• New mac time for me. Been bouncing back and forth between iMac and MBP and I think I've landed on a new 21.5" iMac.

    Before I place the order though just wanted to have one last trawl around for a recent s/h model I could upgrade to 16GB and SSD storage. Where's good for quality reconditioned s/h macs?

  • 21.5" is quite small, why not second hand 27 with upped ram + ssd like you say?

  • I'd avoid the small iMacs. You can't replace the ram and they have normal hdds. I think they are a bit crap to be honest. Grab a small MBP and a second hand display and you have best of both worlds. Pcie flash drives as per the Mbps are amazing and I doubt you'll feel any difference in power (can't remember specs ATM) between processors but the Mbps SSD will make it fly. Grab one at an airport for 1k?
