QUOTE(westlife @ Jun 11 2017, 06:45 PM) Of course it is. There are so much bump on so many aspect since ur model. But it's working fine tho. I have intentions to upgrade simply because I'm so used to the Retina display on the MacBook Pro to the point that every time I use my iMac, it feels like I'm using an ancient piece of antique by just looking at the resolution This post has been edited by sengkin95: Jun 11 2017, 06:52 PM |

QUOTE(westlife @ Jun 11 2017, 08:27 PM) actually is 27" too big? in terms of size, feel that 21" one is quite nice too. Not really. In fact, I am looking for an ultra-wide external monitor to complement my 27-inch |

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

QUOTE(westlife @ Jun 17 2017, 02:11 AM) only the mid and highest spec of 27-inch can upgrade to i7 processor, but very expensive. I don't think it's worth spending that much tho. Spending it on the RAM would be a worthier choice, in my perspective. |

QUOTE(mokmok07 @ Jul 19 2017, 02:42 AM) Will the 27" be too big? Still thinking buying high end 21.5" or entry 27" iMac... Nah. 27-inch won't be ginormous. In fact, once you go bigger, you won't go smaller |

QUOTE(./Hack-Fusion @ Aug 21 2017, 02:09 PM) icic, how about the performance using photoshop or lightroom on 4k/5k? does it lag? saw a lot complain from previous model That, I noticed. Once in a while, the Lightroom in my 5K iMac lags but more often than when I run it on my 2014 MacBook Pro. Dunno why though... |

Has anyone here installed macOS High Sierra on the 27" iMac with 5K Retina Display? Experiencing some performance slowdown upon installation.

QUOTE(kiddokitt @ Oct 2 2017, 10:17 AM) Yes, upgraded to High Sierra on my 2016 iMac. Was using it the past two days over the weekend for Word, YouTube, Twitter, and usual stuff. But I didn’t experience any lag. Quite happy with High Sierra at the moment. Not sure I was running too many applications at one time but if there's one thing that I find consistent is the time it takes for Safari to open websites. Takes slightly longer than usual. |
