I run a busy tattoo shop. Currently using a less than optimal HP All In One with very little RAM as our front desk. Slow and incompatible with most of our artists using Apple products. We'd like to be able to Airdrop and use other Apple features, and hopefully get a bit better performance overall.
My sister gave me a Late 2013 21.5" iMac running Catalina. I've wiped it using Disk Utility and done a fresh install.
I don't know much about MacOS. I know this model has a soldered non-upgradable HDD, which from what I've read won't fly for newer versions, so I've also ordered a 1 TB SSD with an external enclosure to hopefully install Sonoma or Sequoia on. I've also saved some threads about modifying fan speeds, but I'd like more input on that as well.
My question is: will this work? Will it be feasible as our main workhorse or am I better off buying something used but newer? We're mostly running off Google here, so I need to be able to update to the latest version of Chrome.
Thanks in advance!
