Following yesterday's news, many readers asked us the price for replacing the glass plate of the new iMac as we reported it was rather fragile ONCE removed from its location in front of the LCD panel. After contacting our internal sources, owners of the new iMac should not stress so much, as they will be charged USD 35 for the 20" model and USD 30 for the 24" model. One will have to add USD 10 for shipping cost. We were surprised by such low prices, and they were checked twice by our sources on our request.
In addition, if one does need to disassemble the glass plate for adding/changing RAM modules, it will unfortunately be necessary for performing all other operation such as changing HD, CPU or any other components. It looks like this new iMac is designed for limiting users access to the hardware, only Repair Center will have the proper tools.
