Having been driven close to madness trying to keep my iMac 27 on the road as Mac's OS iterations disappear up the road, I'm now close to replacing it.
I'm looking at an iMac 24 or a Mac Mini with a proprietary monitor, eg LG UltraFine 32. Any thoughts?
It's imperative that I retain access to my Quadra remote drive and to my DVD reader. Both have standard USB plugs. How is this achieved?
Any recommended retail sources that accept their responsibilities when problems occur ?

standard USB plugs. How is this achieved?
Dongles/adapters/multi-port docks. Cheap and ubiquitous.
Buying direct from Apple is the path of least resistance, otherwise John Lewis with their '2-year guarantee', but I can't vouch for what that's actually worth.

I’d probably go Mac mini, then you can get one of those base units @amey keeps banging on about which should give you enough usb/thunderbolt ports to keep your dvd reader and remote drive attached, whilst you look at upgrading them to something faster/more modern.

Only so many times you can buy adaptors and dongles to keep them going before you have to just upgrade to a more modern version of it..

Is there a UK version of Brick? I’m not gonna be in the states anytime soon but quite like the sound of it

Yeah but delivery/taxes basically doubles the price

Interesting. My mate bought this mini hub and rates it:

Yeah hard to say. Might just be a bad batch? There's obviously folk out there that haven't had problems. Will report back with the store's verdict.
