@nb: "The closer I look at these new 24 inch iMacs, the more I realize how great they are. Fantastic product design. Also happens to be a pretty great deal considering the display quality and tech inside. I would buy one in a second if I had room in my house for a non-work computer."
Was very curious and went and got one, and yes, you were right
- 8/8 cores, 16GB, 512SSD faster than imac 27" and MBP pro 16" both intel and with double the specs (tons of tabs open, Figma desktop with dozen of huge files, Adobe CC, affinity, maybe 10-12 apps open all zero lag, and this is considered consumer line)
- design - only the silver one is serious enough for a designer and if you have your desk not against the wall, you can marvel at it 360* (thin as an iphone ffsake!)
- screen image = wow
- screen size 24" vs 27" imac = you forget the 27" size after half hour of usage (also a trick, if you make the dock size smaller, the actual screen size feels bigger)
- ports = 4, but you need an extra hub for serious usage
bonus: zero fan noise (fans at 2500/6000 most of the times)
that's about it, waiting for the new M2 macbook pros and no more upgrades for at least 3 years
- @monospaced fuck your Mini + extra monitor! You basically can carry around the imac 24 wherever you go********
- Disagree @ screen size. 24" feels like a laptop screen after you are used to 27".section_014
- indeed I had them close to each other, the 27 is def bigger, but after you're left with only the 24 on your desk, you forget the 27 real quick********
- also another thing worth mentioning, I have no clue what external monitor to get if needed, the 24 is 4.5K while normal monitors are 4K or 5K********
- You were JUST saying that it’s a better bet to wait for the M3 next year, because this is just entry level first gen model.monospaced
- Also +1monospaced
- @monospaced I was NOT hostile towards YOU, just thinking your proposal of Mini + external monitor is crap. And yes, I was wrong on the M3, buthat would be ideal********
- Imean I needed new machines now, but waiting for the M3 or whatever would've been the smart choice if you can wait********
- Guyz - just wait for M10'sshapesalad
- @shape even better!********
- #monospaced seriously, get one if you want, it was around 1800 euros and beats Intel $3K-4K setups in performance********
- #shape but seriously no, M10 would mean 10 years forward and we are hitting transistor shrinking limits********
- I never said anything about a mini and monitor being better lol.monospaced
- nor did I mention hostility. In fact you started talking about me here out of nowheremonospaced
- Np just making sure we're not fighting anymore, cool?********
- you came out with the "fuck your Mac mini..." bit, which is confusing, because I never suggested that and it felt very unnecessarily aggressive.monospaced
- You have me confused with someone else. I never proposed a Mac mini + monitor. I said a Pro level machine in a Mac mini case would be great for video editors.monospaced
- And I would bet that Apple agrees. https://9to5mac.com/…monospaced
- I know that most video editors would love it, as I happen to know a ton of them ,and that's what they talk about being ideal.monospaced
- I didn't mentioned video on this iMac 24, cuz I know videographers need much more powerful machines, maybe the next iMac Pro?********
- and I didn’t recommend a mini and a monitor!monospaced
- Except oblast year when I imagined a pro version for video pros, which you absolutely shit on for no good reason anyone could conceive ofmonospaced
- @monospaced fuck your Mini + extra monitor! You basically can carry around the imac 24 wherever you go
