Sekuyizinsuku ezine kuphela kusukela i-Apple imemezele ukuthi ivuselele amamodeli amaningi wamakhompyutha ayo, phakathi kwayo kukhona iMac womabili ama-intshi angu-21,5 no-27. Kuze kube manje yonke into ejwayelekile futhi bekucatshangwa ukuthi izibuyekezo zivela kuphela ezandleni zabaprosesa abasha be-Intel, okuthi ngemuva kokubona lokho okushicilelwe yi-iFixit kukude kakhulu neqiniso.
Enye yezinto izinkulungwane zabalandeli be-Apple abakhala ngayo ukuthi lapho iMac entsha esezingeni elincane iqala ukuthengiswa, esimweni samamodeli angama-21,5-intshi, amabhodi we-RAM nabaprosesa beza bethengiswe ngokuphelele kubhodi yomama. Okwamanje iMac engama-intshi angama-27, ibinenketho yokwandisa i-RAM kepha lutho ngalutho ngokulandela iprosesa.
Kubukeka sengathi u-Apple akayekile ukulalela ukugxekwa nakumamodeli athulwe ngoMsombuluko owedlule, i-iFixit ikwazile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-Apple ibuyele emcabangweni we-modular futhi iyanwebeka kuzo zombili izigaxana. Manje, ama-processor awathengisiwe futhi namakhadi we-RAM awathengisiwe. Endabeni ye-27-inch, kusekhona lelo hatch elincane langemuva ongashintsha ngalo amamojula we-RAM kepha esimweni samamodeli angama-21,5-intshi, noma inamamojula athandekayo, kuyadingeka ukuvula nokuqaqa ngokuphelele ikhompyutha ukwazi ukwandisa inkumbulo eshiwoyo.
Ngakho konke lokhu, lezo ze-iFixit zihambise ithebhu futhi sezivele zithengisile ezinye Amakhithi wokuthuthukisa i-RAM kuze kube ngaphezulu futhi akukho ngaphansi kuka-32 GB. Bafuna ukunikeza le nketho, ngoba imodeli eyisisekelo engu-21,5-intshi inikeza i-16 GB ye-RAM nge-processor ye-3,0 GHz futhi uma umthengi efuna ukukhulisa i-RAM iye ku-32 GB Kufanele kuye kumodeli olandelayo we-3,4GHz, kukhuphule intengo yemishini ngo- $ 200 ye-processor jump bese kamuva kukhuphuka kwe- $ 600 ngaphezulu ukufinyelela ku-32 GB ye-RAM.
Njengoba ungangeza, ngakho-ke sizoba nokuthi uma sifuna ama-32GB we-RAM kumele sikhiphe okungaphezulu futhi singabi ngaphansi kwama-dollar ayi-800, ngenkathi ikhithi yokwandisa iFixit izoba cishe ngama-dollar angama-300. Ikhithi yokwandisa inikela ngamamojula we-RAM ayi-16GB DDR4-PC2400 2400MHz nawo wonke amathuluzi adingekayo wokufaka esikhundleni.
