So...with this new OS out...best place to ask here.
I want to buy a 27inch iMac, and I want to make it as fast as humanly possible and snappy, costs be dammed. 32 Gigs of RAM and a Fusion Drive will do that? Or would that be extreme overkill and get diminishing returns after a certain threshold?
16 GB Ram is plenty. unless you’re editing around photoshop files that are 20 GB by themselves, I don’t think it’s worth it.
A straight SSD will be faster than a Fusion Drive in some cases (very large data transfers). So if you can get the max size SSD instead of the fusion drive, that would make it about as fast as an iMac can get. But you’ll have less storage space on board. But a thunderbolt based SSD external drive will be just about as fast as an internal one and you can store tons of stuff there. just costs a fortune
