It would appear Apple has finally updated the iMac. New versions due in November and December. I can finally replace my 7 year old machine and process photographs in lightening fast speed. Well maybe as long as Nikon gets the pixel war under control. Now all I have to do is convince my boss that we need a new computer.

Well if you get the new top end iMac with the 27" screen then you will get to process and show the images as a slideshow in record time on a superb screen.

I am afraid my budget will limit me to the 21.5 inch model with upgraded RAM. Santa has children and grand children to tend to. :-O

To help the budget slightly don't get the RAM from Apple, get it from Crucial or OWC. Try the iMac without extra RAM because I have done speed tests with my Mac mini's and there is now little or any measurable difference with or without extra RAM. The way Apple have the system configured is very efficient. It's very easy to install yourself, or was on all previous versions of the iMac, but take full anti static precautions. You will be unlikely to make the RAM unusable but it can affect the reliability of the internal circuitry of the RAM if you give the chips a static jolt.

Yes good advice. RAM installation is very easy and costs 1/2 the price from Apple. Then you ebay the old RAM and you have a fine upgrade!

New computers always go faster than me when I first get them...so I never have need to upgrade them out of the box. In the case of Windows machines I always know when it's time to upgrade or reinstall the OS, as I find the same machine now cant keep up with me. Which explains why, as I got older, I havent needed to upgrade that regularly.

I notice that Apple seems to have dropped the Macbook Pro 17" from their line. That is a great shame as it made for a fabulous portable editing machine. I suppose that forces me to get a 15" Retina display when I come to get my next unit in a year or two.
