  • We had to do some digging and actually remove the logic board from the iMac. We don't like work. Work is hard. But the reward was certainly worth the effort.

  • Our base-model 21.5" iMac now features an empty PCIe SSD slot, ready and waiting for eager money-saving DIY upgraders everywhere.

  • This is a pleasant surprise compared to last year, when we were left sorely disappointed by unpopulated solder pads on our low-end 21.5's logic board.
