If you plan to do any video editing or gaming then don't get it. The specs of it are just like a laptop, and laptops are almost 3x more expensive than desktops for the same performance. Build your own PC here. Add a good graphics card and processor, thats all that really matters.
Today my dad bought a 27 inch iMac with these specs: 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GBS RAM ATI Radeon 4670 1TB HDD 27 inch screen at 2560 by 1440 resolution http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5030/testq.png The computer isn't mine but I can use it whenever I want to.
I was really bored so I made a fake HUD for Reach: http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/6885/hudl.png If my computer could run 3DS Max then I would render out a weapon model and maybe make some fake gameplay.
Sometime early next year I'm going to get a new PC with these specs: OS: Windows 7 Home Premuim (64 bit) Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 945 quad-core processor [3.0GHz, 2MB L2 + 6MB L3 shared, up to 4000MT/s] RAM: 6GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM Hard Drive: 640GB 7200 rpm SATA Graphics: 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] Monitor: HP 2159m 21.5-inch 16:9 Full HD Widescreen Monitor Warranty: 2 Years Total Price: $999.98
