Review on 27" Apple iMac All-in-One (Retina 5K, Mid 2017) MNE92RU/A, 5120x2880, Intel Core i5 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, AMD Radeon Pro 570, MacOS, Silver by Adam Woniak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

Great monobloc! One of the only drawbacks of the basic package is that the fusion drive is somewhat slow. You will need to replace your primary boot drive with an external Samsung X5 solid-state drive (SSD) that has a connector that is compatible with Thunderbolt 3. Read and write speeds will increase to 1700/2400 per second. I also suggest increasing the amount of RAM to forty gigabytes (plus thirty-two gigabytes divided into two bars of sixteen each). The monitor is large, the display is crisp and bright, there is a high resolution, and the sound quality is satisfactory. Con: There is no option to upgrade the system without voiding the warranty (by switching out the internal fusion drive for an SSD). This is a drawback. The rear of the casing features a monoblock arrangement of ports.
