I agree, but I think this lesson needs qualification.
If you know how to diagnose a bad drive and replace it, don't buy an iMac. The vast majority of people would need to bring a broken computer into a repair shop to replace the drive, even if that computer were a PC with a highly accessible solid state drive. I won't ever buy a mac again, but it makes sense for some people to do so.

- incompatible 6y agoPresumably the repair shop will charge more if the job on the iMac takes 5 times as long and risks damaging the screen.
