The Best iMac for 2017

My current iMac was purchased February 22, 2014. It was a 27-inch iMac with a 3.5GHz quad-core i7, 3TB Fusion Drive and 32GB of memory along with a 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M graphics processor. That machine set me back around $4,000 taxes included. And it seemed very expensive to me back then.

To get a new top of the line iMac would cost me about $5,700 taxes included if I were to buy one today. Granted, it comes with a stunning 5K display, a faster processor and a beefed up graphics card. But wow, nearly 6 grand? For a computer?

Fortunately I do not have a need to upgrade. The current iMac is doing great.

Snazzy Labs decided to take a bit of a sting out of getting a top of the line iMac in 2017. Interesting video, especially the disassembly. I did not think that it was possible to upgrade the CPU.
