1. Always Great Videos man 🙂

   • Thanks for watching.

2. 600 bucks extra for 32gb? Hahahahaha wtf

   • lol

   • Actually for 24GB.

   • Struwex at least you can upgrade it yourself. But the surface studio……..

   • What I find crazier is the $1600 64gb! Crazy exponential!

3. Does it void warranty?

   • Nope.

   • Matheson Steplock no, it doesn’t. This is meant to happen

4. what is different between radeon rx580 and radeon pro 580? just different naming?

   • That’s true? Hmm, I hadn’t heard that, interesting if so.

   • I’m not perfectly sure, just based on speculation. I heard all new iMac lineup will get Vega gpu, but there where nowhere states about Pro 580.

   • I thought Radeon pro is mobile version of RX

   • radeon pro is the quadro of AMD

   • Rx580 and Radeon Pro 580 is two different series. The RX-series is targeted for gamers whereas the Pro-series is for workstations. The RX580 has nothing to do with the upcoming VEGA.

5. I don’t understand the marketing Apple does when it comes to upgrading their systems, I mean what’s the reason for having this big price gap? do they hand-make their rams!!!???

   • tarek93 the average person won’t know or care how to replace the ram

   • Nethir Osman my point is that they should take extra $50 ideally of revenue, not $1000!! let’s not imagine what the Radeon Pro chips cost in reality

6. Hello! Could you please make a video comparison between 2017 iMac Fusion Drive and iMac SSD?

   • A fusion drive is basically a HDD with a small SSD cache in the same enclosure.

   • FriskFryse FrossetFrugt I know that. But I wanted to know speed tests

   • Henrique Yumi the ssd is much faster than the fusion drive since apple upgraded the speed of the pure ssd but not the speed of the fusion drive

7. Wow 40GB of RAM!!!

   Chrome get half hahaahaha

8. Can you try 64gb, berceuse Apple says 32gb is Max for the base 27″

9. Does this invalidate Apple Care?

10. Thanks man, what a great video!

11. Is this compatible with the MacBook Air ?

12. By Crucial.com memory it’s better.

13. one word to define apple; idiots.

14. hey jeff do a review for the base model+ssd: general  benchmarks, UI performance, NOISE ect… since the higher specs iMacs are experiencing thermal and noise issues!

15. Missed those days when Apple MacBook Pro line have upgradable RAM slot

16. I am about to get the new 27″ any ideas of real world difference between the 3 27″ iMacs?

17. it bothers me that it isn’t a dedicated amount like 4,…,64,128…

18. You can always buy a PC if you can’t afford a Mac, you know…

19. I did on my 2011 iMac, and saved lot of money and process, soon I am think to get the new iMac of course will do the same 😉 thank you for showing….
