The 24" M3 iMac makes me kinda sad. I absolutely love the look of these computers, but Apple has chosen to cripple them in one specific way...

Thanks for the overview. What irritates me is that almost every TH-camr defines "professional" work as graphic intense, but I consider the work we do in our company as highly professional, producing educational and marketing material for entrepreneurs working online. For that we mainly use online based tools like SquareSpace, Canva, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SmartSuite, ZOHO Projects and other similar applications. One of the exceptions is Camtasia another is Screen Studio, which both runs perfectly fine on a iMac M1 or a MacBook Pro M1 Pro. We are currently waiting for an iMac M3 (10 core, 24 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD), a MacBook Pro M3 Pro (11 core, 18 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) and one MacBook Air M2 (10 core, 16 GB RAM and 512 G SSD).
I just want that exact form factor as a monitor. I want a purple monitor.
For a family computer, this works for parents that are not tech savvy. Just spec bump it up to 16GB of RAM and the family can enjoy a simple and highly effective computer.
For professionals, this still works under some conditions.
- Bump up the specs to a 16/512GB configuration. Price jumps up to $1749 pre-taxes (including $50 for Touch ID).
- Check with your HR & IT team can you work from home and use a MacBook via SSH connection.
- If the company provides a work laptop, use that for the few times you need to go into work. If not, you might need a refurbished MacBook Air for the few times someone has to come into the office.
Ok but what if the Imac Pro was waiting for the m3 ultra and was inside a Pro Display XDR
*Heavy "Aroused" Breathing*
so comparing the mid range and the cheapest, the only real difference is the 2 extra GB of GPU is this correct? (the extra pots can be solved by adapters and touch id not really essential to me) So unless doing intense 3d rendering works, maybe choose the base model raise the memory to 24g and harddrive to 512g would be enough for a solid machine?
This is what I am thinking of doing next month. Seems like it will be a great long term family computer and I can do some python work as well on the side.
All I can say is Apple really missed out with the missing ports. Standard "A" Connectors would help for those of us who still have many peripherals. Also card readers. The guts inside are great but....
They do have really cheap docks that the iMac sits on that gives you any ports you need and room for an ssd.
I have the iMac and I love that it only has USB-C ports. Looks sleek and now usb hubs are powered by the usb-c port and don't need a separate power brick. Which is great. The only thing I miss on my iMac is the ability to use it as an external display. Only possible through Airplay Mirroring which even with a thunderbolt cable is not a seamless experience.
the reason it doesn’t have on is because a male end usb a connector is thicker than the imac
@@interstellarsnowAnother reason that they don’t have those are that they are a legacy 25 year old port that needs to go away.
Great Mac for my boyfriend. He loves the simplicity
Great review. When u see m4 imac out?
Got the M3 iMac with 16gb ram and 512 gb storage and im loving it! I didn't spec it out because I update all my tech every 3 years so I always go mid tier. I was gonna go with a MacBook Pro but I already have an iPad Pro 12.9" M2 with a Magic Keyboard and that's enough for my work and school on the go. Ah im in love with apple products!
Which display is better for watching Netflix imac 4.5k or macbook pro pro display xdr 2023??
The iMac retina screen is beautiful. On a 27” 4k monitor you can still see the pixels, here you can’t. And that makes a difference on a screen this size.
75 percent of adults need some sort of vision correction. Those people will certainly not notice pixels on a 27-inch 4k monitor!
So there is one question. If you want to buy a Mac mini m2 with 4k monitor you roughly ending up with the same price of this iMac m3, but which option would be better in your opinion?
I’d go with a mac mini with a pro or max chip in it.
The main reason to get the iMac ( which is what I did ) is because you want the simplicity and power of it.
If you don't care to have different parts, then it is hands down better to go with a Mac Mini and max that out.
5k monitor for best scaling results in order to reach the preferred ppi for retina standards.
