In Germany I still cannot configure the new iMac (I think this counts for whole Europe) - it says, ordering is possible at the midth of may. So I don‘t know the exact possible features. But I guess there will be no performance and configuration difference to the M1 MacBook, right? Except two more USB ports and those funky colors and a bigger display. I belong to those, who like the new design, but I guess I will wait for the M1X/M2 iMac, because I already bought the M1 MacBook Pro with 16gb and I am really happy - first Mac and do not regret it. 👍😎

This is a great guide. But what do you think about buying a top spec'd 16" M1 MacBook Pro right now compared to waiting for a top spec'd iMac later this year? Will need to change up my workstation soon, as after effects and photoshop is struggling on my late 2013 mac pro.

@@hakonmarcus I would not recommend buying a 16” right now since we’ll get more powerful Apple silicon ones soon that will be icy more power efficient (better battery life) and cheaper too. Buy an M1 MacBook Air (on sale with our link in description) and resell it when the new 16” comes out you’ll loose barely any money where 16” ones will dump in price as soon as new ones come out.

I just recently decided to buy myself a desktop and was doing loads of research and I have to say this is, by far, the most complete guide on the topic. Thank you!

My 2017 iMac was getting long in the tooth and I was going to buy an M1 iMac. I knew I would be bothered by the smaller screen size so in the end I got a 27" LG Ultrafine monitor and connected it to my M1 Air. So far very pleased. It even has an integrated 1080P camera.

My experience with 8GB RAM on M1: if you type of person who does 1 heavy task app, in this case, I work on heavy illustrator and photoshop files, running 10+ tabs in the browser, also Spotify, and few small apps in the background, definitely will experience sluggish, I recommend you to choose 16GB ram. 8GB is fine if you do 1 heavy task/app only at one time.

Big mistake

Great job. You provide a wonderful service to the "non-techies" and "mild-techies" in the crowd providing great balance to all the "hype". I'm finally upgrading my late-2014 27" 5K iMac with the fusion drive (I think it is about to "time-out" on full updates to MacOS due to its elderly age). It has been a "bulletproof" machine for me, although the performance has always been kinda slow for high-performance uses. So, I "pulled the trigger" and just finished ordering the orange 16GB/1TB model with the numeric Touch Id keyboard. I do a lot of photo editing and a bit of video, so the great hi-def screen has always been a joy, and now there will be the processing power and speed to support these and all my other use cases. I probably could have/should have stayed with the 8GB/512GB choices, but I wanted to "future-proof" the machine and could afford it. Sounds like others in your comments are thinking the same way. Also got the 13" MacBook Air 8/8/512 in December and am thrilled with it, so I'm really looking forward to the same type of blazing performance on my "big machine". I honestly do not see the need to wait for the new M1X version for my use case.

Thanks for the awareness of how to get more ports, appreciated.

Thanks for the clarifications. Excellent video. Right on!

This is so helpful and straight to the point thank you!!!!!

Incredebly well explained! Goood work! Thankyou!

What I'm interested in is sustained performance of the iPad pro m1 and fan speeds and temps of the m1 iMac.

Very thoughtful advice ..thanks 👍👍

Good video. As a casual user the only thing I upgraded was the keyboard with the touch feature. Well worth the money especially when it comes to passwords etc since I use about fifteen different combinations. I have the blue color which is very nice. My order left Shanghai China on 7/15 and arrived by Fedex on 7/17 before noon. Incredible. The only issue I had was the power cord unit had scratches so Apple is sending me a new one. Also Apple support can be a pain sometimes.

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Yellow iMac looks the best in any interior. Was put off of it at initial launch, but now it’s the only colour I consider!

Thanks for the content and info on the new 24inch IMacs....So is the wait worth waiting for the larger replacement of the 27 Inch 5k IMac with the new apple chips or are the intel IMacs an ideal buy for creative professionals because of the ability to add more ram etc?

Very good review, thank you

Do you edit these yourself? Fantastic professional job( in addition to the great content!)

Great recommendation! Spot on

Replacing my late 2015 iMac after years of waiting for a new design (and personally I LOVE the new design). Mine is a yellow (my favourite colour is gold, and I was hoping for one but yellow will do) M1 8-core, 16GB RAM, gigabit ethernet, Two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports and Two USB 3 ports, 1TB SSD storage, Magic Mouse and Keyboard with Touch ID. Cannot wait for it.

ive read somewhere that you are only allowed to plug in 1 external monitor on your imac. this might also be a very important factor for people who normally work with 3 screens

I ordered my new iMac today! I wish I watched this video beforehand!

