    I still have and use my 2013 iMac daily! I've taken extra great care of it over the years, so it still looks and runs like new. Mine has 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB hard drive, which is more than sufficient for me and what I use it for. I use it for my full-time medical and legal transcription job and basic web browsing, email, Microsoft Office, and some light photo editing. It's still able to perform any task I throw at it without a single hitch. This is why I have so much love for Apple products. When you buy an Apple computer, you KNOW that it's going to serve you well for many years to come and you're definitely getting your money's worth. I just splurged and bought a brand new 2020 model MacBook Pro to upgrade from my 2016 and I'm sure that will last me for a very long time! I might buy a newer model iMac next year, but we shall see! Right now, I don't see the need to spend the money when my 2013 is still a work horse.

    Very interesting that people still use iMacs from this era. Even though, it’s old it’s still useable in 2022. I have late 2012 27 inch, with 24GB ram installed + macOS Monterey. It works well for what I use, I love the big display and the loud speakers!

    Is your iMac using intel Iris Pro Graphics?
    I just have iMac 21.5 in late 2013. But the LCD very bad, I mean, I think it requires video card upgrade. The thin letters and writings are not clear.
    Is there anyway to upgrade the video card so that I would have a better display?

      I've never done animation on it, but for editing it pretty much handles 1080p no problem, but once you start getting to high bitrates and 4k it's tougher. maybe consider an M1 Macbook at this point, they're the same price that i paid for this imac at the time and work way better

      Ram mostly has to do with multitasking and doing things at the same time, 8 will get you by, but you'll have to make sure you close other apps and stuff. I don't regularly use graphic design apps so idk what memory requirements they have. I run activity monitor constantly to see what's running and how much power it requires. As far as the OS it's not really relevant as you can update it.

    My current HP Spectre laptop is about reaching its death bed and I’ve been window shopping for A computer too. I do mainly photography. Started looking at the Dell XPs laptop (which is like 4 kidneys) cause I’ve never really owned a Mac or used one extensively (except the intro I have to iphones, which I assume computers are pretty different, idk) but I’m considering trying 🖥 out. This seems legitimately workable for photography needs and BTS video stuff. Watchu think? Tryna get a car so I’m not out here tryna spend the cost of 4 kidneys on a machine to sit at home, though it’s a good investment into my photography business too.

      You could definitely find a 2012 or 2013 imac with less specs than this one that still shreds photos for $4-600. Not as computer intensive. Even less if you're willing to go 21 inch screen as opposed to 27. And that's still massive compared to any laptop
