Ok guys need some advice here.

I need to run CS4 (mainly Illustrator) and I'm thinking of getting iMac 24' entry level.

I haven't run CS apps on Macs b4, so any experience soul out there can tell me the diff of running CS on Macs vs PC?

And any1 heard anything about new / refresh of iMacs coming out soon?

Thanks.

May i know where to get Imac 20' as in buying it today.Any place recommend around central like Mid-Valley or Lowyat plaza.
If you are dealer of Imac,Please contact me.
0126577071

p/s:If mod thinks this thread in wrong section,kindly move it.thanks

er...midvalley got machines. lowyat also got apple reseller. pavillion got epicentre. :| did u do ur research b4 u ask?

and i think this thread is irrelevant.

im sorry.Im too noob in this section.And i found no proper thread.Really sorry.In my previous post,there no reply at all.So i started in main threads.

Does all the price of Imac same in all branch.?Im just worrying that is not Apple Warranty Imac.How do i ensure its genuine.Coz Apple Direct they offer Apple Remote and some freebies.If like normal shop they dont provide such freebies.Thanks

just be sure they are apple authorised reseller. try calling each of them up to check on freebies n compare. if u r not sure if they are authorised apple reseller, try check in apple malaysia's web site.

oh ya, and u might wanna wait for 1 month or so since there are numerous rumors that imac is going to be refreshed soon

oic.thanks for the information.
But i im already leaving now from my seremban house to buy it.Which place should i consider more.Like Lowyat plaza or at Machines.Coz in lowyat the price can be bargain and lots of freebies.Correct me ..

i wanted 2 buy an 24" 2.66ghz imac today, but what I heard is that the new lineup is about to be announced. Is this true? I actually put the purchase on hold until it's official.

Well, no one will know for certain other than Apple themselves when the new iMacs will be out. But it does seem to make sense that the iMacs will be updated soon with the new processors from Intel already rolling out to consumers.

I guess if you got a good deal on the 2nd hand unit and don't mind the fancier new units, go ahead.

Guys im looking for a new macbook. Im a windows user all my life. so when it comes to mac im super noob.
I notice some people includes original MAC OS and some dont in their package. any disadvantage non-original MAC OS compared to original? is it like Original Windows Vista vs Pirated one?

chinkor, every mac comes with original mac os X, no such thing as ori or pirate version

The included OS DVD Install were the OEM version. It only fit to the Mac where it comes from IF Im were not mistaken. You can buy the Retail version from the local distro.

but some sellers said original OS not included. same meaning as original windows vista not included? and i have to download myself and install myself?

They might be lost, it just OEM version of installer anyway

Although i wont disagree that there is a new imac in the pipeline, it is highly unlikely that it would be revolutionary. In fact, my favourite Imac of all time is Imac G4 "iLamp" I find it incredibly difficult to believe that quadcore to come into imac and eat into Mac Pro's market. It doesn't make sense although it can be true. All the other stuff like sd slot, new mouse and remote aren't that significant. Im sure there are people are NOT using the mighty mouse now and trust me, it probably make no difference to their apple experience anyway. If you can hold, then just hold on, rumours is that it is soon but it is pretty much spontaneous.

Rumours exist because of the product life cycle is almost up. That estimation is based on the time it took Apple to change previous versions.

Hope that helps. Cheers

One of the main reason why Apple Laptops cost more than regular laptops because Apple Laptops come with the Mac OS X and the iLife 09 where as Malaysia seem to be openly selling "Free-Dos" Lappies out there. Unless you're paying RM619 less than RRP (The price of a Mac Box Set) (http://store.apple.com/my/product/MACBOX-101801?mco=Nzk2MTEyNA), you are being ripped off!

hi eugene / pmsoo

thanks for the advice. I'll wait until the new imac is out. should be out soon, better to get a new model since i'm buying as an investment for my photography work.

Wow.. just lurking around thinking about jumping to Mac... and was thinking about iMac for my new video hobby... and now new iMac will be coming.....

Macbook Pro 13 vs Imac 24" spec middle 2008...

Which one u prefer?

Imac with 2.8ghz RM4300
Macbook Pro RM4499

I'm looking for editing pix..

iMac obviously more display, you'll get more out of it.

do you need it to be a mobile editing : you don't have a studio / office? > MacBook Pro

if you have a office / studio / home > get iMac ...

Don't have studio...currently i'm freelance only...

24" lcd get my vote. Not to mention the extra workspace when doing editing.
