And we say this after a few hours ago we witnessed the launch of the new 27-inch iMac models from the Cupertino company for those who plan to take the step of their purchase. The RAM of these iMac is expandable by the user and we can save a peak if we "avoid" the purchase at Apple itself.
On the back of these 27-inch iMac we continue to see the hatch that gives access to the computer's RAM, it opens when we have the Mac disconnected from the power and with the cable out. There we see the button that opens this lid and that allows us to add the RAM at home.
27-inch iMac have been user expandable since 2012
The much slimmer shaped version of these iMac released in late 2012 introduced the hatch in the rear at launch and there it is. This means that the user has easy and simple access to change this component of the iMac (one of the few that we can touch today) so the two 4GB DDR4 memory modules that the new 27-inch iMac carries is our choice always, then we can buy the RAM saving money by buying the RAM where we want and expanding with 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB.
Remember that these iMac have four accessible slots on the back and this allows us to increase RAM to the consumer's taste. Logically the prices of memory modules outside of Apple are cheaper and at first we can spend with the 8GB that the serial equipment brings to expand it to taste in the future.
