Hi!
This concerns the current 2017 iMac Models and not the later models that
will be released in a couple of months time.
I just bought myself a 2.5 inch iMac - current 2017 model -.
I went for the best specs I could buy and perhaps its just as well I did.
I considered carefully the subject of memory and decided to go for the
full amount of 32GB rather than purchasing 8 or 16GB and then upgrading.
It turns out that the iMac 21.5 inch models are sealed configurations
thus they cannot have any upgrades to the configuration applied by the user.
The same applies to the 27 inch model however the memory modules can be
accessed via a slot in the back of the machine.
I paid $160 extra for the memory upgrade from 8GB to 32GB which I didn't
consider unreasonable given upgrading memory is't a job I'm comfortable
with thus I would have had to pay someone to do the job so - I'm willing
to bet that all things considered - the upgrade price would have been
much the same had I organised this after the purchase.
Other than that? Well I think the iMac is a truly superb machine without
a doubt.
My machine runs the latest Intel i& Quad Core processor at 3.6GHZ twith
turbo boost up to 4.10GHZ.
I found a utility called Turbo Switch which allows the users to switch
turbo mode on and off - much like the older Pc's which had a turbo
button -, the people at Apple assume that developers have enough
inteligence when writing software to enable or disable the turbo
facility as they see fit.
I find the port layout fascinating, 4 USB 3.0 ports and two Thunderbolt
III?SB C ports so time to get some USB accessories and adapters to make
full use of these.