Great video! Just the kind of reassurance I needed to justify my recent purchase. 👍

Super helpful guide! I think I'm going with the professional use option because I do a lot of music production and video/photo editing. Thanks!

thanks so much! you have helped me tremendously!

very nicely explained

Good observations here! Thanks. With respect to RAM, since it’s just a one-time-only $200 expense, I’d definitely get 16GB. If it were an on-going cost (hypothetically, $10/month) that might be different. Perhaps it’s a question of how long you intend to keep it. If you plan to get a new Mac every year, then it effectively becomes an on-going expense. For me though, spending an extra $200 once every 5 years is no biggie.

The base iMac is the only version shipping every RAM, storage, and color options on launch day. Every other module has multiple colors with shipment delayed to mid June. The iPad Pro has also slipped to mid July and will likely be August by a week from now.

Thanks for the guide tho I barely used it 😂 lol. I've ordered the 8-Core CPU & GPU model, with 1TB Storage, 16GB RAM, and Numeric Magic Keyboard (with Touch ID), in the awesome Blue colour. I'm a law student, so maybe not a 'Professional User' as per your standards, but when I write my Research Papers or Essays or Articles, my Macs [which have always have had only 8GB RAM] ALWAYS used Swap cause my RAM would run out, and then stutter and lag [which I absolutely hate. Thanks Intel]. This time my father snapped on me and 'ordered' that I buy 16 gigs of RAM. Nice video btw. Timestamps are always appreciated. Super excited cause this will replace my 2013 27' iMac.

Since this video was uploaded, there is another difference between the base model and the higher cost models. The base model only sports a single fan and the more expensive models include additional heat dissipation "plumbing". More recent KZread Videos give details, my understanding of the summary is that the base model may have more fan noise and will for sure slow it's performance when heavy CPU activity is sustained - similar to the base M1 Air comparison to the M1 Pro Macbook. So, as concluded, the casual user will do well with the base model, but if one is going to be doing any significant and sustained activity (Xcode, Games, significant Applications translated into client based WebApps, or Pro Editing), the $200.00 includes the visible upgrades (ethernet, 2 USB-3 ports and increased color choices) becomes a bargain, IMHO.

Thanks for the great video...... These 24" iMac's are great for many users but, as a video editer I'm not impressed by them as well as the fruity colors. I am however, glad to hear from you that there are plans on a bigger iMac in the near future. I'm sure those will be more aimed for us video/music editors. Thanks again for another awesome video. 👍😊

As a college student I have a MBP and iPad Pro so I have and love the portability but I wanted a more at home solution without the use of docs on my laptop so I pulled the trigger and bought the mid tier silver iMac

I wish the purple one came in the base model but it doesn’t! I had to order the $1499 version in purple. Can’t wait! It’s a birthday gift to myself! I’m upgrading from a 2009 MacBook Pro...

Thanks bro..... it’s help me lots .....

Blue (‘cos silver wasn’t available when I first tried to order), 8+8, 16G, 1Tb. I plan on keeping this 10 years like the 2011 machine it’ll replace and didn’t want to regret running limiting spec now. I’ll forget spending the extra cash soon enough ;)

Hi Max, I love your video. I am a professional opera singer recording at home using an UAD Apollo x4 and their Luna workstation. I using their Shape to do some song writing as well using some strings, piano, trumpets ect - I do use 3th party plug ins from Izotope, fabfilter and of course of UAD for my vocal recording. For my own recordings I mainly use 2 tracks orchestra or piano and add the voxal - so as you see I am not using a lot of tracks but do use heavy plug ins of Izotope and 1 reverb from UAD capital chambers (maybe you've heard of these things - Now, about the computer. I am using now a Imac late 2013 - 8 G - 256 SSD -- It does the recordings good although when I am composing and use midi round 8 tracks + 2 vocals and add the Izotope mastering plug in the computer starts to stutter....This is a late 2013 Imac and I am certain it cannot be compared to the Imac 2021 --- my question is: if I would buy the imac 8 - 8 - 512 - would that be enough or do I really need the 16G _ I asked the store but they not know anything about professional music stuff - and they said I can't return the computer if it is not working - plus, even if I want to upgrade as you mentioned that is also not possible. Hope you know something about Universal audio and Luna and Izotope to help me for my kind of use on my way.. Thanks in advance

Thanks for your tips on the 8 mistakes. I think I did okay except for the Ram. I was using my new iMac with 8GB Ram. While on Zoom going in and out of breakout rooms as the host, my computer crashed. I did have a couple of other apps open, like Outlook and Google. I still have time to exchange it since I only bought it a couple of days ago. Do you think the *MG of Ram is the culprit?

