Dusting off this mid-2011 27" iMac that I bought at a liquidation auction years ago. Lovely machine, but needed replacement of spinning rust and I maxed it out to 32GB. Have been using it for photo processing with Lightroom, which it handles very well.
Unfortunately the pre-planned obsolescence is kicking in, and MacOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) is as far as it goes.
@oisin I have a 2009 Mac Pro that I updated by firmware to appear as a 2010. This allowed me to get it all the way to High Sierra. Stuck in a GPU capable of doing 4K and dual hexcore CPU. Still think my 2020 M1 MBA is better though!
To be fair, it’s a 14yo machine at this stage. It’s done well.
I feel more aggrieved about my 2013 Mac Pro not being supported anymore. It’s the same spec as the trash cans sold in 2019 but none of them get updates anymore!
