She currently uses an iMac from late 2011 and we just upgraded the MacOS to High Sierra. She is a kindergarten teacher and uses it quite a bit for work related projects.
I am looking at the mid-level model for $1299 with 4K display and hard drive upgrade.

We did upgrade her old iMac with a Crucial mx100 512 gb SSD. So it would be best to get an SSD on the new system, or perhaps the fusion drive. Fusion sounds like a hybrid hard drive. Any advice on Fusion vs regular SSD?
A possible reason to upgrade is that the old iMac is not compatible with Mojave, the latest MacOS version. I like keeping up with OS software due to security gains. That said, in the past Macs have not been targeted by malware very often.
Anyway, I don't keep on Apple products much, so any feedback would be appreciated. Given how long the old iMac has held up it seems like a good time to replace it with a newer model.
