- ceejayoz 8y agoSure, but with a user-accessible RAM bay built into the back of the machine, I can't work up the energy to be too mad about that one.
- neuronic 8y agoI most definitely give you that point.
- abrugsch 8y agoIn 2019 how many apple products have user (or technician for that matter) upgrade-able anything? honest question. I'm not a Mac person and all I see is anecdotal reports of "soldered in RAM here" "fully bonded case there" etc.
- nudded 8y agoBoth new Mac mini and 27" iMac have upgradeable RAM.
- prewett 8y agoThe 27" iMac used to have upgradable RAM, but the text for the new version says "configurable to 64 GB", not "upgradable" like it used to. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, I'm considering getting an iMac.
- rootusrootus 8y agoUnless something changed with today's update, it should be upgradeable via a hatch on the back of the machine. I upgraded my 2018 model to 40GB less than a year ago.
- thirdsun 8y agoInterestingly this article says it's upgradable, but the quote they pulled from the spec sheet isn't mentioned on Apple's website (any longer): https://www.imore.com/can-you-upgrade-ram-27-inch-imac https://www.imore.com/can-you-upgrade-ram-27-inch-imac
- asdff 8y agoOnly a matter of time before they solder the RAM in the imac like they did in the macbook.
