My father is looking for a workstation iMac. He mostly works with Adobe inDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat as well as QuarkExpress. And sometimes needs to run Windows 7 in Parallels. So my big question is, what should I be looking for? Graphic card performance shouldn't be that much of a hassle, should it? I mean, sure Photoshop, Illustrator and inDesign probably use graphic processing, but isn't RAM a more important factor int hem running smoothly? And what about CPU core number?
I'm probably looking for a used/refurbished one on ebay. Are used/refurbished ones good or should they be avoided? We live in Croatia so, shipping could be a problem, although, Germans offer nice shipping rates on their ebay.
Many thanks in advance.
P.S. No he does not want a PC. It is his arch enemy, per say.
P.P.S. I think I have maybe posted the same thread in the wrong subforum? (System) Is this the right one?
