Upgrade from Late 2012 27" iMac

I thought we paid this much because we wanted longevity from these machines!
I personally wouldn't spend $2000 every 2 years on a new computer kind of defeats the object of paying for a top spec machine, which you'd expect to get more use out of.

for me it was the 5k screen .... otherwise I wouldn't have switched.

Well I spent almost 2500 on my machine - if I sold it now would get around 1600-1800. That would mean about 300 a year to own a top end machine. That sounds good to me , but my 2012 is working perfect no problems and runs super smooth still almost 3 years later.

After Apple Care is up - I will prob take this to my local independent apple dealer and get an SSD put in to replace the Fusion drive.

I have been super happy with the machine.

I think the new screen is awesome but don't care for the video cards they have in them
the NVIDA GTX680MX is a great card
