By all means get the iMac but DON'T buy the RAM from Apple (too expensive) I bought my iMac with 8GB of RAM from Apple but then installed two 16GB of RAM myself that I bought from OWC (Other World Computing). Infinitely easy to install. They show you with video how to do it. Took 4 minutes to do. I now have 40GB at a fraction of the price. Hope this helps. Visit OWC.com

This is all I know. I did upgrade my 27" and it is running well i do everything on it.
It appeared easy to install. But what scary when snapping in the cards. Very hard to put in. I thought I might break something.
Got through that and if you dont know the computer makes a loud sound while this process is going on. It was not that easy
not that hard. I think the whole deal was less then $200.
And as far as I know the 27" only takes up to a 16mg ram. Confused by what I read here.
Good luck.

For that kind of $$ you would get an amazing PC that would be easy to upgrade further if needed. 32 G Ram, no problem. 8 G ram on video card. Easy. Check out some of the recent bench marking, PC's are stomping on MAC's for a thousand dollars less. But Mac people like Mac's, I get it.

Hi James, I hear that argument all of the time. Only thing I will say is I have used Apple products for almost thirty years. Never had a unit fail,never been hacked, even get spam very infrequently. As they age they will slow down which is why I am replacing my 8 yr old unit. I cannot upgrade to newer OS and Apple will tell me that rather than allow me to upgrade and watch everything crash as happens with PCs. I am not a geek on tech issues but a user of systems and when they fail I rely on others. I have had a total of four issues needing Apple help in those 30 yrs and all resolved in no more than two contacts by phone. If that kind of performance has cost me a few thousand dollars over 30 years I'll live with that.
Thx Pat

You’ll love your 27” and totally agree, you for the most memory and power. You won’t go wrong and up front money is better than trying to fix later
