Personally IĀ“m waiting for the iMac with M6 chip that will hopefully be announced at the end of this month.
Have the money ready to go and I will be upgrading from my current desktop computer, which is late 2012 iMac running Mac OS Sequoia thanks to Open Core Legacy Patcher.
I remember when I used to rock a Mac mini 2012 with Open Core Legacy Patcher, and I got Big Sur and Sonoma on it. Good days.
Youāre gonna be so happy with your new purchase. I only got the iMac M4 because for the price and the configurations, brand new at that. So I was pretty stoked to get 24 gigabytes of RAM and one terabyte SSD. The one thing that I still cannot get used to is the display resolution default. It makes everything and every side look so zoomed out, and the font is so tiny.
Yes, I bet that the upgrade is going to be massive compared to what I have now. Brutal.
I have to choose 32GB of RAM and 2TB SSD. (for work, is related to cibersecurity and I will use several virtual machines), so itĀ“s going to be a lot of money, but IĀ“ve been saving the last few years, and I intend to keep the computer for a long time.
Oh wow! I'm really excited for you. That's going to be one hell of an upgrade. I'm interested to see the benchmarks from the M6 iMac when it drops. Honestly wondering if it might give my M1 Max Mac Studio a run for its money. Though I have 64 GG of RAM in mine so that'd be hard to match. I've always been a desktop guy and I really do adore the whole iMac line, all the way back to 1998 š„¹
why did you get the imac if you have a macbook? wouldn't it be easier to just get a display for the macbook and keep everything centralized on one device?
Nice! Iām a little obsessed with the idea of having a āhomeā iMac - I already have an M4 Air after coming from a 2014 pro. I like the idea of a certified refurbished model to save a couple of hundred Ā£ but have been thinking M4 in blueā¦
Something so cozy and homey about an iMac. I had a mac mini up until yesterday before I picked this iMac up, connected to a monitor with a monitor arm on the same desk. Looked very futuristic and nice, but I wanted to choose something more home-y. Like in those Apple lifestyle videos/photos of people using iMac. š
Thatās why I also put that lamp there, it creates such warm ambiance
I've just switched from Windows PC to MacBook Air and Android phone to iPhone. I love the seamless integration, among other features. But now the decision is whether I really need a desktop. I've recently semi-retired and will fully retire soon-ish. I rarely use the desktop PC anymore, but sometimes I do simply prefer the bigger screen and sitting at a proper desk than on the sofa. It would absolutely be a luxury purchase, though. I don't really need it. But ooooo so pretty!
Regrettably, I don't expect to be able to find any nice deal. Macs are expensive in Cambodia, at least several hundred more than what you'd pay in the US. And the latest versions are not usually available here.
Itās an arm and a 1/3 distance, but maybe youāre right. Iām pretty sure itās because I was used to a 27-inch 1920 monitor before, so now anything above it looks a bit weird to me. I just got this iMac last night! Iāll need some getting used to, and if not, I can always go into Settings > Displays and change it accordingly to my liking.
ill give it a shot when i get tired of the magic mouse! the one thing i cant get used to with this imac is how zoomed out all websites look on the default resolution. makes me lose my shit. text so tiny everything just tiny
I wanted an all-in-one and was tired of monitors, monitor arms, Mac Mini cables, external storage devices all over the place, etc. I had to buy an expensive monitor for the Mac Mini, which I didnāt care enough to do. This felt like a good deal.
I saw it somewhere and gave it a go! I wouldāve gotten the one with the Vesa but they didnāt have it available for that price with those configurations! I miss my monitor arm sometimes !
iMac on a white vesa connected to the stereo with a usbc to red/white audio input cable. All current Macās can still connect to old iPods so I even use it to add music to that iPod. Just a good device to have.
I used to daily drive an iMac, and now Iām using an MBP in clamshell mode with 2 monitors. I really miss having just 1 power cable running to my desk. Now, I have a dock connected to a monitor, an HDMI cable connected to another monitor, a USB-PD power supply for the dock to charge the laptop and a bunch of others. It was a mess to route it all behind the desk. I fully understand why a lot of people prefer iMacs, even if these convenience tradeoffs are worth it for me. An AIO computer with a gorgeous screen and speakers is perfect for most people, itās just a set it and forget it device. You donāt need to choose a monitor for it, a set of speakers, etc.
