Evening all, I could do with some advice on purchasing a refurbished iMac for work! Cut a long story short, my 21.5" 2017 1TB Fusion iMac at work is being replaced as it was damaged whilst my classroom was being refurbished (couldn't have happened at a better time). For context, I'm a music...

wondering if anyone has experience and would recommend or not upgrading to Monterey. With enough updates, I assume it's stable, bugs worked out even for older machines. I'm impatiently waiting for the new iMacs to come as 27" (maybe announced during the spring...

Hello, I have an iMac 27 inch from 2017. It's the 3,5 Ghz model with 40GBs of RAM and a 1TB SSD. I am running Mojave and the computer is very fast on that system. Does anyone have experience with Big Sur running on this computer? I have often noticed how new systems generally slow down the...

I have a 2017 iMac 5K base model that I've purchase used 1 year ago. I wanted to use it without opening the screen, however, because it is equipped with an HDD it is super slow and drives me crazy. It would be ideal if I could upgrade both NVME and HDD to SDD, but it seems like the price of SATA...

Since I've upgraded my iMac 27" 2017 to Samsung 860 PRO 1 TB SATA along with OWC in-Line Digital Thermal Sensor, I keep hearing like similar to helicopter blades sounds. I've attached a video of the noise experienced. Apologies of the clock ticking in the background ? Thank you in advance

I have this older external 2TB Hard drive that has been connected to my older iMac (It runs on Sierra) for a few years. No problems at all. I figured I would move this external to my newer 2017 iMac (runs on Mojave), but this just seems to completely freeze up the computer, it won't even...

A friend of mine is looking to buy the current 27 inch iMac (2017) with a 4.2GHz quad-core i7, and he asked me if I thought it was a good time to buy the machine. Since I haven't been in the market to replace my current iMac (I'm waiting to see the 2019 Mac Pro), I haven't been following the...

How can I connect my old Apple Thunderbolt display to my iMac 5k 2017 USB-C ? Do I need the very expensive Apple adapter or there is some competition around? I looked around but couldn't find any so far, a lot of mini-display connectors but I'm not sure it will work with my Thunderbolt Display...

Hi I am new to the forum as was not sure who to ask for quality advice, hopefully someone can help me out. I have a macbook pro currently and love it, however, I have since bought a Gopro 7, so instead of editing 1080 footage and being just about OK, 4k has completely battered my machine. I...

Hello everyone. I’m hoping someone with something of a better Mac knowledge/experience base than mine can advise me. I’m thinking of getting a 27” iMac (maybe a MBP as an outside bet if anyone thinks that mat be a good option) but wondering as to which of the models available would offer the...

I've been in the market for a new iMac for the past 3 years. I currently have a 2008 24in iMac. I do believe that it's time to upgrade. Since 2008 i've gained a hobby of photography, now i'm starting to dabble in videography. With the photography, I shoot for clients and plan on doing more...
