Is upgrading this iMac worth it in 2026?
The iMac 27" Intel 2017-2020 is one of the best upgrade targets in the Apple lineup:
- • RAM goes to 64GB (user-upgradeable, DDR4)
- • Fusion Drive → SSD = the single biggest speed boost possible
- • Still runs current macOS (macOS Ventura 13)
- • 5K Retina display still looks gorgeous
A fully upgraded 2017 iMac (max RAM + 2TB SSD where possible) costs roughly AED 2,000-2,500 in upgrades and beats a base M4 Mac mini for display and total RAM. If you already own one, upgrade it before buying new.

Intel-era 27" parts are well-stocked in Dubai. RAM, SSDs, PSUs are routine. RAM upgrade same-day. Fusion → SSD swap 1-2 days (one of our most-requested jobs). Logic-board work 3-5 days.
