Hi. My gf and me are using a 16GB 27” iMac together with 2 different accounts.
It works ok but switching between accounts with entering passwords is a not so great experience.
Especially when there is an OS update and you can’t do it as long as the other user is locked in, it’s frustrating.
So is the touch ID on the M1 machines switching really instantly to the other accounts when i press it by recognizing each user?
2nd question is RAM. We don’t do anything hardcore. Just multiple browsers, office and zoom or teams.
But with 2 users locked in, the 16GB from time to time is in the red zone already.
for beeing on the road we look for a new machine.
The 14” with 32GB would be about 800€ more than my preferred refurbished 13” M1.
As the 13” only offers 16GB, hows your experience when it hits the red zone?
