Can you test the speed of both the Thunderbolt and the USB C in file transfer speed from an external drive ? Seemed that the speed is limited to not more than 700 MBps !!

Thanks 🙏🏻

your just like my brother the second i say “i want a macbook” (example) he tells me all these techs things and idk what he’s saying and just says SO DONT GET IT in the end …

Too verbose. Trying to be funny. But the gags were really dry. Not worth making the videos longer. Keep it short, pal!

whats a ''baa-en'' ? cant you ppl say '''button'' ?

This is the most informative video on the 24" iMac I have watched. It is the only one that actually explains the real-world differences between models.

Thank you so much 🙏 Glad it was helpful!

Yep I certainly wouldn’t go for cheapest version now I know it so different inside.

@Lisa Defries agreed

Totally agree 💯

@Lisa Defries you pay 20 percent more for 8 percent more performance. Not worth it. The base model is always the way to go with apple

This is by far the most detailed iMac M1 comparison that talks about what maters, like the cooling system rather than the colour of the box strap. Thank you, high quality as always.

Thank you for this video! I have been looking everywhere for a decent comparison between the base model and the mid model. I ordered the base model and was agonizing over whether or not to spend the extra money to upgrade to the mid. I knew there had to a catch to the base model’s lower price outside of the lack of Touch ID, 1 GPU core, and 2 ports, so I’m glad you touched upon the internal differences re cooling. But even with the differences in the internal cooling setup I probably won’t notice much difference. I don’t do video editing or much photo editing and my current job is all about writing. So I think for my needs the base model is more than good enough, as nice as it would be to have the shinier version. Maybe ill spend the extra 50 bucks on a Touch ID keyboard, though.

Hi I came across your statement a year after you post it. How does it serve you? I'm thinking to buy the base model too. 😊

Shocking that Apple doesn't clearly advertise these differences. Great work to fully explain these differences. The base model should be fine for me but thanks for the info👍😎

Not shocking, it's simply _'deceptive retail,'_ as usual..most Companies hide details of production & durability, quality etc etc.

I'm not even thinking of buying a new iMac, but I enjoy keeping up with how the newer generations are built! Amazing presentation on the performance of the two models!

I do not have any issues with the base model. I am enjoying it and it works quite well. There are many of us who will find it suits needs. I am glad there are choices. It is my first Apple desktop. I have been using laptops for years but wanted a desktop and decided to go with the base model. I have had it for a month now and still not second guessing my decision. Previous desktops have been HP and I PREFER APPLE. This screen is gorgeous. Very pleased.

That is exactly the problem with reviews like these. It is alarmism, "you better buy the upgraded version because the heaviest load it can possibly handle is heavier than the base model". I seriously doubt the majority of people will ever push the iMac hard enough to get it to the brink of overheating. This is exactly what they said about my M2 air, the reviewers were screaming about overheating. Meanwhile I have had zero issues and my glass desk is only slightly cooler than the bottom of my air. For people who do not know any better, they will panic buy the more expensive machine and *never* benefit from the upgraded model. Even the title uses aggressive terms - "dont be FOOLED"..... as if theres an inherent flaw with the base model or its a bad purchase.

Hi I came across your statement a year after you post it. How does it serve you? I'm thinking to buy the base model too.

Hi Greg, did you monitor the fan speeds of both during the tests? Is there a chance the 16gb on the higher end model is affecting the benchmark results or do the benchmark apps not use up the ram? Haven’t long discovered your videos, really enjoying them thanks.

The most helpful video on the M1 iMac that I've watched so far. Thank you for making the differences make sense to both people who will be doing graphics heavy tasks, as well as the people who are just doing basic tasks (email, word processing, internet browsing, etc.).

With the 4 port model you can save on storage. You could attach with velcro on the back a fast 1TB SSD drive and keep your video/music library files there. It is a drag that you end up copying rather than moving files, but you get a clean solution without too many cables on the desk. The docking station is expensive. I also experienced with the hubs on my MacBook Air disconnections if i plug 2 5TB portable drives to a hub. The power provided may not be sufficient on a sustained level. Although probably you could use 2 separate hubs. Is there a real difference in Lightroom Classic and Final Cut Pro between 8GB and 16GB RAM?

