[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1807481, member: 46727"] It appears we won't see an upgrade to the iMac until next year or perhaps even later. And there is always a chance that Apple will lock down the 27" models the same way they have with the 21.5" models. In other words, no user upgradeable memory. The new iMac Pro (very expensive) is not memory upgradeable by the user, and the newest Mac Mini requires disassembly to upgrade the memory. If you see a discounted bargain on a new 27" iMac, it might be a good time to buy one. Just make sure you buy it from an authorized Apple reseller such as B&H Photo in NY or even Best Buy. B&H in NY has free shipping and they do not charge sales tax for certain out of state sales. You would not have to pay sales tax living in Florida. As far as the choice between an i5 or i7 processor is concerned, unless you're into video editing or number crunching, stick with the i5. The only thing I definitely recommend is ordering the machine with a large enough SSD. Stay away from Fusion Drives. [/QUOTE]
