You totally missed the use use is not made for use by non-techs people through the home! Techs really misses this point!

@Xi Le I’m personally waiting for the 14inch, I plan to get into coding and such and would like to have a more powerful laptop

@Xi Le probably, if you get the higher storage/gb models

@Charley S It's Apple controlling every Mac feature like all components are glued to the Macs even someone can replace another internal SSD, but it won't work with the system.

You always go in to great detail. Would you consider doing a video about connecting a second monitor to an M1 iMac. There's a lot of confusion on this topic. Can't find a good video about it and that's all that's holding up my purchase, gotta have that second monitor. 😉

Especially after seeing the blue 24" iMac in person, I am actually a big fan of the design! Wouldn't mind if the larger version looks the same and gets a ton of colours too!

Contrary to many, I do like the way these new iMac's look, and think that they are a nice touch to all their legacies going back to 1998, EXCEPT for the glossy screen itself. I also agree with your comments on the ports. Otherwise, well done, Apple.

I never would have thought to ask the question about the fan(s). I just ordered the highest end version with the 16gb unified memory and 1TB storage so I'm assuming I have the two fan model. Thanks for the thorough review.

Excellent overview. While most of the reviews I've seen so far mainly deal with the aesthetics of the new iMac, you truly overview the some of the issues that may be problematic when it comes to storage of files, (for which I uses an external hard drive as for my iTunes library) and photo-editing. Don't think I'll be purchasing this one, but rather keep the 21.5" I have, and eventually upgrade to a 27" when the time comes. thank you

I got the top spec M1 iMac for photography work. I sold my mid range 2017 27" iMac as I got the M1 MacBook Air and was simply blown away by it! I love this machine! But yeah the lack of ports are a bit crappy. Having adaptors isn't the end of the world though. The white bezels I'm not madly in love with. I wish they had kept the purple variant (the one I have) that deep purple at the back of the computer, its so nice. The lilac at the front is ok. If apple hadn't did this with the colour options I totally would have got the red colour, but that salmon orange/pink at the front is gross lol. Great video, fair and accurate I reckon. Just think what the next 5 years will be like!!! Excited much? lol. I am such a geek.

Still can't believe they got rid of the iMac Pro. Absolute BEAST of a machine and slices through 4K footage and even 6K with ease. And actually has all the ports needed.

I might be the only one but I prefer the 24” speakers. Not as loud but definitely sounds cleaner.

We also have different preferences

I can't tell any difference. Probably because of the speakers I have.

@DRIS But the test wasn't about "replacing" another model, it was about Apple claiming its the best speakers they've ever used in a Mac, so if ANY Mac sounds better it puts into question that claim.

I was thinking the same thing.

Indeed, it’s very soft & gets its sound very clear & more of a private sound for your ears only

Best sound doesnt imply loudest sound. You guys are just so obsessed with loudness. It sounds crisper and clearer even if it is not louder than the other models for its size it has done well just like the ipad pro has done well for its size.🙌

True

I have the new M1 MacBook Pro mid level and can confidently say even though the sound is crisp and clear that it still isn’t loud enough as well as the iPad isn’t loud enough. I have both and I also have a Samsung tabs7 and the tabs7 sound just as good and is LOUDER than a whole heavy ass MacBook Pro 16 inch.

lol max tech are all about the specs, surprised they don't support samsung phones on this channel :p

Size matters

@DRIS Because the test was regarding Apples claim they are the "best speakers in a Mac", so NO other Mac should sound better!

Apple has plenty of room to develop the product line-up by implementing the M1 in multi-package mainboards....consider Dual M1 iMacs or Quad M1 iMacs...this method allows for more ports, more RAM and more performance without fabbing a new M1X or M2 chip just yet

Max, Thank you for this informative video, The warning about the fans or lack thereof, specifically the presence of only one fan in the entry level 24” monitor, the resultant heat generation and fan noise led me to cancel my order for the entry level 24” iMac and get the more expensive model with two fans and 8 cores, hoping for a silent user experience. You are a great source of actionable intelligence, a fountain of wisdom of all things Mac! One final thing, the app for turning down the fan is one more thing to worry about and may degrade the parts of the iPad over time in subtle ways that you may not have envisioned.

