2. Nice

3. I’d bang for buck

   • cheap thrills

   • The MalWare Ha Ha

4. Deja Vu anyone?

5. 4 cores…that’s so 2016. It’s all about 12 and 16 core MegaGigaRipper processors

6. reupload? and also, I think the bezels make the imac look good. the lg 5k display has barely any bezels and look how that turned out compared to the imac.

   • Top Dawg I think it looks better than the iMac

7. 1699…here you have to pay well over 2300 euros for the BASE 27″ model. And still don’t get any official store.
   Why exactly I can’t order one from another country’s official Apple site?

   • You would pay the same or more, considering the sales tax that’s not announced in the US.

8. Why do you have Tweetbot and the official Twitter app?

9. I’m trying to decide in buying a Macbook Pro or a iMac..someone said the imac will get a design change next year but need a computer now tho and budget is tight, what should I get?

   • For Home buy an iMac, because you get more power for the same money. For mobility, well.. buy a Macbook

   • get the MacBook Pro fam the iMac going to get the bezels remove next year

10. I´m sorry to say but the hangout still continues at 2:59…. Please try again.

11. How much of a difference did the extra ram make? Have got one of these, but the DDR4-2400 is not yet readily available in my country (South Africa). Can only get 32gb Crucial sticks… so a little on the expensive side. Would it be ok to wait a little while or does the extra ram make a BIG noticeable difference?

12. I never really pay attention to the bezels on my iMac. I like the design and hope it stays this cheap. If Apple removes the bezels you will be pay more.

13. Great review and tips. One thing: I got the 2017 iMac 27″ with Final Cut software; however, I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) that I’d like to use it on, too. The iMac has it; the MacBook Pro doesn’t. How can I resolve that?

    • chateau7 login to the iMac using your account to link the FC then check on your purchased tab on your macbook to download it. Try refreshing the page if it doesn’t show. If this doesn’t work, call Apple support and they will link it to your account for you.

14. What external storage device is that you have there

15. These bezels are ridicoluous

16. are the ram upgradeble on the top spec 5k imac?

17. Can I ram 4 x 32gb RAM into each slot..?????

18. Wait till 2018,price drop,then is bang for buck.
