    iMac mid 2010 suddenly unusable

    Hello. This morning, my iMac just displays a series of red green blue line. Impossible to start, even in recovery mode. It's an iMac mid 2010 never opened. I wonder the reason for this sudden failure and the price of a repair, because it has always worked perfectly until today.

    iMac mid-2010 Vs iMac mid-2011

    I'm buying my parents an old iMac and see options (in a local second hand site) for both iMac mid-2010 and mid-2011. Looking at the specs the big difference is i3 and i5 respectively. I rather buy something that will be as future proof as I can within the budget. Am I OK with the 2010 or rather...