@Diminish12 its been fine - I did get a hub so I could use my circa 2015 Apple USB keyboard which has more key travel than Apple's newer generation keyboards, all of which I don't like. I have a 2nd gen Magic keyboard that I use w/my iPad. It's OK. it has more key travel than the one that comes w/the M1 Mac. I'm almost 69 years old and can't get used to minimal key travel. I use the keyboard it came with for only one task, pressing the touch ID button. So I have two keyboards, one legacy USB keyboard in front of me and one sitting on the M1 stand w/in reach to press Touch ID. I don't see an issue w/the four ports. The issue with the ports and the noiser fan is with the lower end model. I got a powered hub because it was more convenient than buying usb-c to lightening cables.

How has your M1 been so far? Have you needed to plug and unplug lightening ports since it only has 4? Did you get a USB hub to fix this issue.

One quick question, is there anything stopping the user from installing a second fan in the base model? How far behind would the 7 core GPU be? 🤔 there goes an idea for another video!

For your launchpad, just set up hot corners. I set up the bottom left corner of the screen for launch pad so I just swipe my mouse down there and I can easily access all the apps. Much faster than the keyboard shortcut anyway, in my opinion.

Great review, like the balance between good and bad. And maybe for future graphic tests you could use Metro Exodus, since it is a triple A-Titel and still running on M1 macs. Also, mostly this is a consumer product, I find it weird to not tell the prices with TAX, maybe the average of all taxes of the US. Also the comparison in price to value there should be the component price in it not just the price Apples charges for it. I guess we would all agree that their prices for example their mouse, their keyboard and so on isn't nearly as cheap as they should be compared to what they coast in production. And the development of it is fairly low since they using hardware already existing, especially for the mouse which is going to the dust storage section. Overall with TAX, with upgrade coasts and so on, the price for the value isn't as good as it might seem. Not bad and definitely on a good average level, but not great, the Intel Models just have been so useless expensive to earn more profit. Apple was never a company having a healthy amount of profit, they always tried to drain everything out of the customers and we can be sure, they make a hell of evil profit above a healthy 25% with their iMacs and periphery as well. But well, it will be exciting to see what armV9 Macs will be in performance and how many applications and more triple A-Games like Metro and prosumer software will be running on them as well mid. next year.

The speakers might not be as loud as the old iMac, but they definitely sound better to my ears. Less bass, but also way less distortion in the higher frequencies. If you want bass, you should use a subwoofer anyway.

Would it be a mistake to use the price difference between base and mid-tier for 16gb ram instead of going for mid-tier? I heard another reviewer say that the m1 chip doesn't get that hot.

Your explanation Of the fan difference between the base and the higher end imac was very helpful. Also your graphic that showed the 4.5 K red render gave me tangible stats. Thank you. Had been back and forth, but that was the piece that cemented the decision to buy the higher level

In my personal opinion, you should ALWAYS get the ethernet option. Having an ethernet cable will always be faster and will always be much more stable than wireless.

Not to mention healthier.

The greatest disappointment are the 3mm tilted displays. At that price point I'd expect some more precision.

Thanks for pointing out the “missing fan” debacle. That makes it a deal breaker for me (as far as the entry level model goes) Then again, that’ll probably make Apple very happy if people simply go for the 1500 upgrade.

@anindita basak 95 degrees Celsius isn't cool.

The single fan isn’t a problem. M1 runs totally fine even without a fan. It’s very power efficient and runs cool and quiet.

From my perspective of working as an engineer for over 35 years (now retired) Apple really missed the mark of integrity for not disclosing that the base model only has one fan. From a design perspective I don't understand why Apple chose to delete the fan that cools the M1 processor. Why not delete the other (left side) fan if it was so important to save a few dollars. (Perhaps that cooling fan is more important??) It appears that Apple purposely removed a fan that would impact performance. Apple should have revealed that in their marketing literature. As such, I give Apple a "D" in integrity. Thanks for your video and for revealing the shortcomings. Apple should immediately apologize for not informing potential customers of loss in performance of the base model.

