Breath of new live into an aging iMac
April 26, 2016
Overall, this kit works exactly as advertised. The performance of the SSD is great, and the retaining bracket works really well. I did not require the suction cups for the LCD display, I was able to lift it out from the corners, but I think they would have some value in other models. The plastic "spudger" piece could have been constructed with a more durable plastic. The screwdrivers worked quite well and will use them again. I would recommend this item to a friend!
