That spec machine would be a *heck* of a lot cheaper if it wasn't branded "Apple"

The display will be utterly gorgeous, mind.

That is much more computer than you need to surf the net, do word documents and whatever. If you're into music production, graphic design, video editing then it may not be enough, depending what you're into (e,g, for EDM it'd be fine, unless you run Omnisphere or something, but for orchestral samples...more RAM bro...). But that thing will eat consumer-type stuff for breakfast.

What will you use it for, other than wrathing? SSDs and so on are essential for some of us but overrated for others. Do you need to edit high def video, or stream audio from multiple sources off the disk? Will you be editing stuff (even documents/spreadsheets) over about 5-6Gb in size (so it will probably swap some memory out to disk)? If not, and most people are "not", then a normal HDD is just fine and SSDs are expensive for what they do for you. The machine *will* turn on that bit faster, up to you if that's worth the extra ££ I guess :)
