<prompt> Human: So heres my situation...Im 16 years old and have 4000 saved in my savings account. However, I wanna purchase a 1600 iMac to further my studies in architecture, film making, and I just like Photoshop. Now I do have a family computer which I could get by with, with just web browsing and homework doing. Now heres where it gets tricky, my parents said I cant spend anything from my savings on the iMac bc they dont believe in it. So Id basically be working for a year to just pay off debt. Id have to take a loan from my parents. At this point in my life would it just be smart to save the 1600 or should I get a powerful iMac that would last me a long time??  <response>: My opinion would be to look up a guide on how to build your own computer.Building a desk top in the long run will save you a lot more money, you wont have to buy a whole new computer every 8 years you can just go in and replace parts as needed and you can also get into it to clean it alot easier.
