My personal laptop is a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X and Windows 10/via Parallels. Works great.

You can put Parallels, Windows, other keyboards and mice, etc on your 27" iMac. Set up Concurrence, and your Windows apps will appear to run in your Mac OS environment, just as if they were native Mac OS apps.

Macs last a long time, in my experience anyway. We have a couple of 2010 Macs in service at home, and even a 2005 (?) G5 iMac. They all work fine. Throw in a RAM upgrade and an SSD, and these older machines speed up remarkably.

One thing I don't like about the newest Macs, especially the laptops, is that increasingly memory is non-upgradeable (RAM is soldered to motherboard) in pursuit of ever-slimmer form factors.
