My Apple Wishlist

Since a few months I’m thinking about buying an Apple. Not the fruit of course – I eat one apple every day. I’m talking about an iMac. Because at home I work most of the time with photos or videos, creating DVDs or making artworks, I wonder why the idea of a Mac wasn’t there earlier. Well, enough words – here’s my wishlist:

• Apple iMac 24″
• 2,33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
• 2 GB RAM
• 500 GB Harddisk
• 128 MB NVidia Graphics Adapter
• Iomega 1TB Ultramax external Hard-drive
• Aiport Extreme Station

The iMac

My current PC configuration for making all the stuff mentioned above is a 3,2 Ghz Intel P4 HT with 1 GB RAM and a 250 GB Serial ATA Hard-disk. Graphics are brought to my 17″-TFT-Display by a 128 MB ATI Card. So I think the Mac will perform great for me (and my new Canon EOS 400D which produces about 15MB per photo in RAW-mode )

The Ultramax drive

You think one terabyte and RAID 0 or RAID 1 is an exorbitant solution for a private user? Hmm… no I want to have my whole photo library (consists of about 10.000 photos) and the last five to ten tapes of my camcorder on harddisk to have immediate access to the content. New photos and videos are also stored there. Since I’ve lost about 500 photos and some other data by a headcrash a few years ago, I think RAID 1 is a good solution for such important data. Photos and Videos are snapshots of life an cannot be reproduced…

The Airport

I think it’s a very practical solution to plug an USB drive and a printer to the Airport Extreme Station and share it across the whole wired and wireless network. When the Mac comes, it would be the third client in the network and I don’t want to use any of those as a file or print server. So the Airport is a good solution for having a central file space and a printer connection that is always available.

I never liked Macs but the G5 has changed all that. I haven’t made the switch yet but I have been playing with it.
