[QUOTE="Lightcraftsman, post: 1466383, member: 253972"] Re: 2012 iMac 21.5-inch: The deal killer for me is the limitation of 8 GB RAM. I have 20 GB in my 2011 iMac and can increase it to 32 GB if necessary. Eight GB might be fine if you are editing JPEGs in PhotoShop Elements or short video clips in iMovie, but I shoot RAW images and have some drum scanned 4x5 images that are 1 GB in PhotoShop. Six years ago 8 GB RAM was plenty, but times have changed and now 8 GB is the minimum I can recommend for using PhotoShop. The 21.5-inch iMac is an excellent computer, but keep that limitation in mind when making your decision. [/QUOTE]
