    Buying a used iMac

    I'm looking at buying a second hand iMac but I'd like some more tech savvy opinions to help me decide. Uses - I work in design, so it will be mainly used for Adobe programs (photoshop, illustrator, etc). Nothing as big as rendering or video, but still heavier applications. I've found a lightly...

    Explain this activity monitor screenshot

    Hey everyone. I grabbed this screenshot a couple months ago from my 2011 iMac running macOS Sierra. In the minutes leading up to the screenshot the computer was almost completely frozen, so I opened up the activity monitor, but the CPU load was relatively low.. I then switched to the memory tab...

    CPU temps – 27 in vs 21.5

    I've done a lot of reading about how on the 27in iMac, the 4.2 Ghz i7 version runs hot and spins up the fan, while the 3.8 Ghz i5 version seems to run cooler. I was wondering if the 21.5 in iMac with the 3.6 Ghz i7 runs hot or not? Does anyone have any CPU temps to share? I was basically...

    Space Grey regular iMac

    Hi All! I just upgraded my silver iMac's keyboard and mouse to the space gray keyboard and mouse (the old keyboard I had died so reasonable excuse). I'm wondering how many folks would pick a space gray iMac over the silver if it was available on the non-pro version. I know I would.

    iMac Wherefore Art Thou?

    I'm so frustrated. I'm looking to buy a new mac. Believe it or not, I'm still keeping a late 2008 MacPro alive and I was waiting for a decent upgrade to the 2013 tower before I committed the funds. I really like towers for their upgradeability as evidenced by my current Frankenmachine. The...

    Looking to add more RAM to my late 2014 8gb iMac...which configuration would be better?

    This might be a really dumb question but will it make a big difference if I add 16gb (8gb x 2) to the empty two slots on my iMac or would it be just as fast adding 8gb (4gb x 2)? I hear different things about RAM and I have heard in some situations if you have different size RAM there is not a...
