Just can’t do 512 in 2022. Apple really needs to put that minimum config in the rearview mirror.

that's what I thought but im guessing it is cheaper for the user to stick an external ssd to the back of the machine - I have no experience of such things but would that be cheaper and just as fast?

I can't even imagine running a basic system on 256. I have a 512 at work and its barely enough for an adobe scratch disc with all our data files on a server.

I think I would be hesitant to buy the iMac right now, I think it is about due for an M2 update very soon.

Different people have different use cases. I'm typing this on a 2017 MBP with 256GB that I've been using comfortably for 5 years and will likely keep using for at least 2 more years if not longer. It's using up 135 GB right now doing exactly what I need it to do.

A minimum spec is exactly that - a minimum. Some people just need to browse the web. Apple has every reason to provide a minimum spec for those people.

Agreed. I have a 2 TB machine, but only 300 GB is in use after seven years because most of my photos and videos are stored in the cloud.

It's probably not for Adobe users... maybe a good home computer for a family with school kids.

Yea unless they want to be generous (hahahahahahaha) and make base 512 the same price, the base is now $1549.99, which will price people out and defeat the purpose of discounting. Definitely should be higher tiers you pay for, but keep a lower priced base tier

No one pays $1400 for a minimum spec machine . Surfing the web is for a basic iPad

$150 off is good. Not available in all colours though. Don't know when/or if an M2 iMac will happen. Good offer if one is planning to get this model.
