Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This iMac was purchased for my 8 year old daughter to enhance her technological abilities through the fundamentals provided by Apple. Being introduced to iPhone, I wanted her advancement to further extend to this device by including her in a storybook we’ll be collaborating on in Pages. I don’t live with her, but she tells me she loves it and I got to see her in action for the initial setup.

Perfect computer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always wanted an iMac and this was my first Mac purchase ever. The unboxing experience itself was so satisfying and felt so smooth. The Mac has been running very well and it sounds and loads amazing! I’m finally able to play on high graphics and have multiple windows open without getting overloaded. Took a bit getting used to as I have mainly used windows products before but I have found the experience quite satisfying and I can’t seem to get away from my desk and Mac sometimes.

Q: QuestionIs this machine able to upgrade to more memory? If so what are the specs to purchase more memory?
Asked by Mindy.
- A:Answer You cannot upgrade the memory (RAM) and storage. Buy the system that has the right amount of memory and storage for yourself up-front. In the worst case scenario, at least in regards to storage, you can get an external hard drive if you run out of space but with memory, there are no work-arounds. With that said, 8 GB of memory (RAM) is enough for many users. If you are doing word processing/web browsing/typical day to day work on a computer, 8 GB is plenty. But if you are doing more advanced/demanding tasks, like photo/video editing, then I would recommend 16 GB of RAM. As for storage, see how much of your computer's storage you are using now. Will you be storing lots of media, like photos and videos? In that case, buy a model with more storage up front or if you can't afford that right now, buy an external hard drive later on when you run out of space and really need it. Hope that helps.
