An iMac is a device you buy for the next 5-10 years and since I’m mostly happy with my 2017 revision, I’m pretty sure its successor will look better than this... childish model.I wonder how many customers are going to continue buying the inferior Intel model only due to the sheer ugliness of the new one.
Or to get far more RAM, storage options, eGPU support [Downgrade to Catalina] and even better on-board GPU support to work with much larger workflows that the 16GB unified cannot manage.I wonder how many customers are going to continue buying the inferior Intel model only due to the sheer ugliness of the new one.
What is this next year crap? I thought the general sentiment was WWDC or at least sometime in 2021? Did I miss something?
Which is why we don't have cool androids following us around, and instead of just tiny pieces of soulless hardware.Technology should never be heavier or bulkier than it absolutely needs to be. This holds true for just about everything, from phones to televisions to PCs.
This just a personal suspicion? Or do you think they are saving unveiling pro-level machines at WWDC? Think higher-end iMac, mac pro mini, etc. etc.Apple overshot their estimations in making progress on much larger scale unified memory SoC designs and have to punt for another 12-18 months. They jumped the shark.

That's way too optimistic. If that were correct and these launch by the end of the year, that would leave what? All of 2022 for Apple to update just the Mac Pro to complete the transition?M1X for iMac Pro & MacBook Pro (16") coming WWDC?
I want colors. Not those dull, washed-out and boring pastel colors. To me, those colors are the opposite of fun.Fun is fun and let people have colors if they want them of course
I always figured that those looking for it to look “different” just grew up during those years where Apple was working TOWARDS this point. Now that they are here, not much else to do, but those folks still want to see change. I mean from the gumdrop, to the pixar light is huge compared to today.Timeless beauty.

Accessory makers, you have your task!!I want colors. Not those dull, washed-out and boring pastel colors. To me, those colors are the opposite of fun.
I took the 2 year transition to mean every Mac on Apple Silicon by Fall 2021 and Mac Pro Summer of 2022 (less than 2 years) but the Mac Pro to be what really comes way after every other Mac.Well considering Apple has said 2 year transition, and we now see that they've updated every device that they get away with including the M1, I presume we're gonna have to wait a while before we see Pro level machines. iMac Pro, MacBooks Pro, Mac Pro...my assumption is these will be M1X or M2 powered and are a long way off. 6 more months until MBP's, 12 months until iMac Pro, 18 months until Mac Pro. If I had to guess based on how this is going.
That's way too optimistic. If that were correct and these launch by the end of the year, that would leave what? All of 2022 for Apple to update just the Mac Pro to complete the transition?
Nov '21 - 14" and 16" MBP Pro.
Early '22 - iMac Pro
Late '22 - Mac Pro
The 2012 non-Retina Macbook Pro 13'' was on sale for many, many years at $899(?) on the official store, and I personally know people who purchased it in 2015. You will not be disappointed.I wonder how many customers are going to continue buying the inferior Intel model only due to the sheer ugliness of the new one.
Questions for the base model iMac:These are much nicer looking models.
My large public university has gone M1. M1s are very competitively priced, and we only get 16 gb ram models.FWIW, some education market contracts have required machines to be available for "X" number of years. They almost always linger so they can be easily replaced as needed. Do not see many schools adopting M1 short term unless they suddenly have budget increases.
If it is for the average person, then it should have been priced at $999 at least. $1299 won’t sell for me.I agree, but I am giving them a pass for now. this is the mass-produced, consumer version. there is nothing pro or even prosumer about this machine. will have to wait for the next rev of the M1, whenever that is
Dang - I was going to upgrade my Late 2015 iMac Retina 5K with something faster and nicer - I certainly don't want to get a smaller screen. I have to think any new 27"+ iMac is going to have an M1X or M2 chip - since these new computers all come with a chip that came out in 2020, I am going to let my 27" chug along another year.Honestly, if I really needed a new one right now I would go for the current 27", not the new one, I would be embarrassed if that was on my desk.
