- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 7th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Q: Can I upgrade the memory to 32GB?
A: Yes. The maximum amount of RAM this machine can support is 64 GB.
A: BB will do it but for a fee. I called Apple and they told me how to do it. They will walk you through it and for free. You have 90 days of AppleCare. I purchased it for 3 years for $169. Hope this helps.
Q: Does this computer have a built in disk drive
A: No. You need to buy the Apple USB Super Drive - $79.
Q: Can I order this iMac with the optional i7 processor?
A: At the time I bought my iMAC, I was looking for the i7, also. Best Buy only stocked the i5 and I would have had to go to Apple, which wasn't convenient. For what I do as an artist, i5 is plenty, which is a delightful surprise. I'm keeping it! Hope this helps.
A: The 2TB Fusion drive is a 128GB SSD combined with an ~ 1.85TB Spinning hard drive. Apple uses software to put most of the operating system as well as your most commonly used files onto the SSD portion for fast retrieval. PLEASE NOTE: The 1TB fusion drive only has 24GB SSD which is why I am in the process of taking my 1TB iMac back to bestbuy to swap for this model with the 2TB fusion drive.
A: It does not have an HDMI connection. I used a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to HDMI adapter to connect a second monitor and it works great. The connections are on the back side of the unit so they can be a little bit of a pain to plug and unplug.
A: It will work out of the box, but to max out ram to 64 gigs, self installed ( which is easy) your looking at about $200. Remember macs ultilize Ram much differently then a PC. It’s like a hybrid car vs a gas car, the Mac optimizes the ram, little goes a long way. I’m running 8 gigs, and am using some power heavy software such as photoshop and premiere.
