After receiving the new Apple MacBook Air with the M1 chip on Tuesday, we filmed the unboxing (coming soon). However, we held off shooting the teardown video for fear that the Auto-On feature would trigger a bricking of the machine...
There's no doubt about it. As we noted in an earlier post, Apple's new 27-inch iMac 5K for 2020 is a beast of a machine. With 10-core availability, all Solid State Drives, True Tone Retina display with a nano-texture glass option, faster GPU, T2 chip security, and up to 128 GB of RAM, you may finally be ready to make the leap into a new machine. It's completely understandable. But before you do, do yourself a favor and consider the one thing that is still user-upgradable after your purchase: the memory.
Yesterday, August 5, 2020, Apple made a major update to the 27-inch iMac -- probably the last update that the venerable big-screen Mac will receive in its current incarnation.

Apple has been steadily moving away from products that users can upgrade themselves. This has been especially true with its lineup of MacBooks – they have been working to make them thinner, lighter, and more compact for years. In fact, parts have been soldered directly to the board in MacBook Pros since 2012. But since we have seen Apple once again implement user-accessible options in the new 2019 Mac Pro, might we get lucky with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro and a return to the glory days of DIY?
