I apologize if a similar question was asked approximately 6 months ago but I just want to double check the information validated by a single person previously.

I'm thinking about starting a cortical thickness analysis as well as segmentation analysis. Therefore

I want to buy a new iMAC 21.5" with the following specs:

• 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3,3 GHz)
• 16 GB 1867 MHz LPDDR3 RAM (on-board)
• Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200

Would anyone confirm that it supports Free Surfer analysis, particularly the graphic card included?

If you mean the CUDA acceleration, no it won't. I don't know how well that graphics setup will handle Freeview etc., if that's what you meant.
