I need to buy a stock mac and at this price rangeThe internal components of your iMac can be warm. Someone with little more experience than me that could help me to take a choice? The price is almost the same, the mac mini with thunderbolt cost about 200 dollars more. The mac mini have fusion drive and that is a fast disk, but only 2 prosessors and i think this apple thunderbolt display from 2011 is old technology, looks a bit grey if you look at it from the side. It have 4 prosessors and a video card, but maby the disk is a speed breaker on the iMac since its not a ssd?Īnd if i got a issue then i need to send it back for repair, I don't want to open the glass display to change hdd or something. The thing that make me unsure is that it not have ssd but a 7200 rpm disk. I think the late 2013 iMac have better display and it looks good to have all in one screen. Imac 27" late 2013 me088 7200 hdd, 1gb nvidia and 8gb ram. Mac mini late 2014 8gb ram, 1tb fusion drive with thunderbolt display.
