I used that same model for 5 years until I finally upgraded in 2017 and totally regretted it, the upgrade was not worth it at all, I would have been just as happy with the 2012. I quickly replaced it again with the "Mea Culpa" 201

Was that an Intel iMac? On the Apple Silicon machines, the internal SSD also contains all the stuff that would be on the firmware flash chip and NVRAM on an Intel machine, so it's required even when you boot from an external drive

The SoC needs to have a hardware display controller for each display, and Apple only put 3 of them on their chip. You can add as many extra displays as you want using DisplayLink which runs as a standard USB device and doesn't use the

The Apple tech specs page says "Maximum continuous power: 155W" and USB-C PD supports up to 240 W these days, so technically it's doable, although it would be a nightmare with people trying to run it off the far more common

Although in my experience all the traffic from East Asia and Oceania (Australia, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc) to Europe goes through the US. So network-wise, the US is more central.
