Which iMac is recommended for students?

In a few weeks the new course begins and students should know what material they need to carry out their activities. The use of computers and devices is increasingly essential to take notes or carry out work of all kinds. If you are thinking of purchasing a desktop Mac, you may be interested in learning more with this article.

Of course, the first decision depends mainly on the studies you plan to carry out. That is, it is not the same to study law, than a technical career and surely this will decide your choice if you mainly use the Mac for training. 

The first iMacs will be 21,5 inch. We started with the € 1.305,59 model, but not for that with few features. This model has 5GHz dual-core Intel Core i2,3. Even in some stores, we have older models, but similar features, for € 1.099. This computer has 8GB of RAM, but it can reach 16GB of memory. It is sufficient for all kinds of non-technical jobs.

For € 200 more, we have a better processor, a 5 GHz quad-core i3. If your subjects are related to calculations of some kind: physics, chemistry, engineering, you must have at least this equipment. The next step is the super powerful 5 GHz quad-core Intel Core i3,4, configurable with up to 32GB of RAM. In this case, pay another € 200 more. 

If your budget stretches above € 2000 you can access the equipment of 27 inches. Newly you should assess if you need so much screen. Here prices start at € 2.105,59 with a 5 GHz quad-core Intel Core i3,4 processor and 16GB of RAM, expandable to 32GB. The cap in this sense, would cost us € 2.605,59, but in exchange we have the all-powerful Radeon Pro 580 graphics with 8 GB of VRAM, Only usable by graphic editors, video or photography. 

In this case, we have left behind the iMac 5k and the iMac Pro, as they are not models designed for students. Finally, these prices are those of the Apple website today, but The student discount will appear shortly. Ask Apple if you are entitled to them, because the offers are always juicy.
