Let's face it the iMac uses a mobile gpu, so-dimm RAM, non-upgradable parts and an under clocked CPU. It's basically a non-portable laptop. You're better off getting a MacBook pro and an external display. At least then you know where you stand.

Yes, and? What were you expecting for an AIO such as the iMac?Let's face it the iMac uses a mobile gpu
A moot point, what does it matter? It's fast enough, cheap enough and you can put plenty in there.so-dimm RAM
Except for the RAM, HDD, CPU, ODD and GPU. Really, the main thing that will stop you from upgrading the components is the fact that you can't change the logic board. Admittedly there's not a lot of point upgrading the CPU or GPU but it's still possible. There's that thing with fans maxing out after a HDD change in 2011 iMacs, so I'll give you that, everything still works though. I've never understood the 'fear' of taking off the glass panel and screen out, just be careful and you'll be finenon-upgradable parts
This is just straight out wrong.and an under clocked CPU.
It's basically an all-in-one desktop with a mobile GPU and mobile RAM, no surprises here.It's basically a non-portable laptop. You're better off getting a MacBook pro and an external display. At least then you know where you stand.
Troll....or someone trying to justify the portability premium they paid on their MBP.![]()
Portability premium? I have the latest 13" Macbook Pro, Mac Mini and a Thunderbolt Display; it's quite nice to be able to share the screens between two Macs if needed.Troll....or someone trying to justify the portability premium they paid on their MBP.![]()
You know ? Come to think of it. I have seen a lot of people carrying them into Starbucks.

Sounds like the iMac isn't for you
However, it is an excellent choice for many, many folks
15" MacBook Pro w/ 500 GB HD = $1799
27" Thunderbolt Display = $999
Total Cost = $2,798
27" iMac w/ 1 TB HD = $1,699
Hmmmm, seems like a no brainer to me
$1100 premium for the ability to take it with you wherever you want, I think that's worth it...
I carry my eMac into McDonalds, today's iMacs are nothing.![]()
You need one of two special power extension accessories. The home version is the best except for it is 3 miles (4.82km) in length and takes up the entire trunk (boot) of your car.
The auto version is not bad at only 100 yards (91.4 meters) but it requires that you leave your car running.
Those outlets in Starbucks go fast.
For some I suppose, sure. But there are those of us who to which $1100 is more then a month's pay. I'll take an iMac, thank you.$1100 premium for the ability to take it with you wherever you want, I think that's worth it...
