Massive upgrade for people working at companies whose IT refuses to buy anything but the cheapest model.
In my experience, the companies who always buy the cheapest model tend to avoid Macs entirely. The big place I see the base iMac popping up is at schools.
If it where up to IT everyone would have beefy computers as the most frustrating calls are "My computer is slow."
A friend of mine upgraded his 21 inch one out of the box because Apple RAM pricing and turn around is terrible. However he damaged the screen ribbon cable at the same time. Happens a lot.
I get that it has to be soldered on or whatever, but I'm looking at faster RAM on Newegg right now, in brand names, single module DDR4, for ~115.
I really wanna buy Apple stuff, but stuff like this continually keeps me away when I finally get to the Buy page.
But that doesn't apply to the 27" Mac which has non-soldered slots.
They gave me the laptop when the company went out of business. It was my Plex server until last year.
