch 2.7Ghz Quad i5

    Memory - upgrade to 8Gb is that enough (current Vaio is running 1GB)

    Hard Drive-1TB seems more than enough

    Mouse & Trackpad - Magic mouse, magic trackpad,MM+MT,Apple mouse which is the best?

    Apple Remote - seems a bit OTT although the VAio has one

    Thunderbolt cable - wtf??

    Thunderbolt storage - not sure I need EDD
    Mainly be used for posting krap on sites like this, downloading porn,creating invoices,occasional play with virtualisation and as a trophy machine to impress the guests

    £1588.99 so reassuringly expensive

    or should I go for the quad i7 flavour?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

    See if you can get it up to £2k - max the HDD and i7. That way you get the VAT back. Buy your memory from Crucial. I have 16GB in mine. It's probably way overkill, but it was pretty cheap.
    And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.
