[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1807586, member: 51635"] You might consider getting a Mac Mini and then you can use whatever sized monitor you want. The new one does have upgradeable RAM though the process is apparently very lengthy. The 27" iMac 5K is very nice though, I have the 2015 model and I'm extremely happy with it. As far as VMs go, I tend to view them as more of a last resort. I wouldn't jump into the Mac world with the assumption that "oh, the second I run into something where I think the only solution is Windows, I'll throw a VM at it." VMs are not a cure-all and there's things they do and don't do (or do well). They are also yet another OS to maintain and care about (and buy). For the general non-gamer who has a basic app set, a VM is not necessary. macOS is going to do web browsing, Email, IMs, arguing on the internet, word processing, spreadsheeting, presentations, bragging about having a Mac.. the things people tend to do with computers.
