- Confused about which M3 iMac is the best for your needs? You're not alone. With the introduction of a new 24GB unified memory option alongside the standard 8GB and 16GB configurations, choosing the right iMac has become a more complex decision. Join me as I delve into the intricacies of the new 2023 iMac with an M3 chip, comparing these configurations to help you make an informed decision.
In this comprehensive guide, I'll break down the performance capabilities of the new M3 chip, how it stacks up against the M1, and what the additional memory and core options mean for users like you. Whether you're a casual user, a developer, a power user, or someone who demands the pinnacle of performance, I'll provide insights drawn from personal experience as a senior software engineer and content creator.
Discover if upgrading from an M1 iMac is worth it, understand the implications of the new neural engine upgrades, and get clarity on the kind of memory and storage options that will serve your purposes best.
But it's not just about the internals. We'll also touch on design continuity, the impact of improved connectivity options like Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and what the peripherals bring to the table.
So before you consider stepping up to a MacBook Pro or Mac Studio for more memory, or if you're on the fence about which model will serve you best in the long term, let's navigate the choices together. This guide isn't just about specifications-it's about fitting the right iMac to your lifestyle and work demands.

What gets me is that you don’t even blink through the entire video 😂
Good point, it's more or less not a problem, I just have it off through eye contact but then it looks unnatural, I'll try to work something out for the next video. Thanks for the feedback
Thank you. Thoughtful discussion.
For someone stuck in 2017 intel 27” purgatory… bc I really don’t want 24”, yet a new shiny toy sure sounds nice, I appreciate this break down regarding the worth of nickel & dimes upgrade confusion apple gives the novice. 😅 Keep up the good work sir!
If you would like to make yourself happy so I recommend to buy a Ma mini with M2 Pro, to do any size monitor according to your preferences if you do not overdo it with the size so it can then together with the mini hang on the VESA holder and to do wireless keyboard and mouse and you have the ultimate setup with levitating monitor, besides the fact that it looked awfully cool you will have a damn powerful device.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to comment. If you're celebrating Christmas have an otherwise happy Sunday.
I was thinking about getting the iMac for my personal computer and also to run iRacing on it. Is this overkill??

Good video,very informative,earned you a subscribe!❤
Thank you. I really appreciate it ♥️
, in my opinion, 8Gb not enough. 16GB a-ok, I got 24Gb without a second thought, since working with music (logic), video (Final Cut Pro) and Photoshop. EVERYTHING IS FINE. WONDERFUL! My best computer purchase ever.
I totally agree 16GB is enough but when there is a budget why not buy a straight 24GB device to last you years. Great choice
The base model is probably more than enough for me, but I'll probably buy the most powerful one just so it'll last me for a long time.
Thanks to the introduction of Apple silicon we have practically reached the time when despite the large initial investment we get machines that can keep up with us longer than the machines based on intel so if you are planning a maximum configuration just because you expect that this machine will be with you for a long time then it is the right step.
the slow speech damn near put me to sleep.
Thank you for your feedback.
Kinda dull after one minute, I'm afraid. I just need to know the facts, lol.
Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻
Voice is a turnoff. Farewell
Thank you for sharing your opinion :)
The M1 iMac doesn’t make sense because Apple will orphan it from operating system updates 3 years sooner than the M3 iMac
This is definitely a good point I just wouldn't worry about Apple Silicon ending support in the announced period.
@@TechPuppeteer As a reviewer, you probably get a new Mac frequently. Regular consumers are not so fortunate. Apple is very good about long term support, but generally 5 years after a product is no longer available for sale, the operating system updates are discontinued and the product is put on Apple's "obsolete" list.
