I already have a laptop and a gaming pc (check my signature) I would either use the imac for programming, or just sell it, but I don't know if I'd get a better profit by selling the imac or the macbook Gaming rig : i5 6600k | EVGA 1070 FTW | 16Go DDR4 HyperX Fury | Intel 600p - WD Black Laptop : Macbook 2017 Home server : AMD A10 7700k | 2*2TB unraid array + 250GB ssd cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 3, 2018 OP if you are already using a mac with a SSD in it there is NO WAY you want to go back to HDD , no freaking way. see a mac with HDD in it, just run away. even a 2017 top of the line 5k imac is still garbage if it only has SSHD or HDD in it. If it is not broken, let's fix till it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I discovered the wonders of ssd's around 2012 and I never went back (except for games and nas of course) If I take the iMac, I plan on replacing the hdd with a spare 256GB ssd Gaming rig : i5 6600k | EVGA 1070 FTW | 16Go DDR4 HyperX Fury | Intel 600p - WD Black Laptop : Macbook 2017 Home server : AMD A10 7700k | 2*2TB unraid array + 250GB ssd cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
