Apologies this is an inane question; I’m new to Macs. I’ve got a refurbished late 2013 21 inch 2.7 GHz sitting here, just arrived. It’s just straight, 1TB, no fusion drive, 8GB RAM. I’m on budget and after a machine that will last a while and meet my needs. The most demanding of these will be video blogging, but not too intense. Moderate amounts of film editing –might not even need Final Cut.

Is this enough for me, or will stretching budget to 16 RAM or Fusion (which?) really be worth it? I’m probably siding with a refurbished imac, so would wait for one to come up with these add ons. Might late 2013s also not become cheaper if new model comes out soon?

Thanks everyone, sorry to be so naïve!
