I'm on the fence, and I can't figure out what to do, and apple doesn't make it any easier.
I walked into an apple store last week ready to buy an Imac, I've had one before but sold it when they dropped Nvidia and built a hackintosh, but always secretly missing that 5k Retina screen. So at the store with money to spend, I ask for version of iMac with SSD, I find out to my surprise that those are custom built and have to wait a week to pick one up. I can wait a day or 2 for something, but a whole week, that is torture. I'm the kind of guy who wakes a few times in the middle of the night to check the status of my Fedex delivery. So waiting a week, no don't work for me.
Back to my question, this got me doing a little research, because hey I had nothing else to do, thought I'd be playing with my new iMac. I'm guessing that this is probably the last year of this current version of the Imac. I think it's the only model without the T2 chip. No HDMI port? and only 2 TB ports, the Mac mini has the connections I'm looking for, but no GPU and no apple monitor.
I don't keep my computers too long, I wouldn't want to spend $3,000 Canadian dollars only to see a new iMac being released in September with a better screen, T2, a slimmer bezel.
