I didn't realize that the 27-inch iMac has been discontinued.
- yeah now you have to get the studio+display, and mess around with moving two items.shapesalad
- Because moving a monitor is a problem? Because people moved 27” iMacs regularly? Nope to both. Ridiculous argument.monospaced

Also, were there any benchmark specs provided for the new M1s that are easily comparable to the M1 Mac mini? Really curious to see how even the low end new one compares to what I've got.
- For now, you can compare this https://i.imgur.com/… to some of these: https://browser.geek…grafician
- you have this? https://browser.geek…grafician
- so single core is comparable, but multi core the new ones are over 3x better :))grafician

What USB-C / Thunderbolt / USB 3 or 4 external hard drives are you guys using?
On my Mac mini I have an external USB 2 hard drive that I primarily use for my working files in Logic Pro.
Are there any cheap 1TB USB 4 / Thunderbolt 3 drives out there? Seemed difficult to find them when I was searching yesterday.
Connections and Expansion
Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for:
DisplayPort
Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40 Gb/s)
USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s)
USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gb/s)
Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI, and VGA supported using adapters (sold separately)- i don't think any drives can write that fast (even m2 etc), i could be wrong but you're not going to gain any speed over USB3kingsteven
- with a single external drive that is... I think SATA3 is <6Gbps - I imagine there's some folks using TB3 RAIDkingsteven
- Wow, i didn't realise external TB2 m2 raid enclosures exist https://www.tomshard…kingsteven

Those looking for a longer cord are in luck — at a price: a 1.8-meter version costs $129, and a three-meter version soon to be available will go for $159.

I wonder if it was a mistake to buy first gen M1.
I have Air since last summer, it crashes weekly. The screenshot happened after installing Monterey.Also Indesign has horrible bugs, text disappears, that might be Adobe's problem but even latest updates couldn't fix it.
Compatibility is still an issue with several apps.- If possible I'd have held off on Monterey (I still am since 10.3 reports haven't confirmed that all known bugs are fixed)evilpeacock
- Issues with Google or other third-party software aren't a huge surprise with a massive architecture transition either.evilpeacock
- As to InDesign, Adobe's last annual big CC version jump is only a couple months old, and as usual is still pretty buggy with many of their apps.evilpeacock
- Oops! Monterey is 12.2 as most current stable release, but I am also following 12.3 beta tester reporting.evilpeacock

Suddenly and out of the blue...my iMac started to freeze yesterday and I had to restart the machine a three different times. It happens when using Safari. Has anyone else recently experienced these mysterious system lock-ups?

- apple are not making a consumer car. The car is dead in 20 years time. They'll be making some sort of subscription monthly bleed your wallet taxi.shapesalad
- and when you get in the taxi with too much luggage it annoyingly sends you notifications to all your devices about upgrading for more storage.shapesalad
