I still have this since the day I bought it. About 2 or 3 years ago I upgraded the RAM from 4 to 12GB RAM. It still runs pretty good up til this day.
How can I run mine on that I still have OS X Yosemite 😢
I picked up a 2011 with a 7200rpm 1TB drive and 8GB RAM running High Sierra. It was a little slow and I could hear the HDD grinding away. I just installed a 500GB Samsung SSD and the difference is incredible. So much quicker booting and opening and managing the apps I use (Outlook, Teams, browsers...). I have another 8GB RAM on the way too. Very impressed with this machine.
This is my iMac. It overheats almost all the time and goes up to 70 degrees when browsing. Any idea how to fix this?
Of course. Got our’s new in 2011 and still works pretty great.
merci bg, j'avais justement besoin de conseil et d'un avis extérieure sur ce mac. Good video
i still have the mid 2011 is it still advisable to do it this year 2024?
Nice video! Thanks bro💯
Dose airplay work? Mine finds my Apple TVs but can't connect... Turing to find a solution 🤔
How much does the SSD mounting bracket and hard drive cost?
Please make a vid on 2017 macbook pro still good?
Hello. great Video. have my imac 2011, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and i wan to do this upgrade but the new version on open legacy is 2.2.0. wondering if i can still follow this steps on this video and still work. thank you for your help.
I have the big 2011 27 inch iMac working now, and man it's still a fast computer even to this day. It held up soo well with such a beautiful 1440p display panel which looks flawless almost 12 years later. It's a fast computer with a new SSD and 16 GB of RAM. It can still keep up with web browsing and video playback and even some light video editing whenever I want to. Overall, performance on this is really good for the fact that it's a computer from 2011. It currently has an i5-2400, 512GB SSD, and 16 GB DDR3 The Optical Drive can be replaced with another ssd or hdd but mine still has the optical drive.
Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing, the SSD and more ram makes a big difference
"Defenatly seams a little bit faster" 😂
Does it let you use the appstore?
Do we need to do anything to help with the cooling fan?
Where can I get that SSD bracket you used? Name?
I have a 2011 27-inch iMac. If I upgrade to Monterey, will everything work fine, including Wi-Fi? I am still using the AMD GPU.I look forward to receiving your feedback.
