That's really helpful, thanks Sam. It's also a little disappointing as whilst I don't begrudge any firm wanting to make profits, it seems we are in an Apple era where it's so easy to simply recommend any of their products depending on one's needs.
Now, the spec might also let someone down. Ok, it'd work, but that 21.5" iMac being "woefully" slow just sounds a shame! Anyway, as someone who heeded your advice and slipped an SSD into my Early 2011 MBPro, this thing runs like greased lightning (with Mavericks), so no complaints this end.