@Cameron Bosch Base models aren't meant for pro users anyway.

@Kiren yay! Insults! Perfect way to make yourself look smart and bring your point across.

@transitengineer The macbook air does not need a fan. Of course that will limit its performance, but it does just fine with that reduced performance. They put the M1 in the iPad Pro, with even less room for thermals and even power. And yes, its having to throttle and underclock itself, but it still blows everything else out of the water. If youre trying to make a point, youre not succeeding.

@BFactory did you not read my entire comment? People have been using PCs for a while, the majority of gamers run their systems hot and hard and they still run. Prebuilt Alienwares and the like were never cool and/or quiet. Laptop gamers have it even worse, and again they still run fine. Yes, engineers are right when they say its bad for longevity....but they mean in terms of decades, not single digit years. And when it comes to Apple, people are not going that long before upgrading. Or at least, 95% are not. Please dont try to blame Apple for doing what every other company has been doing without issue.

I really like the design, but the bezel making it more recognizable is really not an argument to make for the user. One could argue that they could have made something that people liked more, but didn't because this is helping their brand more.

I am most curious if macOS will be updated to support eGPUs on the M1. And of course the more software updated for M1 the better.

Great review. The new iMacs are great, but I think I will wait for the 27 inch version.

Incredibly helpful information. Thank you very much. I actually had a 24' iMac in my cart on apple's site while viewing this. The 24" is just not going to work for me. You are a good dude.

I wouldn’t want my desktop to look just like a monitor. The “chin” also provides a space for stickie notes ;-)

@PlaystationPlaya you guys are way too serious about such an unimportant thing.

That’s a you problem.

@Jaspreet Sidhu I’m with you. I wouldn’t at home, it at work yes :-)

Who gonna stick notes on this beautiful piece,,!! I will never

There is a special cover. Notes don’t stick

I think that it is import to understand where this device fits, it is a consumer device and as such we can agree that a 1Gb is more than enough. There are still plenty of families that have a 100Mb hub in their home (some do not even remember what it was used for) as today 85% is wireless.

Great review and very informative evidence to avoid the cheaper model!

I agree the single fan on the base model is a dubious decision by Apple.

@anindita basak If it runs "totally fine" without a fan then why do they put an additional one in with the more expensive model? Apple disagrees with you.

M1 runs totally fine even without a fan.

Hey Max. So when looking at the stock options on the Apple website, how can I tell which is the cheapest upgrade that eliminates the fan noise that you mentioned? The first one up with the 8 core GPU? Thanks!

It’s the second option

Totally agree about the speakers in the new iMac. I just got mine a few days ago, and the speakers are very disappointing and sound terrible to me. The bass is muffled and the treble is very tinny and harsh. Horrible!

Great review. I didn't know what size of imac to get. Answered all the questions I needed about the 24". Glad I watched this video.

I miss one big disadvantage! The storage and memory are NOT upgradable nor replaceable! If you have little memory the machine will start to swap on the disc wearing it out fast. If it does wear out your only only option is to buy a new machine or replace the complete main board IF they even allow mac service points to replace them.

Again another excellent review. However, the more I see of the new colorful new 24-inch iMac's the better the older discontinued space gray 27-inch Intel iMac Pro models start to look.

For Launchpad, go to your Preferences and then Mission Control. From here you select Hot Corners. This is way faster than a button and that's what I've been using for years for things like Start Screensaver, Show Desktop, Mission Control. I laugh when people complain about the magic mouse charge port and not being able to use it when it's charging. The mouse lasts 2-3 months on a charge, and 10 minutes of charging will give you a days of use if you somehow forget. A few times a year, plug in overnight and you will be good to go. So people want to wreck the daily design and aesthetics for something that is only used a few times a year. It's not like an electric car that needs to be plugged in every night or a lawn that needs to be cut every week.

Just a note on the Ethernet upgrade, WiFi is only FAST if you have router that can match the fast speeds. People the base model is good for, often won’t have this.

Awesome video. Thanks man. Im debating whether to get the 16gb, 1TB version or wait for the imac pro for the M1x...hmmmm for me its for video editing and photos but for the long run like a good 5 yrs....

