I just love to watch something I can't afford

I bought the mid range 27" 5k iMac yesterday. It's the best computer I have ever owned or used.

Stunning.

Another usage of Apple Pencil is to open the RAM slot

It's simple: I get a notification and I go to your video.

2:17 *You need to purchase Apple Pencil to upgrade the memory.*

I have the same machine. Just arrived yesterday. I put in 32 GB of RAM from OWC and went with the 1 TB SSD. Blazing fast machine. It replaces an Early 2008 Octo-Core 2.8 Mac Pro and cleans its clock in every way.

Uses a 100$ apple pencil to open the ram hatch

Didn't even get the notification yet



I found it

I'm a simple man. I see DetroitBorg video, I hit like and start watching

I don’t understand how or why people dislike his videos! He literally doesn’t do anything bad and just gives information about the product. I love your videos! Keep up the great work

I went to Mac Donald’s to get an iMac but it wasn’t 5k

I have one almost exactly like this, with the 4.2Gz I7 processor and 2 Tb Fusion Drive, but got it as a refurbished model from Apple in January 2018, and saved big bucks. I run it with 48 Gigs of ram, having added 32 gigs to the 16 Gigs it came with. It is everything you said it was, and I am very pleased with it. If you hook up a true NVMe Thunderbolt 3 SSD drive to it, it reads and writes like a scalded cat. With higher speed drives, the shorter cables typically provided by the manufacturer usually result in higher read/write speeds and more reliable operation of the drive. There is a platform device you can add to the stand of your iMac to hold 2 small external drives with short cables - it is the Twelve South Backpack for iMacs sold by Amazon for about $43.50 plus sales tax, and using it gets rid of the need for longer cables and eliminates the clutter from having external drives & cables stored in the desk area behind your iMac. The platform is made of perforated metal to help keep the SSDs cooler.

I spent so many years chained to a desk that I don't want a desktop computer anymore... In case I need, I'll plug to a bigger screen. Great vid!

This video was so helpful when I was repacking my Mac! Thanks Mike!

[abualzuaree]

I really hope you don't plan on spending $17k on a maxed out iMac pro 😂

In my opinion this was the best looking iMac Apple has ever made. The thin 5mm frame with everything pushed way back where it's not seen was a genius idea, they did the same with MacBook and it makes the whole device look way slimmer and lighter than it is. The new designs after Ive left are just boring plain boxes (iMac and the Apple displays)

[GawdNas]

Mike you lowkey love doing these videos just to pull off the plastic?😂

[Carlostrijk]

Wow well done, I have 5K late 2014 3TB fusion, still running so smootly, !! I am gonna stay with a a while, thanks mr Borg!! great video!

[GregzVR]

I ordered the exact same configuration, mine arrives tomorrow (July 4th 2017). I'm going from a 2012 Retina 15" MBP, to this, lol.
It's gonna be quite a jump in performance for me! 😁

I bought the midrange i5 model at Best Buy. I got 200$ off as someone ordered it on launch day and then left it. I'm very happy with it.
