“I hope you can put me in the right direction? I do a lot of web searching, job resumes and on-line continuing education training. I do like speed and impatient with slow PCs. What would be the right APPLE all-in-one for me? Should I go with the 9th core?”

Not sure what the ninth core is, I assume it is the latest desktop that allows you to have multiple hard drives and requires an external monitor. I personally feel that that is for people that who are doing very heavy work, processing a lot of photographs or videos, etc. It sounds to me like all you really need is an iMac. An iMac has plenty of power and will allow you to do all the web searching you need and is very fast. I personally also do a lot of web searching, web surfing and have multiple tabs open at the same time. I mean like several pages, with 10 to 15 tabs each, running all kinds of websites that can be heavy on the CPU. I also run a professional photography application, and a professional DJ application. Of course I am mindful to quit some applications so that I can run others so that I don't overload the CPU as well. That just never hurts. None the less, I have no problems. None of them falter at all whatsoever, and you would save yourself a lot of money by going with an iMac and you would probably be very happy with it. An iMac is $1,400, maybe $1,700. Where as you're bigger machine is going to be 5000 or $6,000. I used to sell those machines, and if you are professional photographer and you were downloading huge images and you're trying to output large files that will be printed on a gigantic Epson printer, then sure, maybe that's what you need. Otherwise it sounds to me like an iMac will suit you just fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You won’t be disappointed in it I’ll tell you that much. And a iMac will last you at least 7-10 yrs before having to buy a new one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think you mean the i9 processor; and in your case, I'd say definitely not. I have the i5 and it's perfectly well-suited for everyday computing. I can open up ten tabs of websites full of flash and ads, and I'm still going like the wind. The only thing you'd want a better CPU for (i7 or i9) is if you are planning on doing music production or video editing, or running any sort of software which requires a lot of CPU 'horsepower'.
