Apple Cuts Price of Nano-Texture Glass for 27-inch iMac to $300, Down From $500

tried and returned my iMac. I would have it even for free.

Well, that one can be configured with up to 128 GiB RAM. The M1 iMac only goes to 16.

That'll change with future ARM chips, I'm sure, but for now, that's a pretty big limitation.

I presume the iMac Pro and Mac Pro will have an M1X chip with large memory capacities.

Well, that's a lot more reasonable.

After yesterday's wonky iMac announcement I don't harbour much hope for a killer redesign on the larger models 🙁

I expect an identical design, just larger and with a darker color scheme.

That will depend on when they launch. But I see no reason to expect the M2 to be anything more than 32 GB.

It's official, I bought my last iMac in 2015. Next will be the Mini with a third party curved ultra wide. I'll certainly be saving a ton of money this way. Just need 10gig Ethernet and I'm there.

The M1 mini was updated yesterday with 10 Gb Ethernet.

But how exactly are you saving money? $1300 for a decently equipped mini, and then how much for a display? At least $1k to get into the range of something that competes with the iMac's display. That's way more than an iMac.

Priced to clear the stock!

MR, don’t you know articles about price reductions don’t get clicks?? 😂

Yeah, launching an iMac Pro (will the replacement of the 27-inch iMac be the new iMac Pro? Will there be two separate products? Was the iMac Pro brand a one-and-done thing?) or Mac Pro without way more memory doesn't make sense. Launching low-end laptops and desktops with 16 GiB is fine, though.

I sure hope those pro desktops won't be the only Macs this year with more than 16, though.
