	[title] Final Thoughts
	[* black] iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2017 Repairability Score: *3 out of 10* (10 is easiest to repair)
	[* green] The CPU and RAM—two of the components you are most likely to upgrade at some point—are both modular.
-	[* yellow] The standard 3.5" SATA hard drive is fully upgradable—though you can't add a blade SSD thanks to an empty pad on the logic board.
+	[* yellow] The standard 2.5" SATA hard drive is fully upgradable—though you can't add a blade SSD thanks to an empty pad on the logic board.
	[* yellow] Cutting the tape to open the iMac isn't too hard (with the right tools), but it must then be replaced to complete any repair.
	[* red] Most replaceable components (like the RAM) are buried behind the logic board, meaning you'll have to take apart most of the iMac just to gain access to them.
	[* red] The glass and Retina Display are fused together, increasing the cost of replacement.
