    Imac 2014 vs Imac 2019

    I recently bought a cheap iMac 27in 2014(late) model with 32 GB RAM and 3 TB HD. I was wondering if it is better than the current one that I'm using which is an Imac 21.5in 2019 model with 8 GB RAM, and 256GB SSD.

    I'm stumped by this problem with a friends iMac (Big Sur on a Retina 5K, 27", Late 2014 with a 2TB fusion drive and the R9 M290X 2GB GPU).

    iMac 27" late 2014 trade-in questions

    Has anyone done a trade-in with an iMac? Did it go well? I have a late 2014 model and right away I have a question about it. My internal drive is a 3.12 TB fusion drive. That is the default drive it came with. However, when I go to Apple's trade-in process it tells me that this is my iMac: iMac...

    iMac won't boot from external SSD after Big Sur installation

    After the Fusion Drive in my iMac (Late 2014) began to slow down, I installed Catalina on an external SSD which booted flawlessly until Big Sur. Repeated attempts to install Big Sur on the external SSD (which was erased) resulted in error messages. I called Apple Support and was told that...

    I've never traded-in a Mac. Usually they die or go to a family member. However this time around, I want to trade-in my late 2014 iMac towards a Mac Mini. I know the process involves them sending me a shipping label & supplies to ship it out. Has anyone done this? Estimated time to get those...

    So I've been roaming these forums more often recently, due to my late 2014 iMac 5K (27-inch, maxed RAM, i7) overheating + being interested in the 2018 Mac Mini.

    2018 Mac Mini & Twitch?

    I've made threads elsewhere on MacRumors asking about the Mac Mini about if I should invest in it or wait to see what the Mac Pro has to offer. Pretty much decided I should just get the Mac Mini. Question is though, my current desktop is a late 2014 iMac 5K with 32 GB RAM. Can't recall other...

    Looking for ideas on how to fix my iMac, it's a 5k 2014 that will no longer boot. It all started one morning when I'd put it to sleep the evening before, when trying to wake it, nothing happened, and the power button did nothing too. Randomly managed to get it to boot later that day, would...
