    Getting an iMac today nerds.
    Any suggestions on the fusion drive I should get 1 or 2, can I upgrade to a 2 if I need it? Using the new terminal for personal work, UI designer-- running light animation apps like principle and flino to demo microinteractions. Would like to step things up a little though. Thinking I'll have them install the 16ram since it would cost as much for me to upgrade.

    21" seems to suit me but mac employee was pushing 27" so hard; suggesting 3tb. Could do it but if I don't need it...

    I don't want a laptop this go around (for now at least)

    • via iPad- sorry about typosbklyndroobeki
    • Might as well go for the 27. Upgrade your own ram though. It's cheaper. You won't be able to upgrade the HD later so get what you need. Externals are cheap.monospaced

    • Love the compact 21" and I'm not doing crazy graphics work - thunderbolt is @ the workplace :Dbklyndroobeki
    • Not only is screen amazing for entertainment, the 27s are also faster and will last longer as a result.monospaced
    • yep 27 all the way if you can stretch to it.fadein11
    • The additional screen space gives you more multitasking abilities. Watch movies on the side, compare two browser screens, stuff like that.omg
    • It's like having a dual monitor setup without the line in the middleomg

    • get a SSD over a fusion drivefourth
    • 27" for surejaylarson
    • B sure your boot drive is SSD and your secondary can be super or rotating. The 4ghz imac is fast bruh.nthkl
    • The 21" caps your hardware capabilities meaning your machine will be outdated faster.Hayoth
    • Thanks Q00B.

    • Got all the recommended shit. Thanks! Opening it up in the morn like it's Xmas and I'm 7yobklyndroobeki
    • might come in a little late but don't get the fastest cpu - the cooling of iMac is too weak for it, throttling it down after 5 minutes of heavy usage.mekk
    • I can't imagine a life not having the 27"HAYZ1LLLA
    • Congrats, It's Christmas! :Dsea_sea
