There is a key boundary that exists at your router or firewall that acts as a gateway for Internet and network traffic.

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.