I actually love the design. Almost to the point of buying it, if it wasn't for the fact I'm covid unemployed and havent got 2 cents to rub together. Food first, toys second. But I love it. Apples been stuck in this ultra conservative mindset were its just making the same damn design over and over and over again. But suddenly their industrial designers are off the leash again, and the result if something genuinely new. It wasnt till I was in in the apple store and saw one for real that I realised just how attractive looking this device is. Jonny Ives is gone. Things suddenly start feeling jobs-y again. Guess we know where the problem was. Knock it, but know this: Within 2 years everyones gonna be copying this design.

I have a question for you. I was in my local Apple store with my sister as she was getting a new M1 iPad Pro. I headed over to the 24" iMacs and started launching apps. I started up Pages and Numbers and both app icons bounced 3 times before getting me to the first screen. Was not slow but wasn't as fast as I assumed it would be. When I got home I launched both apps on my 2019 iMac 27". No bouncing icons, the apps just opened. What gives? Thanks for your thoughts/comments.

Hey Max, I was curious if you can pair the HomePod mini for better sound on the Mac? I agree with you on the classic silver, It’s the one I choose every time…..lol

I love that the apple logo is no longer on the front! It looks way better and compliments minimalist interior design like i prefer.

I was surprised to find that they don't have FCPX loaded on display models at the Apple Store. Then I think I figured out that they aren't gearing this one to video editors? Even the sales people at the store were surprised it Final Cut wasn't loaded. Oh, and BTW, LumaFusion WAS loaded on iPad Pro displays.

Yes. Thanks for mentioning the buyers guide at the end. Basic office work and most students will not need beyond the base model.

great video..! i'm currently using a 2015 5k 27" iMac with 3.3 GHz Inter Core i5 and 16 GB RAM. my most frequently used software are Adobe After Effects, Ableton Live, Pioneer Rekordbox, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I do motion graphics along with music production and mixing on my system. Since neither of these apps are yet optimised for the M1 (except PS), I'm wondering whether this would the be a significant upgrade, or would these apps still comparatively run faster and perform better on the M1 than my current system (assuming I got for the 8-core config with 8 or 16 GB RAM)? your response would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you guys heard about the M1 iPad Pro’s thunderbolt port transfer speed issue? Apparently it’s not getting anywhere near the transfer speeds it should.

Apple cud have removed the left fan instead of the right fan, like how they did it for the MacBook Air giving it a fan with no heat pipe and making it bad intentionally.

I just wish Apple made a 32” version, I would buy one… or a Mac Mini with a 32” Apple-made affordable display. 24” is just too small.

@Gino Sturm Just because Apple tells everybody they are an environmentally conscious company doesn’t mean they are. Using a old iMac as a external display just seems a logical thing to do.

@Se7enity Ah good point.

@Gino Sturm : Here is a thought. Just think of all the 27” iMacs going into landfill because they cannot be used as external displays for the Mac Mini or MacBook Pro after they computer is too old. Apple needs to bring back “Target Display Mode”

Yeah they should make a “Display XDR” or something like the Pro Display but with a smaller resolution, cheaper, or possibly a 27” model

@Arnav Tyagi: :: I know. It just seems like We have been waiting for such a long time. It wasn’t a problem as I was still using my 2011 17” MacBook Pro, but since it died 2 weeks ago I am now getting very impatience and increasingly annoyed.

Great video! I haven't seen such detailed videos anywhere about the M1 devices! Btw can you suggest a display that matches this iMac under $700-$800 (for my M1 MBP)?

@Max Tech Thankyou so much for that!☺️

Thank you for your viewership! If you want a larger display I’d buy a used 27” LG ultra fine 5K or new 24” 4K ultra fine if you want a bright sharp and color accurate screen.

How do you rate its performance in dealing ( open, edit, save) with large photoshop (.psb) files ( like 10gb)?

Thanks for the site it's excellent information.I have the upgraded model of the iMac 24. I'm very interested about the fan and the speaker. Im considering a Satechi USB-c clamp hub for the 24 inch iMac. It attaches on the bottom right of my computer. My concern is will the hub interfer with my speakers and cause my computer to heat up.