Great breakdown. I knew all of this except the dual fan thing and redesign part of the cooling system from just skimming through synopsis and easily chose the base model. What helped was knowing the base is a much higher end PC compared to the 2011 21.5” iMac, which I own, still running strong (granted I had to replace the HDD with an SSD 7 or 8 years in but still, running great) so a iMac built in 2021 should (even in the base model version) be a wayyyyyy better iMac in all respects. Side note: I’ve used wifi with my iMac the entire time I owned it. Never needed Ethernet and yeah there are less ports but who cares external port devices are easy to get if ever needed as guy pointed out. The main difference is 8 core vs 7 core. For me that’s a no brainer, as there is almost no diff at that little of a jump. If it was 7 core, 15 core step up, I’d be thinking about it. Not for 1 more core 😂 fuck outta here wit dat shitttt 🍎

Thanks for the comparisons. I am still waiting for the bigger iMac/more powerful iMac Mini but it is interesting to see how the design specs affect the Output. Perhaps the same will apply to the upper tier models as well… But you know the old adage which still rings true in my opinion: ‘You only get what you pay for” The original M1 Mac Air/M1 Mac Mini possibly did buck that trend but Apple knows that these models only piqued peoples’ interest. As everyone is saying, the new models ain’t gonna be cheap - he he….

Hi Greg, Great video, thanks very much. Could it be that the higher spec model with the two fans and the heat pipe is going to be fitted with a higher spec CPU (M2 or whatever Apple will call it) at some stage and they will have various versions of the 24 inch model with different power CPUs?

It's very interesting how the m1 macbook pro with 1 fan performs almost the same as the m1 imac with 2 fans, but the m1 imac with only 1 fan falls behind the m1 macbook pro. I heard somewhere that with the dual fans, you also get a heat pipe where as with the single fan model, you don't. So maybe thats why.

The biggest drawback is Apple not letting customers know the total difference between the base and the upgrade. They should have informed customers of cooler differences that can affect performance. Apple owes consumers an apology for not fully identifying all the differences. And if one needs more ports one either buys the upgrade or a separate ports module. So perhaps difference in cost is not as great as one may think. I think the only difference should have been in the monitor: 1080 versus 4.5K. Leave the internal cooling design and the number of ports the same.

I mean it’s literally in the description of what each comes with

Drat I was hoping it wouldn’t come up as feeling that different 😂 I’m still uncertain should I go for cheapest iMac at 27 inches screen 2020 ? (not pro version too expensive for me) or for a middle end version of this fun looking looking M1 iMac 24 Think mid tear is around £1500 vs iMac 27 2020 at about £1900

No one, I repeat NO ONE told us about this and this is actually informative.

You must have not watched any other videos on the iMac. All of them are the same

The base model would really round out my setup. After using two M1 based products, I’ve realized the base is plenty for me.. I don’t do any video or photo editing. The lack of ports does suck but can be remedied with dongles and hubs so whatever.

Both models don't have enough ports

The difference in CPU performance is caused mainly by the fact that cheaper iMac has no heat pipe but only simple radiator and the fan placed far from it. Even MBA is better because with thermopads it gives similar performance like MBP.

honestly I think what those scores tell us, is more about the chip than the fan. as we've already seen with the air and the pro, a fan doesn't take much of a difference, so the difference between 1 fan and two should be even smaller. I think this is telling us that the lower binned chips are lacking more than a single GPU core. it would seem that the quality of the whole chip takes a step down.

this was very insightful ! I haven't seen any news elswhere yet on the single/multiple fans and the differences in heat sinks before. That's very good to know given that the thermal cap is the main limit on the M1 performance. Thanks !

I have the base model, and I absolutely love it. I’m just trying to find some accessories to pair with it.

Can you play roblox on it without lagging?

@Julia Gess Not sure why you asked such a simple question... but of course. Roblox would be smooth as butter

Me too. I'm finding it works very well. No issues whatsoever

Great video mate, thank you very much. I bought the base model and I already have two hubs with extra ports. For me that I edit short videos under 5 minutes and do a bit of Photoshop, this model works well. I am curious, what you reckon will be the experience using LumaFusion? I downloaded and installed now. I must say the only thing that kept me using iPads were that. Now with this iMac with LumaFusion, iPad redundant and welcome Samsung Galaxy Tab s8 Ultra ;-)

