I also bought the 21.5” iMac earlier this year, planning to increase the memory myself. I found you could do that on the 27” iMacs, but on the 21.5” iMacs. I returned mine for full credit via Apple’s 14-dayreturn policy and ordered the 21.5” iMac with 32 GB already installed. It wasn’t cheap and took a couple of weeks to get it, but I have no regrets.


Depending on how much RAM you want up front, sometimes the 27" iMac plus third party RAM can be less costly than the 21.5" iMac with Apple RAM.

Thanks...I think I might just have the courage to do that...

Watch the video on OWC’s website. It takes about two minutes to change the memory. The video is a little longer!

Seriously, an 8-year-old could do it.

My wife says I'm really a five year old! But thanks...I am going to go that route once I get the machine.

Would you consider one of the new Mac Minis? Power, ports and expandability galore! You will have to provide your own monitor, mouse and keyboard, but Apple charges a premium for add-ons anyway.

I second this – there are great 4K monitors out there to go with a Mac Mini
