Any recommendations on buying an iMac desktop for a user who surfs the internet pretty heavily, watches videos, dabbles in social media marketing, wants to learn Swift and possibly play a couple of RTS games? I am looking at replacing my 21.5 inch 2008 iMac that continually gets the Rainbow Ball of Death because it can't seem to process quickly. I know, I know, it is ancient. I plan on upgrading every five years from now on.
I saw this advertised but am not sure if it will accomplish what I want. I imagine it will just because it is new:
- 21.5‑inch (diagonal) LED‑backlit display
- 1.6GHz dual-core or 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz - 1TB 5400‑rpm hard drive; 1TB or 2TB Fusion Drive; or 256GB flash storage (SSD)2
- Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 or Magic Trackpad 2
Is this option too much computer for my limited usage?
- 21.5‑inch (diagonal) LED‑backlit Retina 4K display
- 3.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 or 3.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor
Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz - 1TB 5400-rpm hard drive; 1TB or 2TB Fusion Drive; or up to 512GB flash storage (SSD)2
- Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 or Magic Trackpad 2
iMac (20-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
