• Looking at new 21.5" imacs. The new ones are un-upgradeable for RAM right? That being so I'd want to start with the pre-installed upgrade to 16GB which is another £160

    Really want SSD as well but the 500GB one is another £400... ouch. The £256GB one is more affordable but "feels" small. Is it a viable option given that I keep all data on extrernal HDs.

    Is the hybrid drive worth considering? It's cheap for a reason right?

  • Yeah, cant replace the ram in a 21, which for me is a deal breaker...

    less than 500gb in a desktop is crazy.

    Hybrid drives are actually pretty good from what I hear, they have 128GB of SSD which OS X uses cleverly. I'd go for one over an SSD as they perform well but are a decent size too and not too costly.

  • I have one of these hybrid drives. S'great. You get both the performance boost (on anything apart from huge production workflows) and the relatively cheap storage for way less.
