Sorry for late reply. I snapped this picture specs of the iMac I bought.

Yes, this looks to be it.

if u asked me, the late 2015 model is not worth it for its price.

Price difference: RM850 but you missed the following:
Even ignore all the spec upgrade, the model you have is having a standard HDD, it will become a serious bottleneck in terms of performance even now. All the in shop iMac does not come with the option of fusion drive or SSD for late 2015 iMac, so it is totally not recommended to buy from the shop itself but should customize it and buy from apple online store instead.

1) Skylake vs Kabe Lake - Faster and more powerful than ever, iMac is now equipped with seventh‑generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and the latest high‑performance graphics.
2) 3.2 vs 3.4 Ghz
3) Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz vs Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
4) 1TB (7200-rpm) hard drive vs 1TB Fusion Drive - Storage kicks into high gear as well, with the speedy and spacious Fusion Drive now available in standard configurations of both the 27-inch and 21.5-inch Retina models. So you can do everything you love to do on iMac. All at maximum velocity.
5) AMD Radeon R9 M380 graphics processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory vs Radeon Pro 570 with 4GB video memory -
1.4X faster video editing/1.5X faster gaming/1.4X faster 3D graphics
6) Two Thunderbolt 2 ports vs Two Thunderbolt 3 ports - Double the speed and bandwidth of the previous generation. Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports come standard on all iMac models, each delivering up to 40 Gbps data transfer for external drives and cameras and twice the bandwidth for video and display connectivity.
7) Retina 5K display with IPS technology vs Retina 5K 5120x2880 P3 display - 43% brighter than previous model/
1billion colours/The Retina display shines even more vividly on the new iMac. With one billion colours and 500 nits of brightness, graphics leap off the screen in a whole new light.

The screenshot shown is k12.. if you are not student.. base price for 27 inches is 7999

Even rm7999 it is the same also.

Given that the drive alone it is already rm460.
So the price difference is even smaller.

Most importantly one will know how to make use of the education price discount to get even more bang out of the bucks. Many had done so.

If take rm7999, the price is only 16.25%. Given that since the last upgrade, it has been almost 1.5 years, the incentive is not a lot.

If take rm7549, it is merely 11.26%.

The incentive is way too little, not to forget, it is not even consider the drive upgrade of fusion drive is already rm460.
Of course, u may say, u can survive with HDD. but whoever has used for a machine with HDD vs SSD, one will know the difference.

For a rm6699 machine, one still need to sacrifice for the bottleneck of HDD, and given that it is now 2017, it is absolutely crazy.

Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad now available in lion city but not bolehland.

Interested on the 27" too. The RM7999 base model is good enough for me.
Since I'm not going to customize much on the spec, where should I purchase then? Local store like machines or epicenter (after they have it for sale) or Online Apple Store?

Yes 27-inch base model has the most well-balanced spec against the price. More worthy than buying the 21-inch 4K one with a little extra added.

Buy from Apple online store is better.

Would you mind elaborate more upon buying online is better?

For such expensive stuff, I prefer cash and carry for peace of mind though.

Now waiting the numeric keyboard then will pull the trigger.

buy from Apple online, within 14 days got problem u can request for one to one exchange. Certainly not the case if u buy from dealers.

Guess what, my late 2012 iMac failed on me completely, should I just buy this 2017 model to replace or send it back for repairs? I'm afraid they have to replace the whole logic board

should see what is the problem first? If it is just ssd, hdd or even ram, should be able to fix quite easily I Guess?

So far my 27" 5K iMac is running just fantastic. Went online to OWC to purchase additional 8GB DDR3. Costs me USD60.99 plus another USD23.05 for DHL shipping. Based on exchange rate of 4.26MYR to 1USD, it's not too pricey.

How much does it sell locally?

Checked on 11th. Street, they sell it for RM442. And I hadn't had time to survey Low Yat Plaza shops or any other computer shops. One thing I found out was Mac memories are not the usual desktop RAMs that we can simply buy over the counter. Seeing that's the case, I didn't bother hunting everywhere and just settled for OWC. Quite a number of Mac enthusiasts recommended that shop. The other being Crucial.

crucial i saw online reviewer uses it to upgrade the ram for iMac also.

ya, how to determine which ram iMac can use like that sia?

i will probably go with 8gb ram first, and see if there is a need later then consider upgrade ownself.

OWC are great at warrant claim. No questions ask when you need replacement, the only problem with oversea purchase is OWC doesn't pay for oversea shipping, even on failed devices. in US, i have 4-5 sticks of OWC failed on me for my MacPro and they always fulfil the claim. It's lifetime warranty! Their stuffs can get a little pricy but their service is top notch.

Ic. But quite a hassle woh since anything need to claim warranty overseas.

That's right. In US, OWC is top choice for enthusiast because it's cheaper and stellar customer service. it has always been my place to go if i need anything on Mac. In Malaysia, one may have to consider shipping cost and warranty claim. Unless it's a big difference in price that warrant it, i would just go with Apple. Shipping cost and Custom are straight up hassle. Having says that, could be wrong, i don't think Apple offer lifetime warranty on sticks, so OWC has the advantage here when it comes to longevity.

It's quite easy to identify the type of iMac memories we can buy. All info is found in the top left corner of the desktop when we click on the black Apple logo. Very important to buy the same speed, latency, low voltage, unbuffered, 204-pin size and etc. The specs have to match existing RAM in the iMac. Also must buy in one pair quantity.