I hope Apple makes this iMac in 27”. I sometimes watch movies from computer, and I am too used for bigger screen than 24”. Especially if there is two people watching it.

On the "best sound ever from an iMac" comment - well... there are a few points to consider: 1. Balance across the frequency range 2. Loudness 3. Resolution of sound (how well one can discern sounds in playback, a.k.a. fidelity) I would certainly agree that the new iMac is not anywhere near as loud as the older iMac and iMac Pro. However, (putting my producer hat on), I think the other two qualities - balance across the frequency range and resolution - on the new iMac ARE better. To be sure, I would not want to try to mix productions on the iMac speakers in normal day-to-day work. BUT! I would definitely want to use the iMac's speakers for test playbacks to see how balanced my recording is when NOT played on pro monitors. I think the speakers are very accurate and that there is an even response across the frequency spectrum. A lot of our evaluation of "how good something sounds" is based these days on two or three factors, the main being loudness and how much bass you can hear (or feel). To my ears, the older iMacs are a bit "bass weighted" so they can bring out bass sounds a bit more strongly that would be expected for such small speaker space, and so they will seem to have more "punch" when playing popular music (and dance and EDM, which I even make, myself), but *in my own opinion*, I prefer an even balance across the frequency spectrum - what we often call a "flat" response, because that is better to base the quality of a mix from. Anyone can turn up the bass on their own, after all. So, this is just my ruble, but I think I can understand the basis upon which Apple makes its claim. Admittedly, it comes across strange to most of us because this machine certainly does not have the punch or the bass, but, I like the accuracy I hear. Great video as always, Vadim!

@Max Tech True - I do not know who is whom) Max, yes. Possibly too, the act of listening to speakers through miking that is rather open - it is hard to discern. It might be interesting if there are frequency response charts for these machines, but I doubt Apple makes these available. It could be done with real good mics set at an established fixed distance from the machine and then recorded. If you have two omnidirectional microphones this would probably work best... say at three or four feet from the machine, center and with a set distance apart. I might try about 15-20cm separation (the distance between our ears) for the mics. Just another ruble. I think it would be an interesting test, but for the sake of the consumer or prosumer, it would probably be a lot less important than the other capabilities of these machines. I am truly impressed with the scope and depth of these reviews, and I am eager to see what the WWDC brings for news tomorrow. I work with an i9 15" MacBook Pro and it does a fine job, but I can push it to CPU overload in Pro Tools too easily, and I want to really extend my tracking. Also, I would like to be able to sent 4K at 60Hz to my screen instead of 30Hz which is all this setup seems to allow. Let's see what happens! Have a great day and thank you for your reply!

Thanks (this vid is Max but it’s hard to know) I totally agree on volume, but to my ears even at similar volumes the 2020 27” iMac sounds better.. I even re-listened to them yesterday to make sure but that’s my opinion.

Thank you, that's what most of people thought. Honest unbiased opinions are always appreciated.

Thinking about buying this for my homeoffice. Just wondering whether you can also use the imac as an external monitor (i.e. extend screen of laptop). Ideally, I would be able to hook a windows pc (and from time to time a macbook pro) to it..Would this be possible?

I like this Mac. I want it but as a software engineer and soon content creator, I want a little bigger screen and an upgraded cpu. Is there an M1x or M2 iMac in the pipeline? I’m new to the iMac line so maybe It’s the iMac pro? Im not sure. Im willing to hold off for a larger screen more pro version if others here in the comments have heard any rumors that this will come?

super review. One of the best I've seen. Is it me or are the mics in the new imac rather muted? Every review I've watched seems like I would want to crank the volume of those mics.

Great video, has to buy one on the fly and this video told me everything I needed to know to fit my situation.