I struggled with this dilemma after the "Scary Fast" event. A little disappointed we didn't get a "Pro" 27"/32" version of the iMac, but as Apple said, there is the "Studio" set-up option, though a little pricey and not M3.
I went with the Blue iMac with 8core CPU, 10core GPU, 16core Neural Engine, 24gb UniMem. & 1TB storage, for $3,658 AUD (with student discount).
This was for a number of reasons, firstly, I had the M1 iMac (Full Spec.). Never skipped a beat, and ran like a dream looked absolutely gorgeous, plus the attention to detail with colour matching peripherals and braided cords was just *Chef's Kiss!*. also, you'd be hard pressed to find a similar spec. monitor with a comparable build quality and stunning design of the iMac and still be within budget, plus you still get all the matching magic peripheries.
But in my case, I was starting from scratch and needed all components, plus, Im a little OCD, so the whole matching everything was a big pull for me.
And as with the M1 iMac, I am absolutely loving the M3 iMac experience so far. It's everything I loved about the M1 but, better.
And I will say this about Apple's supposed "miss" with not going USB-C for the Magic Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard...., Does it really matter, I mean how often do they need to be charged, seriously, and its not like anyone is transferring data via Magic Accessories, so what do they really need USB-C for? And besides, what else is everyone going to do with their old Lightning cables.
(That was longer than I intended, but I hope it helps when weighing your options.)

Good video, but here is a suggestion: when you are making a graph comparing something new to something old, make the new one the brighter color, it's more intuitive that way.
I have a 13 inch iPad Pro that’s 2 years old. If I bought a laptop what would I do with my iPad?
That $1899 configuration is like $2250 here in Korea. I wish we could get those prices.
The desk is elm wood?
As you may have heard, Apple explicitly came out and announced that they had no intention to release a 27" iMac. This is given more weight as there is no M3 Pro option, as leakers had suggested. I suspect that the 27" Apple Display was originally intended to be the chassis of a 27" iMac with some mor robust options. Since when does a display need its own motherboard? But when the plans for the M1 Extreme evaporated, leaving the Apple Silicon Mac Pro crippled, the Mac Studio was conceived and released. The MP’s days are probably numbered, as the Apple Silicon version does away with most of what made the Mac Pro “pro” in the first place except for a narrow cohort of specialty high-end users.
And this works out just fine for Apple, the attention is now focused on the iPhone and Laptops. For desktop users who want a more capable machine, best upscale your budget, for a specced up Mac Mini, or Mac Studio, and add display, keyboard, mouse/trackpad a la carte, for much, much more that where a iMac Pro price point might sit. As the owner of an aging Classic Mac Pro 2012…. At age 65, I have to consider what my next, and possibly last, professional Mac might be. But it’s probably NOT and iMac.
I agree with most of your points. I do think a larger iMac is still likely in the works at Apple though. Apple may say they have no plans to make a 27” iMac, but that careful wording leaves open all other display sizes. Not to mention it is within their best interest to encourage consumers waiting on a larger iMac to “buy now” instead of sitting on their money.
This was a base model m3?
It seems that twice already Apple has shown that it's gonna put its more powerful chips in its notebook & desktop computers; especially the M2Pro Mini and Mac Studio machines. I think the iMac is now destined to be an entry level Mac for schools, family computer, small business, and the like.
I might be tempted if I could get a Pro or Max chip in it
Screen just too small for me.
If it means anything, I've had an iMac since 2009 - 2013 (24 in iMac) then 2013 to 2020 ( 27 in iMac ) and I had that concern ( i just realized writing this, my first iMac was 24 in ) Anyway... I got the M3 and got used to the size within an hour, literally.
@@PromotingTheBeatthe monitor size is fine. I use cc fcp and I use the windows all the time and use my i-ad pro as a second monitor. It’s more than enough.
It’s too little for me, but with this resolution people tend to just move them closer and it’s not a big deal. Big monitors are only really useful if you can put them far enough away for the right viewing distance anyway, so for a small desk this might actually be more convenient.
