Older imac this is 2017 model. Ram and ssd can be upgraded but difficult to do so I think

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMa...2_EMC_3068


Screen is just 1080p. At $600 this isn't the best idea in the world but not the worst. It works with Monterrey but no telling how long support will last- I wouldn't expect the next os to be supported on it.

Just stating the obvious, but this can dual boot: MacOS and Windows. M1 cannot.

Yep, you're FAR better off just snagging an open box Macbook Air M1 and using a monitor if you want a Mac with a larger screen at this point. The M1 will spank the dual-core i5 that's in this Costco model.

Per Everymac, this model was discontinued last October.

7th Gen intel. Hard pass for anyone but maybe for a school-aged kid looking for a homework computer.

Obama was the president when the CPU in this model was announced.

5 years up to 7 depending on how generous Apple is. They defined 5 years as vintage, 7 years as obsolete. With that said they supported the iPhone 6s with updates all the way up to iOS 15, and that was released in 2015.

Definitely agree with others, getting a computer this old isn't recommended.

Wouldn't it be better to buy a mac mini and add your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse?

Bestbuy is still selling this MHK03LL/A for $1,099. Walmart has this outdated stuff still selling for $934.95 and Apple is selling this same model refurbished for $889, except that this has 1TB HDD vs the Costco version has 256GB SSD. Difficult to beat the price.
