Tuscia,
Yes, the only reason I purchased the Retina display version of the 21.5 model
was the enhanced processing. The lesser version 21.5 iMac is reported to be
more of an educational type machine. The major difference between the 21.5 &
the 27 inch iMac is potential RAM size & processors. I heard that the new 27
iMac, releasing soon, will be able to contain 128GB of RAM.
Good luck with your final decision,
CJ

Thanks CJ, that is also a consideration but probably a 2 or more terrabyte as
there will be a greater proportion of ssd, and perhaps the i7 over the i5 but
still in the 21.5inch model.
The ssd drives are quite a price difference over the fusions.
However, I think it is video processing that requires the higher specs, not
audio on its[ own.

Tuscia,
My MacBook Pro bought the farm in the middle of June. Actually, about the
time my wife was scheduled for surgery. So, needless to say, it was a busy
time.
Anyway, I was able to purchase a iMac, 21.5 with Retina display, as a refurb
for a nice price. It is an I5 with 16GB built in ram. I mention it,
because it had a 1TB Fusion drive. I’ve found it to be very responsive &
I’m totally happy with it. Too maybe, unless you just want to spend the
funds, you could one of the combination SSD & HD Fusion drives.
Good luck,
CJ

Thanks Keith, that is what I am considering plus probably an SSD drive
rather than mechanical.

I am using an I7 processor with 16 gig of ram on the studio computer. It
is a late 2012 and it has served me well.

I am going to upgrade my iMac and am going through the specs on the new
2017 desktops. I am currently considering a 21.5" with 32Gb RAM and the
3.6 processor.
Does anyone doing audio, Logic or GB multi-tracking have any input.
What are you driving Keith ?
