When you buy the new machine you can request 64GB RAM on the 27in iMac as a build to order option. We now have all the details on the brand new high-end hardware, which comes with a unique modular design and some powerful internal specs and goes on sale December 10. OSNews managing editor Thom Holwerda believes the project actually. You may not need to upgrade your RAM though. Apple said the modular Mac Pro won’t be available in 2017, but didn’t explicitly promise the new machine would be ready next year. (The RAM on the 21-inch iMac is also upgradable although it is less accessible than that in the 27-inch Mac, however, and more of a service job). It’s not just the processor that is upgradable – you can also upgrade the RAM through a hatch in the back, although this has been the case previously. The main features that would benefit both our and our user’s work with the new Mac Pro are a quick connection of several Mac Pros and simultaneous work of several users.
#MODULAR MAC PRO 2017 UPDATE#
And in our own briefing on the new iMacs Apple did emphasise its drive to make sure the Mac met the demands of users years down the line, since users don’t update very frequently. Indeed Apple has confirmed that the new Mac Pro, when it launches in 2018, will be modular. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75. This could indicate that Apple is finally listening to users who have been calling for more upgradable machines for years. Testing conducted by Apple in May 2017 using preproduction 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. During its teardown of the 21-inch model iFixit found that the processor, while hidden and awkward to reach is user upgradable.
