Just last week, Apple announced a groundbreaking new addition to its iMac desktop line. The new machine, the iMac Intel 27″ with 5K Retina Display, has a beautiful high-resolution display of 5120 x 2880 pixels. That resolution is higher than 1080p HDTVs are capable of producing, and higher even than 4K televisions, which are still considered state of the art.

There is no doubt that Apple’s latest iMac is a gorgeous machine. However, according to the guys over at iFixit, the desktop computer has at least one flaw: it is difficult to repair. Indeed, iFixit gave the Mac Intel 27″ with 5K Retina Display a repairability score of 5 out of 10.

Of course, Apple has been known in the past to sacrifice user repairability in favor of stunning aesthetics. Where PC machines are usually built in such a way that users are able to easily take them apart and make upgrades or repairs, Apple machines typically boast sleek unibody construction that cannot easily be dissembled.

That is certainly the case with the new iMac. The iFixit teardown review criticized the machine particularly for a tricky double-sided adhesive tape that holds the display in place. In order to get into the computer to make repairs, iMac users will have to “masterfully peel off” the tape. Completely new tape must also be precisely applied in order to seal the iMac back up.

In other words, the new iMac may be beautiful, but it is a headache to open up for repair or upgrade purposes. Apple did make it easy for users to replace the machine’s RAM, adding a rear-access door on the back of the computer for precisely that purpose. Other upgrades, though, like replacing the hard drive or CPU, require a complete opening of the unit.
