2007 iMac logic board upgrade
Hi, I have a mid-2007 24” iMac that I got for free (same for a early-2008 21.5” (which might be a 20”, not sure since I don’t have it with me)).

When will we see an iMac refresh and what to expect?
I’m looking to swap my current iMac (late 2014) with a brand new one. There’s been a lot of updates and improvements since I got mine, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a new one. But since the last refresh was in March 2019, it doesn’t seem like the right time to invest (yet), so I was hoping... -

I managed to sell my XS MAX on eBay for $900, so I rationalized the... -
