Check the iMac 27″ EMC 2639 Repairability Score by iFixit:
- 5 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)
- RAM is user-replaceable without opening the case, thanks to the rear access door.
- You can still replace the hard drive and CPU inside this machine, albeit with some adhesive cutting.
- Components are modular and fairly easy to remove.
- Budget-minded folks now can add a second hard drive to the base iMac because the Fusion Drive connector is no longer missing from the logic board.
- The glass and LCD are fused together, and there are no more magnets holding the glass in place.
- You’ll have to masterfully peel off the old double-sided sticky tape and apply new tape in order to reseal this iMac into original condition.
