Michal Ždanský Already in earlier article we criticized the fact that, for inexplicable reasons, Fusion Drive was not available for the cheapest variant of the 21,5″ iMac, and we were not the only ones. Whether it was due to user pressure or not, Apple today started offering a "fusion drive", consisting of a classic disk and an SSD, even in the lowest configuration of the latest generation of iMac computers.
This eliminated the need to pay extra for a higher model if the customer wanted this smart data layering solution. If you plan to buy an iMac and use the Fusion Drive solution at the same time, thanks to today's change you can buy it from CZK 41 including the second 277 GB SSD drive that this solution enables. The offer is also available on the Czech Apple Online Store.
I would also like to give it a mac mini basic version :)
does he have it or not?
I wanted to buy a new iMac, but this very thing put me off.
Now I have a decent desktop for a fraction of the price though W7 but it works. I would try a 2x overpriced SSD, but 4x overpriced RAM is too much for me (mainly). The difference in the price of 2x4GB vs 2x8GB is 50 euros and not 200 euros (and I'm exaggerating).
For a fraction of the price, a decent PC with Win 7 = definitely a puzzle, and can't you "simply" change (buy) RAM for a fraction of the price? What do you want to do on that computer if you can't master such a trivial matter.
Since Apple switched to the Intel platform, the components are the same. Well, try changing the RAM in the smaller iMac. Only the older version has support for it.
Go back to the beginning of your first post, where you mentioned buying a new iMac. The new iMac has a simple replacement of the frames, just like my Mac mini, which I already knew before buying that this would happen. You write that it discouraged you from buying an iMac and yet you couldn't solve such a trivial matter...
You didn't understand me. I was put off by what the article is about. Fusion drive was not for the basic iMac model. You had to pay a few hundred euros extra for a higher model and another few euros for a fusion drive.
I repeat, the RAM in the current 21.5-inch model cannot be changed just like that. read this

Even the LCD, unlike the previous one, is already glued. If this is trivial for you, I'll make it up, so that's ok. Certainly not for me, and I put together a couple of classic PCs.
You're absolutely right, I haven't looked at the current version of the iMac, where it's not easy to replace the ram, as it was in the previous version and in the new version of the Mac mini. I apologize and take it back.
