But seriously how the fuck do they get away with this?

27" iMacs have user upgradable RAM

In all seriousness, the 27" iMacs have a door in the back that you can open with no tools that gives you direct access to the RAM modules.

With this in mind this is a genious business strategy. Nothing feels better than ripping of retards who cant open it up and place a stick of ram in

On the bright side 1TB of DDR4 2400 only costs £12,575.84 from Crucial

>>55733402
fuck, you can buy 16gb DDR4 2133mhz for £50-60
it might be basic RAM but it does the job.

>>55733746
yeah, and you can install it yourself just fine

>>55733762

Generally in the non-upgradeable models, all pads are occupied. So if it's 4GB it'll be two 2GB ICs soldered in. 8GB, 2x 4GB. So no, there'll never be an unoccupied pad.

However it is technically possible to desolder and solder your own. However, where are you going to source the ICs?

Most companies have been practicing this for decades. Apple has the largest margins by far though for RAM (and a lot of other things).