Isn't it odd that even though them seem to be customizing the two iMacs for their CPUs/GPUs, it seems counter productive to give them such different internal cooling system designs. It takes more R&D, production, and the cost in the difference in the parts for said iMacs would not really be negligible either. It would seem they could have used the same cooling system and saved time and money and that their only goal was to "cripple" or potentially cause the lesser iMac to wear out faster. Why not just have the better iMac as the entry point? Reminds me of buying a cheap car (Kia) because you're broke versus holding out for a couple extra months to save and get something a tad nicer that will last a little longer (Hyundai). I am disappointed there is no legacy USB 3 port at all. Sure there are dongles and hubs, etc. Many, Many, Many people still have USB 3 drives, etc, and if they are going to take away USB 3, at least give us 6 USB C ports. I am a Pro, but geeze Louise, the original iMac was BUSTING with ports! The G4 iMac had more ports. the G5 iMac had ports my 2012 iMac has more ports, my 2019 iMac HAS MORE PORTS! Consumers want ports. Not dongles and hubs. This makes me rethink my decision to buy a mid-level iMac versus the Macbook Pro 14". Pro should mean "extremely higher price tag"" for a few 50 cent ports. The current Mac Mini has USB 3 ports! I miss Jobs, Woz, Jonny and Phil Schiller.

My search for a way to use my iMac as a monitor for my work laptop (HP) led me here. I already bought the mid model iMac last year. No regrets even if I’m not a heavy user and it’s good to know that the fan/cooling system is better (I’m in a tropical country 😅).

Wow…this video was amazingly helpful for a family guy needing to upgrade his iMac from 2009. It is finally getting phased out software wise and doesn’t seem to have enough power to back up new age iPhones. Thank you so much, very comprehensive and helped a ton.

Great video, Greg! I have subscribed. I am about to kick my 2013 iMac to the curb because it is slower than molasses on a cold day. I would love to know if the mentality that Mac users have in upgrading their Macs in the past years will apply to the new M1 Macs. I think you said that you can not upgrade them and change the guts of them. I am a very basic user and the most advanced things I do on my iMac is watch online TV and edit photos. (got tons of those) . Though I would love to learn more things that are more on the creative side (not the programming stuff). So how long will these M1 Mac live for? Thank you for your videos...they made me giggle.

The difference with the low end Imac is realistically unnoticeable. Ports may make a bigger difference. Even a power user wont really notice much..

Been saying it since it was announced and I'm glad people are beginning to understand. Base plus 16GB is the way to go.

This is just the review I needed before I decide which level to buy👍🏽 Thank you!

Sounds like the base model is the way I’ll be going. Thanks for the video!

I wonder if there is a similar difference between the two Mac minis. Specifically, the additional cooling tech.

I am currently looking into buying an Apple Desktop. I am glad I came across this very informative video, I do see the difference between the new and old model. Thank you, for all these details.

THANK YOU , I’ve been contemplating which one to buy and the price worthiness of the two, definitely put it into perspective for me

I just purchased the base model for £700 used. I think it’s a great price!

Personally, I'd upgrade to 16GB of unified memory before the storage because you can always get more storage with externals drives! You can't do that with memory...

Exactly, I ordered an silver high end model with upgraded 16GB ram and base storage. Will get it several days later.

Agreed. It should also extend the longevity. It's poor that some computers at this price are still only coming with 8GB RAM (and yes, I appreciate Mac OS is better optimised, but still).

Smart lads

9 months later but not sure if 16gb is really necessary.. I run AstroPixelProcessor stacking hundreds of 12.6mb images on my 8gb and have never used swap. I can't really think of a more RAM intensive task as that would easily max out my dual xeon z820 with 64gb of ram.

Thanks for the video. I've been looking for a review that talks about its base unit. Most of the information being shown were about higher end model. Just bought mine yesterday. Thanks again.

It’s funny to see so much talk around a 200$ upgrade while here in Canada I had to pay double the price at 3022$ for mine with 16Gb and 1Tb SSD. Thanks for you videos. ✌️

Why didn’t you just get an MacBook Pro?

I’m gonna buy the base cuz the 1500$ one is a little boosted but 32 sec difference on cpu I bet the base model works best for me

Thank you! I needed an explanation and you did a fantastic job! 🤩

The base model with 16gb of ram should be fine for most people. if you can wait for the extra 39 seconds of time of workload. but wait a second. would it run a bit faster because of the 16gb memory upgrade? I know on the pc. if you move to 16gb of memory. you see a boost in performance some. Makes me wonder if this is true for the iMac.

Would love to know how SSD will be affected after 2 years of work. Sure it depends on the user how much the user is copying data but if the SSD life will be seriously shorter after 2 years then the 2 years old iMac with M1 chip will have very little value.

