Brandicm Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I am looking at the new iMac’s and for an additional few hundred they offer the nano-textured glass. Is this necessary? It says it cuts down on glare but the brief web search I did said it also affects contrast. I don’t need anything that interferes with my editing.

Brian Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I wouldn't get the extra fancy screens. I have a tricked out 2017 27" iMac with Retina Screen and it's fine. The glare, really isn't THAT bad. If I were buying a new iMac today, this is what I would purchase, start with the $2299 27" iMac: Be sure to add AppleCare for $169. Then I would purchase this RAM Kit from B&H to increase your RAM from 8GB to 40GB:32GB Upgrade Kit for 2019 - Current 27" iMac Systems - $134.99 Hell, for a total of $270, you can remove the existing RAM from Apple and bump your computer up to 64GB!

Brian Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If you really don't care about budget and are willing to spend around $3200, Bump up the CPU to the i9 and Video Card to the Middle Option. Still get AppleCare and increase the RAM to 64GB and you will have a sweet system for a good 7-8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
