After yesterday leaked to the media that Apple had put on sale a new model of iMac, with lower performance in terms of processor, hard drive and graphics card, today the results of the first benchmarks that show that its powers are considerably lower than the superior model that follows.
Also, users have already been able to purchase and disassemble one of these new iMac and have noticed that the RAM memory modules are soldered on board and It will not be possible to update it to increase the value of the RAM in the future.
One of the things that users criticized when they went to the sell the models slim of the iMac, that is, the model in which the DVD optical drive was lost was that for the 21-inch models there was no rear hatch that, when removed, would allow us to extract the RAM memory modules. However, in the older models, in this case in the 5-inch, there was the possibility of removing the RAM without having to take off the front glass of the iMac and disassemble it almost completely to reach them.
Now, with this new lower-performance model and about $ 200 off its price, it has been found that the RAM modules come soldiers on the plate as it happens, for example, with the Macbook Air. That is why a buyer must be clear that the moment he buys one of these iMac models, he will have to die with the RAM that is welded at the factory.