@GregsGadgets can you comment on this? I've had this question for a while. Especially with the new "unified" memory, how does SSD life factor in?

HI Greg thank you, you seem to be the only one on YouTube that can operate the new 24” iMac, the others can only do the unboxing while waiting to copy yourself and others that can use Apple products, once again many thanks for your videos.👍

Thanks this is a very useful video, the only thing that bothers me is the Ethernet so looks like the base model for me.

Just got home a few hours ago from the Apple store Christmas shopping for my 13 year old daughter. I was feeling buyers remorse purchasing the 8 GPU model instead of the cheaper 7 GPU model. Not by choice I should add. Apple did not have the cheaper version available in stock. After watching this video the buyers remorse is gone. Proper heat dissipation is crucial to electronics. In my opinion it is wiser to spend the extra $200 and have a longer lasting machine. Thanks again. Great video. 👍🏼

The base level is basically the desktop version of the M1 MBA, and the mid-tier is the M1 MBP.

Isn’t the 8 core also in the long run a better investment when upgrades come along?

On a sad note: This just shows how impatient society has become! But apart from that, great video. I just bought the base model. I only use it for Microsoft office, Dropbox and my study website. So I don’t need much. So excited to get it!!!! 😍😍😍

Great and informative. thanks. I'm not a developer and I won't be editing films. I Zoom everyday, use Word for writing, and watch films. Do you think the entry level model is enough? Zooming really makes my mac laptop get hot after a while.

Ironically I’m probably better off with an iPad. The more I look at the options the more I realise how much I don’t need a computer for. Maybe the iPad Pro 12.9 instead. Interesting video

The performance and the throttling itself isn’t the biggest issue of the cooling solution,but the fact that the base model iMac also is running way hotter than the upgraded version, and that may hurt the longevity of the iMac.

Great explanation between the 2 models. I can make an informed decision with the info you provided

The big problem for me is not the number of ports The big problem for me is not the Ethernet port situation The big problem for me is not the 7-core GPU The big problem for me is not the difference in thermal design The biggest problem for me is that I prefer a Touch ID keyboard with Numpad

Thank you so much! I’ll get the higher level one, especially because of the student discount Apple offers. This was very helpful.

what will happened if you update the ram in base imac to his top versus the upgraded without extra ram? this is imporant for big graphic design proyects.

Good stuff, thanks for your time and detailed analysis

I’m considering buying one but I think it’ll be more of a downgrade for me. I can video edit, photo edit, and stream at the same time w/ my current self built pc.

Just read the base model only has one fan with thermal paste while the upgraded model has 2 fans and a thermal pipe. This explains why some reviewers report a loud fan on the lower model and others report quiet fans on the upgraded model.

This thing is nice, but I can't do 24" anymore. I've been spoiled by the glory that is a 32" monitor. I guess an M1 Mini would be the way to go for me.

32 inch monitor as desktop? Or do you mean mounted on a wall? I have 42 inch tv in my small house in Surrey but 24 inches standard for monitors my son has two next to each other and has told me I’m wrong his pc running windows is great and has several graphics cards and a cpu to beat everything and I don’t understand RAM which I thought I did and basically his pc knocks pants off everything else as he and a mate put it together … Personally I think it looks messy like his room 🧐 he has his desktop littered with hundreds and hundreds of apps. You don’t want to know what his bedroom floor looks like some days…..like a sock party Although he did say this iMac 24 looked cute and checked spec and said it would be fine for me…..that translates as it’s useless for gaming but I can watch YouTube videos to my hearts content and edit a bit of amateur video content

Little remind, gpu, cpu, ram, ssd.... they are all in the same chip and not separately so they share resources. I mean that i doubt very much the final result of the cinebench is because of the one fan... in the base model you will have a little less performance in cpu because of the gpu. I think the lack of fan "problems" will appears when you use the imac for long time with these kind of apps.

I’ve been weeks seeing videos to guide me to take the choice between these two and this was the best video I’ve been looking for 🤝🤝🤝 excellent job !!!

Ordered the higher priced one in orange today. Got the port adapter, and a CD/DVD writer. Replacing my old 2010 iMac. Best Buy told me it was worth $0 in trade. So, I'm keeping it.

Good review,really appreciated for your time and effort.

