Any idea if the 5k iMac has user upgradeable ram? I assume so as the normal 27inch does.

Sure, if you like guitar picks and foam tape.

I'm super-excited about the inevitable quad-1440p Cinema Display, because it'll lead to a whole new generation of kickass cheap Korean monitors.

It probably does since it has the same RAM hatch in the back. Ever upgrade the RAM on a post-2012 iMac? You have to hit a button hidden in the AC plug-in socket, it pushes the hatch out, then the RAM comes out on this cantilevered bomb bay rack kinda thing, neat. No more forcing chips into a narrow slot.

Okay, I've only ever worked on a 21-inch; this is cool as gently caress. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+27-Inch+EMC+2639+RAM+Replacement/20249

Apple's mobile-CPU situation is fuckin' stupid right now. The 6+ should run A8X, and everything else released since August should run A8, minimum.
