2011 was the last good year for Apple products that are repair/upgradeable, atleast for computers. When people ask if they should buy a new iMac to build games with Unity I always tell them to get a cheap 2011-2012 MacMini and upgrade the ram and disk. But thats a 7 year old device, you're stuck with a dataed CPU (which can get the job done,) but def not my every day.
- charlesdm 9y agoIf you want to get a desktop device and save on hardware, the best option these days is probably to go Hackintosh (though I've read it can sometimes be a bit annoying to upgrade the OS). iMacs generally are surprisingly good value though.
- mantas 9y agoHackintosh user for 4? years there. Stick to verified specs and you'll be fine. Haven't had any problems since setting everything up. Although I do keep hot backups just-in-case... But I'd do that using OEM iMac too, so not much of a disadvantage.
