Rating: 5/5 Hard drive upgrade on Late 2015 21.5 in. iMac July 17, 2021 Using OWC's tutorial the kit worked as advertised to remove the iMac display, and to re-install it after upgrading the hard drive to a SSD model.

Rating: 5/5 Great kit! April 30, 2021 I needed to replace the hard drive in my 2017 21.5" iMac and so this kit helped me do this.

My only suggestion is it would be great if OWC could provide a different servicing kit that didn't have the tool kit or the suction cups (I really only needed the display separator and display tape). I had already purchased the tool kit and suction cups several years ago from OWC to service my 2012 iMac, but I determined that if I bought the separator tool and tape separately, the cost difference was only a few dollars, so I got the kit, but I really don't need two tool kits and four suction cups. I am sure there must be many people like me who already have the tool kit and suction cups, and a kit with the display separator and tape for something in the range of $12 would be wonderful!

Rating: 5/5 My iMac is Now Better Than New September 2, 2020 Upgraded RAM and Hard Drive on my 2017 20.5" iMac. It is *very* nice wiht 32GB of RAM and a new 1TB OWC SSD HDD. So pleased. This kit and the AWC video made a scary process step-by-step easy with very clear instructions. It even walked me through re-assembly so I use the right screws in the right places.

Rating: 5/5 A long strange trip with a happy ending February 12, 2019 My newish 2017 21.5-in iMac with 8gbs of RAM was running pathetically slow, especially running photoshop and Lightroom for photo editing. I learned to my dismay that the Apple Store would not undertake to update the RAM because (as I was learning) you have to remove the screen and seriously dissect the machine to get to the RAM slots. I contracted with a local fixit guy to do the job and he directed me to this site to order the RAM-- which I did. Long story short, he backed out of the job and the guy he recommended refused the task too. So, I viewed and reviewed the videos on this site and decided to give it a shot.

The kit arrived and the dissection began. But for a small issue removing some of the tiny phillips screws, the process was pretty straight forward to follow. The videos are indispensable and were constantly running on my MacBook as the job progressed, step by step. Honestly, from start to finish it took over 3 hours. But it was worth it! I upgraded from 8gbs to 32gbs. The machine is screaming fast now!

Rating: 5/5 It's easier than you think December 27, 2017 My big concern when starting this project was removing the screen - I've been inside many computers before and built my own PCs so the internal part was not a concern. (If you are unsure about the stuff inside the computer, watch the videos - they're really good..) I was really worried about cracking the screen. The tool included in the kit for cutting the adhesive tape works amazingly well. (It looks kind of like a mini pizza wheel.) It sliced through the double sided tape with ease and the screen came off easily without any problems. Upgrading an old (late 2012) iMac to an SSD was definitely worth it!

Rating: 4/5 Nice kit, but can be improved November 9, 2017 The kit itself is very good quality. The ncluded screwdrivers and suction cups are fully up to the task of opening up an iMac.

I would've liked to see a couple of small changes. The adhesive slicer tool (sort of like a pizza slicer with a smaller wheel), even according to the videos that shows its use, can only be used as a push to cut manner. This needs to be changed so that it can be used in both directions, as I like to first push, then pull, multiple times to make sure the adhesive strips are properly cut, considering that if the strips are not cut completely, there is a chance of cracking the screen when attempting to remove the screen with the suction cups.

Also, identification of the supplied adhesive strips before the bag is opened would be good, as would better instructions in the box with the adhesive strips.

Rating: 5/5 This website is awesome. April 11, 2017 I was at the point to get rid off my iMac because apple couldn't repair it because it's considered "old". My HDD on the Mac was shoot and I was very disappointed that I maybe need to drop 500 to 900 to get it fixed . I googled about switching the HDD and I came to see OWC. I check the website and never looked else where. They have a well established website that directs you to the right upgrades for the right system. They also have a tutorial video to show you step by step on how to make the switch. I was scared but these guys gave me the confidence that I needed and now my iMac is like brand new. I will be back for more upgrades.

Rating: 4/5 Quick and Awesome January 25, 2017 The kit was deliver very fast and I was working on updating my memory on my iMac in no-time. I'm glad a place like this exist. I saved over $100.00 with MacSales. I'm also glad that there is a tutorial video for switching the memory on the computer. The only detail about all this is that, now, after switching the memory in my computer, I do not know what to do with this kit... I don't think I will open the computer again, that was a big challenge. What about the old memory? Somebody wants it? I don't know. Anyway, other than those two details, the product, delivery and reliability of MacSales beat all the expectations.
