Making sure you get the right computer is a big thing as you don't upgrade your computer as much as your phone, so it's best to find a good one so that you're not stuck with a slow computer for years. There lots of computers brands out there and the computer I have chosen are the iMac 21.5" 4k.


The iMac 21.5" 4K


So I have picked the iMac 21.5" which was released in 2019 and features a 3.6GHZ Quad 8th generation Intel core i3 processor with a Radeon Pro 555X with 2GB of GDDR5 memory as standard. The baseline also shipped with 1 TB hard drive (not SSD) however I would suggest that you opt for the 256GB SSD as it would definitely speed up loading times and other processes however it is an extra £200 but that would still make it under a £1,500. The iMac also comes with 8 GB DDR4 ram as standard but can be upgraded to 32 GB for an extra £600 but the £200 extra for the 16 GB, is the most ram the average person really needs unless you are a serious gamer. The iMac comes with Apple wireless magic mouse 2 and an option of 2 different magic keyboards the numeric pad and no numeric pad, it is no extra cost to pick the one with the numeric pad.


The iMac port wise has 4 x USB 3 , 2 x thunderbolt 3 ,a 3.5mm headphone jack, sdxc slot and a Gigabit Ethernet.

The iMac includes a Facetime HD camera, microphone and speakers built in. The display is truly stunning, its resolution is 4096x2304, with a billion colours and works absolutely amazingly and is so clear.


The iMac 21.5" 4k baseline costs £1,249.00 but I would suggest opting for one with 256GB SSD which would cost £1,449.00 which makes it just under £1,500.