Bought base with upgraded RAM and storage. Exported videos from apple photos for several hours straight. Fan never spun and case was cooler than body temperature. Previous pre retina iMac took hours where this takes minutes, all while loudly blowing hot air like a space heater. Then would crash due to overheat. Previous iMac was a total dud. Relieved this one can do what it does. Will be putting it through it’s paces in logic soon. The upgraded iMac should come with 16 gb RAM by default and cost slightly more imho. Not enough differentiation.

A useful clarification and refresher on the differences. I'm not sure about anyone else but I really don't like face ID, Touch ID, and all that kind of stuff. I don't see touch ID as something to make my life easier but regard it as something a bit creepy and sinister. It is making my life harder when there is one more thing I have to avoid using. Can the touch ID be disabled if you get the middle or high-end iMac? Can you use a pin or password instead?

Of course, you can use a password as well. Remember though this isn't a Google product, your information is only stored locally inside the secure enclave.

Thanks for the video and confirming my thoughts. I tried clicking on your Amazon links for the docking station and the iMac but it doesnʻt seem to be working for me.

I almost pulled the plug on the base model an hour ago! Seriously thanks a lot for the video.

thank you for the comparison. I couln’t find the 16gb M1 in any of the stores, and was so close to just say forget it and buy the 8gb one. But now, I’m gonna wait and order it from the apple store instead. 😂 my purse thanks you.

Another possibility is that the 7 core GPU chip version of the M1 is a lower binned CPU that can't keep up a sustained high clock speed

No the issue is that cheaper iMac has no heatpipe :(

thanks.. I am a basic user but I want my machine to last as long as possible. My thought is that the improved cooling on the upper their mac will enable the machine to last longer. I'm still running a 2013 iMac 27 and it's just now getting glitchy since it will not update to big Sur.

Same on both counts! I also wonder if better cooling improves durability and am also just feeling the need to replace my 2013 27" iMac. (I'll be turning my 2013 iMac into a streaming video Netflix/Hulu device for my study.) Waiting for the M-chip (M2?) 27 inch expected later this year (fingers crossed!).

@heeler just heeler a 27 ince would be nice, I have very poor eyesight and the larger screen really helps me out. Hopefully at WWDC they will announce

seems like both are ok with video editing, but how about 3D render? Is Imac 2021 can do good in 3D modeling?

The base iMac is being throttled back in the CPU speed because of the poor thermals. 1 fan can't cut it in CPU intensive apps. For casual use it's ok.

Brilliant video. Pleased I went for the higher spec model now!

Thanks, man. Your review changed my perspective about this computer and some of the other product reviewers.

Newbie question: If I can only upgrade ONE item on my next M1 iMac: should I get a 16GB Ram, or get a 8-core GPU? I'm not a hardcore gamer but I do play LoL, DOTA2, Heros of the Storm occasionally, but i rarely do any video editing. And of course I do streaming and I usually have more than 10 open tabs on my browsers all the times. So what should I spend my extra $200 on? RAM or 8-core GPU?

The cooling system info was very informative! Thanks for that! I can't imagine going back to 8 GB of RAM no matter which version of the iMac one gets. Even my poor old 2013 iMac has 16 GB while my 2013 Macbook has 8 - and the difference is huge. 8 GB feels very, well, 2013. (In either case, dang, I need some new Macs!) "Bedhead" > "well groomed," i.e., mega Brylcreem, Greg!

Sigh Dude, the new Apple Silicon Unified Memory in Macs is _not_ the same as it was for Intel Macs. Many reviewers are saying that 8GB unified is a lot like 16GB RAM with Intel. You need to think more like how Apple has done memory with iPhone and iPad which has always been far less than with Android even as little as 1-2GB - but they perform even better than Android devices.

@Mamo Fine, perhaps even fair. But in 3 years, will you still say the same on the 8 vs 16 GB? When I first got 8 on my Macbook it was fine, too and the 16 GB iMac felt a bit overkill. It wasn't long before that was no longer the case. (And, really, "Sigh"? Oh, the suffering of the all-knowing. Geez.)

@heeler just heeler It's an _entry-level_ Mac. Based on the previous gen Macs. Makes a lot of sense to keep it that way and not pour a lot of money into an entry-level device that works absolutely fine as is with the most basic cheapest version. You can't usually say that about some other entry-level devices. Especially previous versions of Intel Macs. In 3 years when the M2X or M3 or whatever is out with the new next-gen designs and features you'll be glad that you saved money 3 years previously. Money that you can now use towards something that is all new and improved probably in all ways and surely something you'll probably want anyway, even though you have a 16GB version of a 3 year old entry-level Mac.

