iMac Pro Launched Seven Years Ago Today

Never had a yacht and airplane flying as a pilot and owner ended in 1988. Gave up on motorcycles in 2013. Electronics are my interest as mobility issues creep into my life.....

Don't hold your breath.....

Yet, the iMac still sells in its 24" form factor, based on elegant design and attractive price. Apparently that's where the demand sweet spot lies for all-in-ones, in the consumer market.

The amount of iMacs used as POS terminals or for business desk machines it makes sense.

It’s the ideal size for normal people*.

*Normal people refers to the average consumer of everyday technology. Often confused by MacRumors users as people like themselves who browse a tech website.

I’m not particularly an iMac fan, but people can only buy something that actually exists. The fact that 100% of current iMac buyers choose a 24” screen doesn’t tell you much. The 27” iMac was quite popular when it was being sold (my Mum has one, and she’s the definition of a casual computer user). Some people clamour for a 32” version.

I suspect the main appeal of a big screen iMac, though, is that people expect it to be a better deal than buying a desktop Mac and Apple display separately. And for many years, the 27” iMac was the only choice for a decent desktop Mac (short of stepping way up to a Mac Pro).

Why are we settling for less? 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD base.

Presumably because he doesn’t want to pay $3000. Though would anyway for the spec he’s after.

Just ordered a M4 iMac with all options including nano screen, 32GB memory and 2 TB SSD, four USB-C ports and Ethernet. With military discount and sales tax it was under $3,000. Added three years of Apple care that can be extended probably out four more years on an annual basis.

Going to my two grand daughters from first son who moved into their first home. They are totally excited
