Will the 27" be too big? Still thinking buying high end 21.5" or entry 27" iMac...

It will not, unless u have space constraint. Even a lot of external monitor is 24-inch and above nowadays.

Agreed, and the price different btw high end 21.5" (w upgrade 16GB ram) beginning model 27 pricing not really far away.

My consideration is:
Buy high end 21.5" with upgrade 16GB ram
(Because 21.5 model very difficult DIY upgrade RAM)

Or

Buy entry model 27" and upgrade the RAM in future.

Actually the customs ppl do, but I tell them I bring in to SG for service. And I'm using my Malaysia Apple ID to purchase the Macs so on the box it mentioned "For Apple Malaysia SDN BHD", further more inside the iMac has MCMC paperwork, and I opened the box make it look like used and the custom buy my storyπŸ˜€

My iMac is 1TB fusion drive, I didn't upgrade the specs.

the keyboard with numpad is that bigger than current one?Β  i mean the space between each button...

The space between the keys is the same, but I always use the numeric key and the keyboard look nicer that's the reason I upgraded it. 😝

How is the iMac 5k 8gb ram fare as of now?

Is a powerful machine, even work better than the my MacBook Pro with touch bar. But recently I'm running an AI file with 3GB size... the read and loading is very slow... I'm thinking is because of ram and HDD.

QUOTE(kiddokitt @ Aug 1 2017, 08:01 PM)
Go to pages 3 and 4. Much info is shared there on upgrading iMac RAM.
