Mac OS X and a gorgeous screen.

Mac are known for quality graphics and this Retina iMac is no exception. Windows all in one computers, even with 4K screens, don't look as nice and don't run as smoothly as a Mac. This model doesn't have as fast a hard drive as serious video editing requires, but for home use it is fine. Upgrade to a Fusion drive or flash storage for that work.

Good warranty, known, decent quality control and solid performance at a price only slightly above average. Always save the receipt if you care about the warranty. No receipt, no warranty.

I am not a fan of subscription software, but software developers want a predictable flow of income. If you need Office for more than 2 years, buy a permanent license. Get the subscription if you need the software for a shorter period of time or if you need the latest versions or also want the tablet/phone versions.

Last redesigned in 2012, this is the last Mac that still has a DVD drive and a FireWire port and upgradable ram and hard drive. Buy it for your needs today but know that it can grow with your changing requirements.

My first Samsung SSD is 4 years old and still performing well. I love it when they go on sale and the price difference between the cheapest and these is less than 15%. I gladly pay that difference for peace of mind.

3 tb is a good size to store lots of video and music and photos on, but for important stuff, I buy a second one and do 2 identical backups. At 3 years, I get nervous about reliability, but there are very few moderately priced desktop drives I trust more.

Nice, compact drive for backups.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had average luck with these drives. The warranty is only useful to cover hardware replacement (not data) and requires you to have proof of purchase. I use these as Time Machine Backup drives for Macs. For Macs, make sure you get one with at least 3 times the capacity as you are actually expect to use on the computer. Remember, all drives fail sooner or later. Start backing up now and figure on replacing the backup drive before it fails (3~5 years on average).

Fast operation is assured thanks to the SATA III connection that delivers at data up to 6 Gbps, and a lack of moving parts means reliability is exceptional. Reduce energy use and enjoy quieter operation with this PNY 480GB solid-state hard drive.

SSD upgrades are the single most noticeable speed improvement you can do to your computer. Prices have fallen so do it now! The only thing you will ever regret will be if you get one that is too small and you outgrow it.
As with all upgrade components, save the receipt and box in case there is an initial problem or for the warranty (which is typically 3~5 years).

Apple wireless routers are very easy to configure but amazingly so for Mac or iPad users. This Airport Extreme Base Station was among the first to support the 802.11ac high speed standard and has 2 simultaneous transceivers so as to have one set up as high speed only and one backwards compatible with slower devices.

will this work (bluetooth) with my apple TV; my older MacAir would not, nor could it be connected via HDMI
I would also like to confirm that I could play my DVD's via the onboard burner? and then put them up on my big screen. Would that be hardwired HDMI or Bluetooth?
I also have an external DVD burner. Will these ports drive that? Again, I was told that even the new MacAir would not do that as they are not powered ports and most DVD's require that?

Absolutely. It has Bluetooth 4.0.
No need for an external DVD burner as it has one built in, but it does have 2 powered USB3 ports.
The Air supports the Apple USB SuperDrive and generic USB burners when it is plugged in to its charger.

How does installing an SSD affect you warrantly in a new computer? Does it void your warranty?
Varies by brand. If, to install it, you have to get to a screw under a "Warranty Void If..." label, you have your answer. I usually keep the original drive so as to be able to restore the computer to stock. That also allows me to have the ability to test to see if the problem requiring warranty service is drive or software related, or a real hardware problem elsewhere. Make sure to use the right tools when doing the swap or installation and refer to repair guides at iFixit.com or YouTube.
