Cheap iMac torn-down, memory still not upgradeable

Users who purchase the system will be left stuck with the 8 GB of RAM that the device ships with as the RAM is soldered onto the logic board and cannot be swapped out for higher capacity modules.</p> <!--break--> <p>Additionally, users who opt for this model cannot choose a build-to-order option with more memory. If you want more memory beyond the 8 GB, you would have to choose the next iMac (http://www.imore.com/imac) model up. That model starts at $1,299 with the same amount of RAM but with better hardware specs. Choosing to increase the RAM on a build-to-order option on that model will take you to 16 GB for $1,499.</p> <p>Does this fact make the cheaper iMac less appealing to you?</p> <p>Source: Mac Sales (http://blog.macsales.com/25084-teardown-of-lower-cost-2014-imac-reveals-memory-not-user-upgradable)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25227"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3ba595b0/sc/28/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
