Up to very recently, there were more 4GB iMacs out there, but I would say that if you have less than 8GB, you will see a performance boost from increasing your RAM.Īpple have made several different versions of the iMac, so to see if there are compatible upgrades for your iMac, just refer to the table below. The minimum amount of RAM that Apple puts into an iMac now is 8GB. If you have more RAM it means that your iMac will normally feel faster as you are using apps, especially if you are opening multiple apps, or web browser tabs, at the same time. It’s where apps and data live while you are actively using them. Without getting too technical, RAM gives your computer a high-speed temporary work space. The only serviceable part is the RAM, which can be increased up to 32GB.There are two types of “memory” in a computer, RAM (Random Access memory) and drive storage.
User upgradability is not a strength of Apple products. But Thunderbolt can also be used to connect additional monitors, as well as cameras, audio and video recording devices. With a maximum I/O speed of 10Gbps (theoretically twice the speed of USB 3.0) the Thunderbolt ports are designed to transfer large images and videos. The iMac includes two Thunderbolt ports, connectivity interface PC vendors have been slow to adopt. We would have liked to see the Fusion drive included as standard.Īpple has squeezed in four USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader and Gigabit Ethernet onto the slim-line chassis. This is the same as the 2012 models and we expected more, especially considering the 1600 price point.Īpple's Fusion drive, which combines the conventional hard drive with a 128GB solid-state module is only available as a build-to-order option adding 160.
Both models ship with 8GB of memory and 1TB hard drive.
