I want to change my iMac 2017 to 2020. Is the user experience greatly improved?

    I don't think it has changed much. Why don't you wait for the 27-inch iMac with m chip?

    @ Anonymous9868 to use intel

    I think the improvement is quite big, after all, the original poster is still using 2 TB Fusion Drive

    Can I replace the hard drive myself? In fact, just replace it with a 1T SSD

    The improvement is obvious when Fusion Drive is replaced with SSD but You can directly install the system in the SSD mobile hard disk, which can significantly improve the user experience, so the significance of changing the machine is not as great as you think Adding memory will also improve the user experience You can replace it without spending money, but it's not worth spending money to buy a new one

    Fusion Drive to ssd boost is huge However, first, it's almost time to wait for arm's iMac, and second, this improvement can be achieved through external ssd

    You can replace the 2020 memory yourself, and buy the 8G one for the original one. The overall experience of this computer is so-so. After starting the game, the fan takes off. Don't wait?

    You can disassemble the machine and directly replace it with a built-in SSD, which has the greatest improvement

    It is not certain whether the use promotion is large or not. The fever must be huge. The calorific value of the 10th generation i7 is horrible. After all, there are eight cores stuffed in the 14nm package. It is difficult to press the Owl d15s for desktop computers. Don't talk about the iMac. Then after the heat is reduced, you will find that it may not be as good as the 7th generation quad-core i7.

    @ Anonymous4519 Ah, let's do this

    @ Poster The temperature is quite high, and it is basically around 65 degrees Celsius for daily use. At this time, the fan sound is basically inaudible, but if you open a game a little, then the fan can't stop.. Let's change it to ssd, and then add a memory

    @ Poster just occasionally wow everyday or something.. Serious game pc sometimes I use imac if I don't want to open it

    If they are all intel and you change them like this, I guess there won't be much difference. If you want to change it, just change it to M1
