Thanks all. Sorry, to me "mac" is synonymous with the desktop machine.
I'm after the 21.5", 2.7GHz iMac.
Sounds like the 8Gb RAM (yes RAM and Gb not Mb, sorry again) would be ok?
8GB of RAM is plenty for that type of work. You could easily get away with 4GB in this instance as well. Office, music and simple games aren't demanding in the slightest.Thank you. The mac will be used for MS Office work for my employer and also browsing, music and simple games. The work element will be mostly very large speadsheets incl. the use of macros, databases, etc.
Cheers.
Much cheaper to buy aftermarket and install DIY.Man this is tricky! On th UK Apple site it's GBP160.00 to upgrade to 8Gb and a further GBP320.00 to go to 16Gb.
Agreed. Here are instructions for changing the RAM yourself. You'll find the money saved is worth the (short amount of) time changing the memory yourself.Much cheaper to buy aftermarket and install DIY.
Would upgrading RAM kill the warranty on the computer though, if it's new or has applecare? That is modifying the system...
Are they easy to open? They look pretty solid!
