My criteria is working at Private University here in KL.

Got an i5 model last week. What brand of RAM did you buy and are they playing nice with the iMac? I am waiting for my Crucial RAM to be delivered via Lazada.

My late 2012 iMac crapped out during MCO and I have been working on my laptop ever since then. Have been itching for a bigger screen and took the plunge as soon as the new models were announced. Coming from a 21.5" screen, the 27" is amazing. The 5K display is wonderful and makes a huge difference. No more Fusion drive and the SSD speed is an impressive upgrade for me. The speakers sound more premium and hefty. I am happy with my purchase.

Just a cheap one. I installed them like this : 8GB/8GB/4GB/4GB . Apple's one is Hynix.

The memory upgrade is working well with the iMac?

Yes, it's working well. I tried a few combination 8GB/4GB/8GB/4GB on the slots - gave me 2133Mhz. Then I re-swap 8GB/8GB/4GB/4GB - gave me the correct 2666Mhz at 24GB. I don't feel like throwing away the 4GBs from Apple.

actually iMac is value for money even more than the macbooks.

only complaint is the super thick bezels, else everything is almost perfect.

hope they will do a redesign soon with the Apple silicon.

Call me old fashion but I like the iMac design, bezel and all. As someone who owned a 2007 model I appreciate the beauty of the slimmer chasis and even embrace the chin with the apple logo.

what are peoples thoughts about this iMac probably being last intel iMacthe last intel iMac ever?

Is it worth waiting for the ARM chipset iMac's instead?

As a public service, I would like to point to an issue with the new iMac 27" desktops. Yes, you can upgrade the RAM yourself instead of paying Apple ridiculous sums of money but there is a problem. Unlike the 2019 models, you must only use same size RAMs and preferably of the same brand for memory. Mixing the default RAMs with 3rd party units will cause performance to drop (as measured using Geekbench). There is a whole thread about this on the macrumors forum. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/memory...-imacs.2249254/

Interesting. So if filling up the slots, its better to get 4x of the same RAM model to get dual channel and 2667mhz...

Placed an order for the 27“ iMac 5k (8 core, 5700, 1TB, 10Gbe) and the current ETA is 8/9 to 15/9, about 2-3 weeks. Was thinking to get the 16" MBP but due to the overheating issues when used with external display for non 5600M models, decided to go with an iMac instead.

i wonder why there is a price cut for Apple mac product now?

Is there a price cut happening?

Finally received notification from Apple that the BTO iMac is shipping~ ETA 4th Sept 2020