I have the 8 GPU model with 16 GB Ram. Love it! It’s worth the extra $200 to me.

When you add the additional memory it’s another $250 cad or $200 on top of the price difference between the base 7 core gpu snd 8 core gpu iMac. Or exactly $200 difference as you implied.

Mine was 3k ish it’s has the upgraded specs and magic , track pad and keyboard with fingerprint it’s the first computer I have ever owned it’s my work computer otherwise I would’ve gotten base model everything it would’ve been around 1700 with insurance and tax

Well, so far you made the best video for my need with the right questions for my choice! Well done!

It’s not about the fan, it’s about the extra gpu core

Even if you get the Higher End I-Mac with 4 ports, adding a docking station or hub can get you even more ports for external drives, flash drives, printers, scanners, external CD/DVD/Blu-Ray devices and a Wacom Tablet. I still want the larger I-Mac, but if I had gone with a 24 inch, I would have maxed it up to 16 GB and a 2TB Drive. I have wireless, and don't for see using an Ethernet I will pass on that. You mentioned "Clean My Mac", I wonder if there is a Clean my I-Pad, or I-Phone version of that app. When I do get my M1X I-Mac or Mac Book Pro, or a Mac Pro (if they come out with one like the Cube), I will get that app, "Clean My Mac".

“Clean My Mac” not necessary.

What an excellent excellent excellent video. Literally there’s nothing else I wish you had covered

Great video Greg! Informative and to the point!

Thank you 🙏

Thanks mate; awesome video, well informed 🙌

When watching a bunch of tech videos in a row it‘s funny to see the different acting approaches of all the hosts/presenters/reviewers. A common humorous theme seems to be the „oops.. awkward comment/question/moment while actually only talking to a camera“ schtick. 😃

Thank you, Greg. This was very informative.😀

Is upgrading to 16gb what adds the additional fan feature? The website isn't very clear on that

Great info. I had already decided on the higher end iMac, but your video helped me see that I'm making the right decision.

What are you buying then?

Hi and thank you for your vidéo. I have a 2011 21,5 iMac and i'm very interested to buy the new iMac M1. I go to use it for running Ableton 10, DavinciResolve (only Gopro vidéos) and more classic stuff. What do you think, IMac M1 base or the second one ? Sorry for my English (i'm French). Thanks !

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT AND ENTERTAINING REVIEW!!! 💯

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Is there a difference in the fan noise between the two models? Thanks

a quite thorough review, thanks.

i got the 7 core version with 16gb ram and touch id for 1549$ while the 1499$ will have 8gb so did I make a right choice?

I plan on getting the highest model $1699, with the track pad and the bigger keyboard, 16gb and 1TB of storage. It’s gonna come in handy when I start nursing school in the fall!

Take a tip from someone who used to spend all their money on the latest and best tech - its not worth it. Buy the minimum spec you are happy with and put the extra cash away for your future. Tech gets obsolete too fast, having money never goes out of fashion.

@Jane Smith I need it for nursing school, I need the extra storage. I only buy Apple products! I ordered it and pick it up in August!

Are you sure that the 8gb ram isn't enough for longer video edits? Could the "slowness" be attributed towards the lower-end model? You rally didn't explain what happened and I'd really like to know.

I know I'm probably gonna get hate but someone here could answer this question... I am wondering about purchasing an imac (does not need to be newest) and using it as my main desktop in my home office (for play), and also be able to use it as a monitor extension for my work laptop that is windows 10. Any feedback on how to do this or if it's even possible would be super duper helpful!

I love your videos man! Keep it up!

I feel so much better now. I’m a photographer and all I use my Mac for is Lightroom, photoshop, and the internet. I’ve had the 21.5in I Mac since 2017, 8GB and I think a shitty intel processor? Well they told me I could come in and they could put more memory/Ram in -32gb for $400. WELP. Apparently that’s not the case and $1700 later a new 16gb Mac is being mailed to me. Honestly I was super freaking pissed at my Mac lol. I was new to photography when I bought it and didn’t know how much space LR and PS. This video lessened the blow. Importing exporting editing all of it has been a nightmare the last couple years…I’m just so stubborn with parting with the cash. You helped me feel better, than you. Also you have a very pleasant persona and voice to listen to, and are very knowledgeable- I will subscribe now :)

Excellent video with all the information you need to make the right choice.

Thank you 🙏
