2012 Thin iMac Take Apart Video Guide



The 2012 iMacs have been reported as unrepairable and non upgradeable.  In fact when we asked our Apple associates at the Genius bar what they do when a customer has a hardware issue in the new thin 2012 iMacs, they told us that Apple just replaces the entire machine!  Well, we have found that the notion of the iMac being non upgradeable or repairable is simply not true.  The thin edge to edge glass screen on the iMac is actually held on by an adhesive, with careful manipulation this adhesive can be removed and replaced, allowing the thin screen to be taken off the iMac, giving access to the hardware guts of the machine.



iComputer takes on the new 2012 iMac!  This step by step video guide shows how to take the new razor thing iMacs apart.  This certified technician in the video makes this repair look easy!  So it is possible to do an SSD upgrade or any kind of hard drive upgrade for that matter, fairly easily on the the new thin 2012 iMacs.  The screen on this iMac is very, very expensive and fragile so I would not attempt this if you are not a computer technician or extremely technically savvy.  Please call iComputer with any questions.

Gartner is an information technology research and advisory company. David Cearley is the vice president of Gartner and he wrote, “These technologies are emerging amidst an integration of several forces – social, mobile, cloud and information.

Mobile devices

The growth in mobile phone use for Web access, data access and business is starting to take over PCs, ending Window’s dominance over corporate platforms.  Windows is now only one of a variety of environments IT will need to support.
This fact emphasizes the importance of IT departments to be able to troubleshoot and support a myriad of mobile devices for different platforms.  One size does not fit all.
David Cearley the vice president of Garner wrote: “”By 2015 media tablet sales will reach around 50% of laptop shipments and Windows will be in third place behind Android and Apple… We believe that Microsoft’s share of the client platform (PC, tablet, smartphone) will likely be reduced to 60% and it could possibly fall below 50%.”

Growth of mobile centric apps and interfaces
