    Do I have a repaired imac?

    Hi, I just bought a refurbished imac which is supposed to be a 27 inch late 2011 model with 3.4 GHz i7. But the GPU, a Radeon 4850, does not look like from 2011 imac. How do I find out if this is a repaired unit or not? Serial number lookup shows it as a 2011 model. Please help!

    With NVIDIA releasing their 3000 line of cards just a few days ago and AMD supposedly releasing their Big Navi RDNA2 chips later this year, I was wondering if Apple will refresh the GPU option on the iMac 2020 one last time. Apple has done such a move before in the past with the iMac Pro. On...
