They could have saved some money on the iMacs by simply buying and installing the RAM themselves. If they opted for the 8GB Apple RAM they&#x27;d take $600 off the iMac price.<p>And the 1TB flash storage option they chose can also be questioned. I mean, 1TB of the iMac&#x27;s internal flash storage is super expensive, but it&#x27;s also WAY WAY faster than the Samsung 850 EVO in terms of read&#x2F;write times. (Samsung 850 EVO has the SATA bottleneck.) My point is that if you know your process is constrained by CPU speed, don&#x27;t put so much of your budget into fast storage. If they had opted for the 256 GB flash storage option in the iMac they&#x27;d take $700 off the price.<p>OTOH, I don&#x27;t see a way around the inability to overclock the iMac&#x27;s cpu. Stuck with 4.0 GHz (or 4.2 in Turbo boost).
