Selling the 2017 iMac 5K and Buying the 2019 iMac 5K — Compelling Performance Gains for My Work, Plus 128GB Memory
As shown in my review of the 2019 iMac 5K, performance of the 2019 iMac 5K is so compelling for my uses that I have sold my 2017 iMac 5K and some other gear to fund the purchase (my budget otherwise is bare bones at best).
The 128GB memory will solve a longstanding slowdown issue for me.
This is the ideal machine along with 64GB to 128GB of OWC memory:
Apple iMac 5K 3.6 GHz / 8GB / 2TB / Vega 48
- 3.6 GHz Intel Core i9 Eight-Core
- 8GB of DDR4 RAM (add up to 128GB OWC memory)
- 2TB PCIe SSD
- AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 GPU (8GB)
