Questions & Answers

The easiest way I found to do this was to use my Seagate backup drive. It's the second time this week!

Could this computer be used to play games with its SSD?

Though gaming is not a common usage of macs or Imacs. mac is very fast, however I would maybe choose the 512 GB version and then add some more RAM after the purchase. OWC offers good and cheaper modules for this than if you bought them at the time of purchase.

Selected User Reviews For 2020 Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display (27-inch, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage)

Apple iMac 3 is slated for release in 2020
5/5

It is a great machine with an 8 GHz i7 CPU and an 8 Core processor. There is only one drawback. A maximum of 8GB of memory is included with the device. At a minimum, I'd recommend 16GB of RAM, although the cost of memory is quite affordable, so there is no need not to add My memory order from Amazon arrived with the iMac before I did so I had something to work with. A 64GB upgrade costs only two 32GB cards, so I ordered two 64GB cards (2x32) to meet my needs. The entire process took about three I recommend that you NOT upgrade the memory on your apple devices I'm certain it will be extremely expensive and difficult too! You can find the scores below for Geekbench 5 A single-parent family Its core is Multi-dimensional - 1344 Its core is In OpenCL 8359* Alloy 41014* Metal 41790

I intend to use my Mac for a mix of music creation, game development, and minimal design/video In general, I am pleased with the product I purchased.

A new 27" iMac is now available. There was a message after the installation and setup that said "low What is the cause of this? Would it be better if I returned.

I really like it! I like this system a lot
5/5

ended up adding a bunch of RAM, which was easy and inexpensive. I use it mostly for Adobe Premier Videos and it does a great job of rendering. It is well worth the price for a reliable machine. I have several Macs and they are solid systems that don't quickly slow down when running heavy.

An old computer broke over 24 solid hours ago, and I spent 24 hours trying to repair it
3/5

As soon as I opened the Music app, it was malfunctioning. If this is the case, my Zoom apps will not work I could only hard crash my way out of the bizarre images displayed by my gaming apps when they froze and created spectacular black screens. My first 45 minutes were spent with Amazon support, then I spent 45 minutes with Apple support for the music issue. I had a series of awkward phone conversations with Apple, most of which resulted in getting a call and hearing no message until the voice said "We're sorry you have not responded. ". There will need to be a rescheduled appointment. It was only after I yelled and screamed, finishing by pushing buttons, that I got a response after trying three and four times. I then set up a time for Apple to call me. I never received a call from them. In the end, I spent an hour on the phone with the very nice and patient Apple technician, but ultimately the problem could not be solved. In the course of doing this multiple reloads, restarts, reboots, and reinstalls were performed The process of imaging and re-imaging This would take up to three hours per window, all of which would take up to an hour each. Despite all this, the system doesn't It appears to be impossible to return the machine here, after spending about $3,000 on it and being disappointed with the outcome. I'm furious and do not even have any idea what to do Adding an addendum The Amazon customer service representative was very helpful in arranging my return. It took me a couple of hours to package the boxing materials, print the special label they sent me and put them all together The package was sent to UPS safely, and I received it within a week. Thanks to Amazon, returning it was not painful at all.

You can get a great deal on an iMac 27"
5/5

The Apple Ecosystem is fully a part of my life since I am a Mac Evangelist. I bought the 512 SSD version with an i5 chip at an incredibly low price and then earned another $60 off by purchasing an Amazon Direct gift card. For me, it was all about securing the lowest price for This laptop is faster than our 2017 iMac 21 and is a big hit with my special needs son. This computer comes with a hard drive that does not fit into 5". The graphics and speed are excellent, but I will admit that the 27" screen is huge and the picture is excellent, which I am not used to because I normally have my MacBook Air 13". ".

Definitely an iMac to be admired
5/5

The 2013 iMac that I have been using for music production has been very good to me for several years. While the Mac runs fine with no problems at all (just sold it now), when I discovered the new iMacs were out I decided to get one to take advantage of the extra power and to use plugins in the DAW faster. The Ram I ordered from Amazon was increased once I received it from Amazon. I had a very disappointing first experience with Samsung RAM when it did not work no matter what configuration I chose. In response, I returned the old RAM and bought Timetec Hynix RAM that worked on the very first attempt. I use recording studio software Logic Pro X and the plugins I use with the new iMac and I haven't noticed any glitches at all. A iMac with an Intel processor was the best choice because I planned on using Bootcamp to install Windows and run both platforms in one computer. The installation went smoothly and no problems using programs in each operating system were encountered. The extra power it provides and its smooth operation appeal to me. bought an Intel Core I7 CPU, and I'm very happy with it! There are some people who want to wait for a redesign, but I liked the way the design looked so that wasn't a deal breaker to As for keeping it cool, I bought a software fan program, and it works reasonably well. It is exactly what I wanted and I am glad I purchased it. It is great to have such a seamless buying experience through Amazon and Apple.
