How you purchase your iMac that time?

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

My iMac brought in the year 2011, noticed kinda slow

cross my fingers still can last for me many years.

I only wait till completely break down than will buy new one.

recently update to latest OSX so far " seem ok " but noticed lag in Mai will scroll up and down for new mails. etc but overall still working fine.

I remember I personally carry it back take MRT go back home. Perhaps mine is just 21inch so quite ok to personally carry it

I don't know those who get 27 inch how etc

I curious for those next time want to buy imac is wait for complete break down? or if you got extra budget will just get new one? How you carry back or order online via Apple SG website.

Lastly how you all save those reading list aka bookmark to thumb drive as back up? I don't wish to save on thumb drive.

Just need to copy paste all those bookmarks on note than email as back up.

Any one knows how to extract those links from bookmark thanks

i will replace if it is causing too much trouble just to use it.
While I hasn't brought an iMac before, all my macbooks are order online via Apple SG website because there is really no different from buying from store like nubox, etc.

personally I use iCloud to sync my bookmarks.

Apple recently made an official for Macbook Pro 2010 as an obsolete product.

My Macbook Pro 15'' Late 2011 is already waiting for its turn. And I'm planning to upgrade soon after they release a new Mac line-up.

Hope yours will last longer.
Don't upgrade a new Mac OS, just because it's tempting. One of the reasons why my Macbook Pro is abit lagging/heavy...

I already encounter slightly lag to be frank etc

but I using 3rd party app just to squeeze a bit at least cut down too much lagging

Sometimes you don't update also LPPL, ... They will stop support never mind problem you will find somehow a lot stuffs suddenly cannot do.

just like iPhone, I use to own iphone 4 , I rarely will upgrade electronics stuffs unless really cannot use

than many apps cannot work thus no choice i get myself iphone 6 that time.

hmm problem perhaps is space.

Mac books old ones still can easily put one side

but for iMac you need space to place new iMac

for me in fact i love my iMac just that as usual New OSX always will lag the older iMac or macbook

my habit is use only till really cannot use than change

If funds allow, replace the mechanical HDD to a SSD and max out ram, fresh install MacOS Sierra and it should work as good as new.

problem hard to find trusted reliable 3rd party to do it.

I lose touch on hardware stuffs. I don't follow up much on hardware stuffs.

i'm sure the helpful bros here will recommend some reliable shops to do the upgrade for your iMac.

Mac is generally very reliable for years and lasts many major releases of OS.

Think you should do that or use it as an external display.

I have a 21.5" mid-2011 iMac which I just recently upgraded the hard disk from HDD to SSD. I also used the chance to bump up the RAM from 8GB to 16GB. Bought the SSD, RAM and parts to dismantle the iMac all from OWC (www.macsales.com).

The iMac is blazing fast now and is as good as new! I upgraded to MacOS Sierra after that as well.

You should seriously consider it. I spent about $500 for the upgrade, but my iMac can probably last me another 5 years now.

i purchase my iMac in 2010... it serve me really well throughout the years...

really love the display and the all in one factor which reduces the need for wires....

not until few months ago... it finally GFX card uplorryz... sianz half... as it was out of warranty...

had ask around those 3rd party repair... was quoted 400-500 plus for gfx card replacement for a 6 year old machine...

probably waiting for a iMac refresh den buy their re-furbished last gen set...

meanwhile currently using my macbook pro... which serve me well... less the big screen... haha ...

lo, you still have Macbook pro standby at least.

For me Only iMac only computer.

Presently I cross my finger still can use , although sometimes lag and as usual " famous colour ball appear " but still can use .

I mainly use for work.

I stand corrected but the impression I got is those models, be it portables or desktop that come with dedicated graphics chip set (not the built-in Intel graphics) are not that reliable.
