I still use this computer for my music production works, I have upgraded it's spinning drive to SSD upgraded the RAM to 32GB and left the CPU as is (i5 7600) I have no problems whatsoever working with VSTs and other audio processing plugins till now. My DAW is Nuendo 12.

I just picked one of these up 3.4GHz i5, 16GB of RAM, 1TB drive runing Ventura for $425. Considering its hard to find a good 4k display for much less than that and this has a 5k display with a nice computer thrown in I think I did well.

Still using mine from late 2017. Working well no issues. Did upgrade the RAM. Took care of it and kept it clean. Runs Adobe Creative Suite no Problem. Great Machine!

How do you have the folders on the left side of the screen please, I have the 2019 i9 27” and it’s still stunning 👍👍👍👍 many thanks for the video.

I've been using one of its little brothers for five years; 21.5" 2017 Retina 4K. And though it has a tic that I don't like—it's reluctant to boot up sometimes—I'm tossing the dice and upgrading to a 1T SSD and 16 gig memory. Hopefully it'll last me 2-3 years, when I'll get whatever is the new Mac Mini. No more iMacs, however.

It's a great machine even today!! Love mine.

iMacs use curved aluminum and that’s hard to do… like really really hard unless it’s mass scale and custom grain

[chrisbrown]

Great video. One of my favorite iMacs too. When do you think support for Intel will end?

I bouth an late 2013 imac 27inch, im very happy with it, the sound is amazing, screen is amazing, need just an ssd and more ram.. you wont find all in one pcs, that have same quality, just garbage for high prices, so i prefer take an old device with good quality than others in the market, made of cheap plastic

[rdxgraphics]

can i upgrade 2017 imac prosessor from 2.6 to 4 or higher

Thank you, for this fun looking back review of the 5K iMac from 2017. As for myself, I am sure my collection will one day include not this model but, a 27-inch iMac Pro model. Why? Because it has even more ports and also a cool looking "space gray" design (smile...smile).

I’m confused in which one to buy, I found a 2017 3ghz dual core i5 iMac with 8gb of ram for $500, and there is also the new Mac mini m2 8gb ram for $600, im making music that use plugins for effects, which one would be faster and better?

[robertrea]

Any opinion on the Radeon 575 vs the 580?

[eddiel]

Apple should return to user upgrades of RAM, HD and Batteries. It’s very greedy for a company to do this. Also allow repairmen fixing them. Any item like that must be repairable by others than Apple Stores. Repairs there are extremely high.

[TrentG]

Just picked one of for $250, it's a no brainer.

My 2012 iMac just shit the bed 😢… was a sad day !

They discontinued this model with the Sonoma MacOS :(

[_blackbillgates]

Great review. Quick question, I’m thinking to buy one of these
1. 2017 iMac 16RAM 250nvme + 250 ssd sata intel iris graphic plus, i5
2. 2019 iMac 8Ram 256gb SSD radeon 560 4GB, i5

Which one should I get?

[stevejohnson]

I run Ubuntu on my 2010, because it doesn't care that apple phased out Intel.
