Hi,
Yes, you are correct, although, the newer iMacs are similarly necessary to
pre-configure. If they are looking on the Apple Web-site where the refurbished
Macs are located, many of these fit the newer category, within the last 1.
years or so, thus, the likelihood of it being changeable RAM
Hi guys,
Let me throw another question into the mix.
I'm also reading Intel Quad Core; I take it that is a lot faster than Intel
Core?
Currently I'm reading used iMacs via a local Northwest store called The Mac
Store.
Thank you,

Quad core means you have four cores, whereas most Macs have two cores. While
you'd think at first that this would double the speed of the computer, that
doesn't actually happen. A quad core is great if you have software that can
take advantage of it, but most software is not optimized for so
Hi all,
I'm reading used iMac listings, and I'd like some help figuring out specs.
Intel Core I5/3.6 GHz, 4 GB of Ram
Intel Core I5/2.7 GHz, 16 GB of Ram
Intel Core I3/3.2 GHz, 16 GB of Ram
That is just a very small sampling. In which order of importance should I pay
attention to the numbers?
Hi,
It kind of all depends on your needs. The i3 processor is considerably slower
than the i5 and vastly slower than the i7. Yes, the speed is deceiving. The
i7 processor with the slower noted speed will likely perform faster than the i5
processor at 3.6 GHz. Most of the MacBook Airs come
Also, keep in mind that on most macs, it is pretty easy to upgrade the
ram yourself. Just something to consider.

Hi,
Actually, it is no longer easy to upgrade the RAM on your Mac. With the
introduction of the Retina Displays, you must choose your RAM when you either
order or choose your Mac. The RAM is soldered in now and is, essentially, not
changeable.

I believe the poster was asking about used/refurb iMacs and not retina
display mac book pros.