Hi MaxTech, I currently have a 2013-vintage Core i5 21.5-inch iMac, 8 GB RAM, 1.0 TB HDD running MacOS Sierra. I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse via USB-A RF adaptor. In the past, I would occasionally plug in a FireWire 800 external HDD as a scratch disk when running Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP 7) using a FireWire to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor, and also another adaptor to plug in my FireWire camcorders (I have a Canon HDV 'corder and an older MiniDV 'corder) to access my old tape stock. The only newer cams I currently have are a GoPro Session 4 and an iPad Mini 2. I am currently kicking around the idea of replacing my 21.5-inch iMac with a new M1 iMac or waiting for the 14-inch M1X MacBook Pro (which would add power, ports and portability but also require I buy an external monitor for my desk setup). I'm intrigued by the hubs you showed in this video, but I'm also concerned about finding a way to connect to my older camcorders. Software I often use: Microsoft Office, Demo LabelWriter, Apple iWork, Apple iWeb (still using it to put up some web pages), Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, InDesign, Illustrator). I still have iPhoto installed on my iMac, which I consider to be superior to Photos. I use Photos and hate it. iPhoto had vastly superior searching abilities. I'm frustrated there. For still photos, I use a Canon Digital Rebel T3, a Canon pocket camera, and smartphones. (Thinking about buying a "renewed" iPhoto 8 off Amazon.) I am also intrigued by the possibility of installing Windows 10 for ARM on a newer Apple Silicon Mac so I can use Microsoft Access, Publisher (people occasionally send me Publisher files), AutoCAD and other Windows-only GPS/GIS software.

I mainly will use this for editing my KZread videos (nothing fancy) and my photos on lightroom. What is the best choice for me? It’s so hard to choose!

Cool guide! still holding off until the larger iMac comes out, and M1 starts to be dev-friendly (hopefully in black?)

Awesome video! Thinking about a mid tier imac. But might wait for the 27inch imac ....hmmm exciting

i decided to get the mac mini and use my monitor from work in the meantime. Im definitely gonna wait and see for the even better imac coming out but I hope it doesnt take too to announce and hopefully isnt absurdly huge

I like the SSD shown in this video. My question is, can I use a thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 cable with all current external devices? Both my macs currently have thunderbolt 2. If that won't work, then I could get a SATA SSD and put it in my SATA to USB 3.0 enclosure.

I have a lot of photos and my old MacBook pro is full. I have spend so much time trying to take photos out of my photo-library manually and is tired of how it works/I set it up. So when I buy the new imac I need a better solution to my storage (either 2tb or an external storage). So: 1. Is it possible to use the external drive you mention as the primary place to have the photos/library 2. If so, does it work as good as if I had saved it on the Mac itself? 3. How do I then make backup? 4.can I later move the photos to another Mac (plug and play) or? Thx for a really great channel for tech-I tested like me, but with limited knowledge ☺️

I ordered the iMac as soon as preorders went live but because I was rushing I didn’t realize you could upgrade the keyboard (I’m a numpad guy) until after I ordered. Had to cancel and reorder and I went from an estimated delivery date of 3 weeks to 4-5 weeks. Had I watched this sooner, I would’ve realized I could upgrade the keyboard a little earlier and maybe would’ve been able to keep the same delivery time. But oh well. Ended up getting the silver, 16gb ram (for photo work), and decided to opt for 1tb ssd.

going to wait for the m1x

I love KZread ads I got a food one when I am fasting. truly amazing

Thank you.

I was originally going to buy the new iMac, but I started reading around and some articles mentioned it was cheaper to go with a Mac mini and just getting a 4k display. That's what I ended up doing. I got two 28' 4k displays plus a Mac mini, and it was only $1,300. Already have a magic keyboard and Magic Mouse from my old MacBook Pro that I'm trading in, so I'm not missing out on many of the accessories. I do wish my keyboard had the Touch ID, but the second monitor is more important to me than the Touch ID keyboard. Plus, if I have to upgrade in the future, a new Mac mini is going to be cheaper than a brand new iMac.

It's also the most boring one. Sure you miss some resell options but you need only one to sell it to and I really like some color/taste in my environment. I think I'll go for green or blue but I'm waiting for the extended reviews and experiences.

Ssd storage can be extended ... I’ll be keeping it constantly connected

Thanku

one question: if 2-3 users would be simultaneously logged in with their own programs (browser tabs, word processor, pdfs, presentations etc) open, is 8 GB memory still enough? And also, I plan to use iMac for 5-7 years, would 8 GB memory still be enough down the line?
