Is it worth buying 2013 iMac?

The 2013 iMac is a good machine and can be upgrade for memory. Anything else like swapping out the drive is difficult but can be done. Of course the newer machine you buy, the longer usage you can get out of it. I personally do not recommend the 21″ iMacs because of their lack of upgradeability.
