2012 iMac 21.5 upgrade rant

-

after 2 years decided time bump 2012 21.5” imac ssd drive , bump memory 16gb while in there.

<rant>

pain in butt (especially memory).
shame on apple making process difficult. there many simple , inexpensive design changes have done make process easier. if ive , engineering team geniuses able design system not looked fantastic (which 21.5” imac does) user accessible too…

shouldn’t have take out power supply, fan, drive bay, logic board etc. in order replace memory. , know going worse (like "new" low end imac , mac mini's).

</rant>

btw - ssd upgrade (a crucial 256gb mx100) fantastic… new machine since standard 1tb 5400rpm drive dog.
