I'm about to upgrade my mid-2010 iMac 11.3 to a slightly more modern version — with a humble desire to be able to install Monterey or Ventura on it.
But I get lost in the jungle of different chip options. What specs do I need for CPU, GPU, and SSD?
And since I'm now investing in a hardware upgrade anyway, what else would be worth upgrading at the same time --- maybe bluetooth, fan, or something else?
This iMac is my work use, meaning that I basically spend most of my working hours in front of its camera in various video meetings. In other words, it is not intended for gaming. But in these meetings, I would sometimes love to be able to use, for example, a whiteboard application or share a virtual desk with my clients. But with the current hardware specs on this iMac, its capacity for such use is not enough.
