Apple Announces Redesigned iMac With M1 Chip and Seven Color Options

[Joniz]

Let me see if I can fix those borders with a roll of black electrical tape.

 

[Caliber26]

Why white though. Makes the whole bezel even more stand out. Should have just used the same color as the iMac itself for the chin

Yes! I’d be happy if the bezels and chin matched the same material and color as the back. These new iMacs are reminding me of the ugliest Nano ever made.

 

[eric89074]

Oh god these are going to have 8GB of RAM standard aren't they?

 

[telo123]

Can you at least adjust the RAM to be more than 16 GB? That's my main question here lol

 

[SWAON]

I think it's clear they need to rethink their marketing strategy and they just alienated a ton of Apple users they forgot about the market where the folks have been using the products for years they put this iPad on a stand and called it a computer.

No, it's not even an iPad, it's a ChinPad on stick, for our pleasure.

It’s very sad that this is how you choose to get your rocks off. Go find something you enjoy and direct your energy towards that instead. Who knows, you might find happiness.

ROFLMAO...thanks armchair psychiatrist.

 

[Antes]

👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 I’m fine with the chin but those white bezels are atrocious.

 

[alexandr]

My guess is the M1 isn't powerful enough to satisfy 27" iMac buyers. Only 16GB of RAM for one thing. I would guess a 30" or whatever size will come with the M2 chip.

yea, what a drag. i had higher hopes for the imac announcement...

 

[nathansz]

um, 24"? that's it? or are they giving us a second size option?..

that will come with the new chips in june

 

[AppliedMicro]

Where's the Matte black model?

Only on the yet-to-come iMac Pro.

 

[n0va]

i actually really like these designs. not perfect and i kinda wished it wouldn't have a chin but i still really like it

 

[telo123]

Who thought white bezels would be a good thing ... my god lol

 

[dazzer21-2]

All the YouTubers who were hyping up the 32" M1X being announced today will be feeling a bit silly now! I think this is pretty poor, really. It just looks unremarkable. The current iMac has a bit of character about it, you know what you're looking at the moment you see it. This is just a generic screen with an M1 chip in a naff colour! The wait wasn't worth it. They should have launched this with the other M1s.

Does it really have an external power supply? when has that ever been the case for a Mac desktop?🤯

The G4 Cube from back in 2000 had a (much larger) external brick. Likewise some of the early minis.

 

[WLSON]

Nevermind.

 

[Spike1999]

Where's the Matte black model?

What's up with the Chin?

It’s where the circuit board, chip etc are now located.

 

[Loyola]

Think the same - refurbed MacMini with the LG 27 5k monitor. I do like the iMacs though. Getting new iPad Pro 12.9 and ATV for sure.

I have just about everything I need for the mini - 2 monitors (older but work), keyboard and mouse. All i need is one more monitor adapter.

 

[Devnul0]

Everyone's saying this is a mainstream device to justify the lame-sized 24" display and M1 with its limitations, but how much of the mainstream even buys desktop computers any more rather than laptops or even iPads instead?

Personally, I was really looking forward to finally replacing my 2012 Mac Pro, and it's not going to be with one of these toy iMacs. I have an M1 MBP and I know what it can do. It's a fantastic machine but inadequate for my desktop production needs.

 

[Alwis]

Now I am happy to be a user of the last i9 maxed out imac27

Exactly what I was thinking, this machine disappointed me in every possible aspect.

 

[pdmpolishing]

Just use a USB-C to Ethernet adapter!

And it's 2021. If you still have USB-A stuff, use a simple adapter.

The ethernet connection is in the power brick.

 

[m1maverick]

Did they finally do away with the spinner for the entry model

 

[HiRez]

This seems like a bridge machine with a new design that just uses the same M1 chip from last year's MacBooks? So I'm assuming "8 cores" actually means 4 of them are efficiency cores, and I'm also assuming it maxxes out at 16 GB RAM? That's too bad, will be a great machine for a lot of people but still not a great replacement for higher-end configs or iMac Pro.

Looking forward to a 30" iMac with 8-12 performance cores, 16 GPU cores, and at least 64 GB RAM option. Hopefully next year.

 

[telo123]

I'll stick with my Mac LG 24" Ultrafine

 

[wyarp]

God damn you Apple..... you're going to make us wait for the larger 27/30" version for a black/space grey colour aren't you... aren't you!?!

 

[alexandr]

that will come with the new chips in june

i must have missed the new processor talk. good to know — thanks!