As a tech-o-phile, by 13:45 your review had made up my mind to not buy this compromised design, thank you for doing the hard work 😓

Good video except for one big point: you keep looking at the base model iMac through your eyes and not it's intended market: entry level.  The people who are going to buy the entry-level machine won't notice or care about the issues you mentioned. Apple are supreme penny-pinchers (not a bad thing necessarily) and if it helps them eek out the profit they want by not having a heat sink on one of the fans and it's intended market isn't going to notice, that's completely fine. Would my elderly mother or school-age nephews/nieces notice or care? Absolutely not. Ports? Two ports is completely fine on the entry-level machine. The most anyone will connect to the computer is a flash drive. They won't even do it with a printer since they'll probably use WiFi to connect. In a school? Flash drive. Maybe. If they are allowed. 1Gbe. Again, for the intended market, this is completely fine. 10Gbe is still far from the norm and until they fix the heat issue with that ethernet connection, it's going to be a while. And the type of work being done on these machines won't need it. Yes the Mac mini gets 10Gbe. But it's not the same market either. I saw the new iMac at B&H yesterday and thought it looked absolutely amazing. It's super-sleek. People who complain about the chin tend to be computer-geeks and Internet, well, trolls, who don't know anything about business, marketing and design. The design is iconic. People who buy iMacs don't care about the chin. As you mentioned and as I have when it was released, there is a reason why other computer manufacturers copy the design quite blatantly. Not necessarily because it look awesome, but because it looks like a Mac. You folks do a great job with reviewing gear. One of the best. But you regularly don't think from the viewpoint for the intended market. A piece of entry-level gear shouldn't be held to the same level or expectations as pro gear.

Which external speakers would you recommend if I chose to IMPROVE sound quality and/or loudness of this M1 iMac?

The fan issue/design is so disappointing on the base model. I feel like the $200 upgrade is mostly for the fan. I know you also get 2 more ports, an extra GPU core, and Touch ID but I’d rather spend that money on memory and SSD upgrades.

200 bucks for a not overheating computer is such a classic modern Apple thing.

200 bucks…is that a lot🤣?

The $200 upgrade is a must.

Extremely helpful, thank you for making this video.

I am one of those who hated the chin and white bezels but have completely turned around and like both! I honestly didn’t expect that…

Thank you very much for sharing these important points as not many reviewers are showing them.

Regarding the fan, yeah wow, didn't know that. That's simply terrible for the chip and saving a few cents per machine. You'd think in any sense you'd couple the hot CPU with you know, the fan doing the work connected to the heat pipes. Guess not. Great review though!

Wanted to know if they added the secondary fan on the entry level iMac

The planned obsolescence of the cheaper iMac looks like it can be alleviated by modding it like INE can do with the MacBook Air to make it run at top speeds even without a fan. Shame on apple for purposefully crippling their entry level model to prevent it from keeping up with the more expensive models. Until they lose money from such moves they will never learn to just do the right thing.

Seriously this is insanely anti-consumer...

I truly appreciate all your info! But exactly what I am looking for is the best machine or MacBook pro for portable recording studio on the machine!! Any suggestions???

I gather that most users that are really concerned with audio quality don't rely on internal speakers. I have not seen comments anywhere about adding external speakers, which ones sound best and especially homepods. I happen to think a couple full sized homepods would sound excellent. I assume pairing would be done via airplay. Also, is it possible to pair the homepods and keep the internal speakers running too. Any comments based on real life experience would be helpful.

The largest headache is, that Big Sur has a very poor support for 4k/UHD. I was shocked about that poor windows programming and bad resolution. I did send the first M1 Mac mini back, because of that reason, beside slow processor reaction and long delays compared to Intel NUC Windows PC. I do love the video editing features of Macs, lacking that painfully in MS Windows 10/11. Regarding that iMac: I do not understand why that amount of aluminium should not be capable of cooling that 45W processor. I am using passive cooled PCs since many years. Just upgraded to a silent Cirrus 7 AMD 4750g System.

I prefer brushed steel look. I suppose it’s expensive as well.

I feel that those who complain about the chin and bezels should look at the rumoured 32" iMac, as the 24" iMac is not a pro machine, it's just for those who want a great overall experience doing basic tasks.

Of course it’s a pro machine. The upper tier one that is.

