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.

Please do tell about the specs that you modified. So far I have added new 3rd party RAMs to my base model. Since mine was factory default specs, it came after 3 days of ordering it.

I've chosen the tier 3 model with Radeon Pro 5700, 1TB SSD and 10G ethernet port. The ram as you had, would add 3rd party rams instead of paying the "Apple tax". biggrin.gif

Great! You saved a lot than buying from Apple~

By the way, may I know when did you order the iMac? I ordered mine on 20 August, tracking status shows picked up since 31 Aug but there has been no more movement ever since.

Ordered it on the 25th Aug. As for the tracking you really shouldn't be bothered because Apple does bulk shipping with DHL which means you wont get any tracking until the day its up for delivery.

Thanks for your kind info~ When did it arrive at your place? Did you also upgrade the storage and 10G ethernet? It seems the 1TB option and 10G are most likely the parts holding back.
