Got it!!! Wow, nice machine... Got all my software back on it, data copied and currently importing my music in iTune and my pictures in iPhoto.

Quite fast, and with 24Gb of ram, it's enough! :D Love the Fusion drive, feels almost like pure SSD.

:-P

Congrats... Nice machine.. my brother has one but he's about 30 mins away from my place. I am with Windows systems for now. Hopefully, I get either iMac or Mac Mini. I will see when time gets closer.

You can't upgrade the memory of the 21.5" iMac (well, not without destroying everything!!!), but there is a back door on the 27" iMac, so it's easy.

It's performing quite well, can do everything at the same time without any slowdown. Did not see the spinning beach ball yet!!!

Yeah, on the 21 you need to take the LCD off, and slot it into the back of the MLB. It's doable, but a PITA.

Was the memory upgrade easy to perform? I thought these new iMacs were pretty difficult to pull apart?

With the 27-inch model when you can remove the power cord, press a hidden button and a small backdoor will pop open giving you access to the four memory slots. There's a picture of the backdoor in my review:

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
