Review: New Apple iMac brings stunning 4K Retina screen to lower-cost model. Apple has added another Retina iMac to its lineup â this time a lower-cost model, at least by Apple pricing standards. Letâs get the bad news out of the way first. This is Apple so nothing is cheap. The new 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display is $1,499. While that price is out of the reach of many consumers, it is $300 cheaper than the base 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display, which starts at $1,799. That latter has been the only Retina iMac available to date.
The service rep at Thee MAC Outlet said that it would cost $400.00 + labor to replace with a refurbished card (I was told that it was connected to the logic board an that I would need to replace everything (video card and logic board) or spend $700.00 on a new logic board/video card.My question is ...i, If it were me, considering this is an older iMac, I'd go for a new one. There's always that chance that after you replace the video card, something else could go wrong. I vote for a new iMac which even without AppleCare comes with a one year limited warranty.
