Upgrade Tips
-
SSD Upgrade: Replace HDD with a 1 TB or larger SSD—or better, a 256 GB/1 TB SSD + external SSD combo. A Fusion Drive is a solid middle ground .
-
RAM Upgrade: It’s not user‑installable. If you need more than 8 GB for video editing or multitasking, aim for a refurbished iMac with 16 GB already installed or consider external RAM patches (rare and expensive).
-
Processor Swap: Enthusiast-level upgrades are possible (e.g., i9 + 64 GB RAM + NVMe SSD), but they require skilled disassembly and parts
