This new iMac is a great machine. This model has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M graphics processor which should provide excellent video editing and gaming performance. I cloned OS X to a 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD that is attached to a Seagagte GoFlex Thunderbolt adapter. The iMac boots in less than 12 seconds from the Thunderbolt adapter. The Seagate Thunderbolt adapter is an inexpensive solution if you want SSD performance but don't want to pay Apple's premium for an internal SSD drive (you can use any SSD with the Seagate adapter). I previously had a Mac Mini that I installed an SSD into. The iMac has removed a lot of cable clutter from my desk, and the improved graphics card (the NVIDIA GTX 775M is a very high end card) has really added "zip" to my video and graphics applications. The dispaly is excellent. I'm not a gamer, but reviews of the 775M (see the NotebookCheck website) indicate that this is a really great graphics and gaming processor. This is one fantastic machine. I used to build PC gaming machines for my sons, and high end PC's for friends. I love thius machine and OS X - I'll doubt that I'll ever go back to Microsoft.