@BT Movie I edit 4K videos on my M1 MBA and it’s amazing

Great analysis...I don't do any gaming or graphics so ordering (delivery in early July) the bright orange with 16Gb Ram 1TB storage options will be plenty of performance for me...and hopefully the last desktop I will need for the next 10 years...I did subscribe to help you reach that 1 M mark...

That was Vadim, but yes video coming up lol.

I would get at least 1 TB SSD, and an external drive (I have a Western Digital 2 & 4 TB drive with a USB-C connector and USB-A adapter). I would not want the base model. I am waiting for the M1X MacBook Pro or M1X larger I-Mac. I would love to get at least 32 GB, since I want to run Premiere Pro, After Effects, Logic and Final Cut Pro, plus other Adobe Programs along with Motion, Compressor and Main Stage. But I do love the look of the I-Mac and I don't mind the colors. I agree the Chin is so Iconic, you don't even need the Apple Logo in front, and when the Machine is on, you will know it is an Apple computer. I don't have anything to plug Ethernet into. We use wireless at our house.

The most useful video that I've seen on the new IMac. Thanks a lot.

THX for your honest review. I will probably not buy this 24" model. Might go back to what I am used to, the 27"

Well done bro, you definitely deserve that one million subscribers milestone, good luck on that!

Thank you!

A $1200 2021 computer beating the piss out of a 3 year old $15,000 computer is unreal. We are now at the point where if you are spending over $1500 for a computer you’re probably paying to much.. that’s awesome.

People want to complain about everything. I personally think it is a beautiful looking machine.

This video was very informative and helpful !! Thank you

The 24 inch iMac sounds very good but it is not loud enough.

Throw in a few dollars by plugging it up with a Yamaha stereo receiver and a couple of Teufel loudspeakers and your problem's solved.

The only problem I found is that programs from my previous iMac computer are useless because they require the Intel chip and No updates are yet available.

I'll wait for the 32" iMac which I think will replace the 27" one.

Thanks for detailed and informative video 👍👍

16:38 M1X should be more than just double of M1. We need a 32 core GPU to run AAA games. It needed to be more than 90,000 score in Geekbench Metal test.

Hi, Is the $1299 version ok for developing mobile apps using xcode, Android studio, visual studio code, and what ram do you recommend?

It roughly as the same performance as my MacBook Air. It's not that I need that much performance but I can't help to think that a desktop with the same performance as a thin and light laptop is underwhelming.

Duh, the display

Apple continues to come up with solutions for problems they created. Take away the headphone jack? They create AirPods. Take away all the ports this year? Add the ports back next year and call it the best iMac ever made🙄

I don’t think the color matters at all: does it do the job better? I could care less whether it fits my decor!

The m1 speakers sounds better. The loudness of the other ones causes a little bit of distortion that its not in the song originally

"Why can't we get all those pro features on the new consumer line system? It's still not as good in many ways as my old iMac Pro." C'mon you guys…

iMac Pro cost thousands of £ more isn’t that like comparing a Mercedes E class with a Ford Fiesta?

I am a photographer and use Photoshop daily. I am thinking about upgrading to a new Mac Mini and purchase a BenQ monitor. Would my plan be better than upgrading to the new 24” IMac?

Exactly what I needed for my sons iMac purchase. Thank you so much...

On the bright those that paid for an upgraded processor will feel like they are getting a worthwhile upgrade.

This will be my first computer, is this a good buy especially getting the 16 GB?

I watched the entire video but i just want to make sure , the 2nd model the middle end iMac has the double fan too? I use a lot of zoom , which one would you recommend , i liked and I’m a subscriber

My opinion that this device isn't for a personal use. But it is for schools, university, cafes and so no. Be also advised that 5nm architecture is a very sensible to any overheating and it can reduce a life time of the processor.

I mean it IS for personal use, but for casual users who only need it to type word documents, answer emails, and watch youtube. Or a shared family computer, or something for a child to do online school. Clearly it’s not for pro users and tech nerds like us...

Important point about the fan missing on the lower model!

I finally got mine

thats the model i currently have! how much better is the new one? does it have an improved graphics card? mine is currently radeon 6750

Excellent review. Thank you.