I bought one of these in the summer of 21'. Looks the same, sure it's better though.
My maxed out iMac Pro 2017 has never even politely burped since then, so while I fight a little underwhelment at the M3 iMac, my iMac Pro came in at over $6K. I’m not doing dropdeadline work anymore, so I’m looking forward to taking delivery of a maxed out M3 iMac for a little over $3K minus a $550 trade in discount for the Pro. I ran the numbers for various M2 Mini configs with the lovely Apple Display and choked on the prices. Call me cheap in retirement.
Desktop should always have all high performance cores.
My problem: I don’t like laptops.
I’m between the mac mini pro m2 or the imac m3 16 gb
I’d go with the mac mini.
Mini Pro all the way.
I have a Mac mini, but I ordered a new M3 iMac to save space and clutter. I have a small workspace, so for me it matters.
Also, it’s not easy to find a monitor that works well natively with apple’s graphic chipset. So, you have to spend a lot more going with a 27in Apple monitor to get the best look resolution wise.
Apple has officially stated that they will not be coming out with a 27" iMac, so no use holding one's breath for one. There is an outside chance that they might do a 32" iMac, but I seriously doubt it, so I think 24" is a big as we'll get for the foreseeable future, alas.
As a professional Apple user since 1995, it pisses me off to see now the company became a piece of shit, in so many ways. Stupid crap with faulty designs, unreasonable pricing, ridiculous "updates".
An iMac will never be on the level of a MacBook Pro 💻 you set yourself up for failure to start.
Ummmm NO it’s not similar-ITS THE SAME EXACT MODEL as the M1 computer-lighting cable CMON APPLE!!!!!
Beefy oversized iPad Pro on a stick 😂
If an iPad had the same level of software available, But it doesn't.
The audio community does *not* like soundcore lol
Not all professionnals need extraordinary gpu performance 🙄
when we talk about cores, the effisciency are very low performances and should not be counted, it is in real a 4 core computer, 4 powerfull yes but only 4 real cores.
And a 8gb model is a real scam, don't buy it. we still have a 2000$ computer, in a PC world you can have for the price a very nice 27" screen and a powerfull PC
Everything under 32 inch is useless. Greetz from 🇨🇭
8 gb in 2023?? apple is a joke
Just buy the 16GB then 🤷♂️
No thanks, probably the worst modern mac imo. I'd rather just attach a macbook or mac mini to a larger monitor.
That’s what Apple probably wants consumer to do.
@@singlehorn2520
I don't know. Tim strikes me as a corporate cutthroat. I favor FOSS & i've only an old click wheel iPod Video & was gifted the first gen iPad, so I'm not much of an Apple Fan. I use openSUSE on my asus g14 & a degoogled pixel 5.
Why are people hating on this? If it's not for you, it's not for you. Leave it to the rest of us.
And why are you defending Apple? A bad product that brings nothing to the table needs to be ripped apart. Take off your fangirl glasses.
@@AeyGeeMy grandma could use this computer the rest of her life. So could my parents. It would be the most advanced piece of technology my aunts and uncles will ever own. My nieces and nephews could also use this for school and games for their entire childhood? It doesn’t bring anything to the table for *You* , and that’s not fangirl it’s just reality. It’s exactly what you need or it isn’t. If it isn’t don’t buy it. It’s not like anyone complaining was going to ever buy it anyway lol.
@@ghost-user559 The base model costs $1300 and comes with a horrendous 8GB memory. What will you do with 8GB in 2023? Then you are looking for upgrades, which further increases the price.
Building a better specced PC will cost half of that and will be more futureproof for old age people who doesn't change their systems.
@@AeyGee Yeah, but like I said, the people I listed would literally never know the difference. They would just use their computer, and they wouldn’t even know what ram is? And anyone who built a pc for them would be full time tech support and MacOS holds their hand and requires zero maintenance or effort on their part or mine. My Aunt and Uncle have a 2009 iMac and they just barely have noticed its slow, and that had 4Gb Ram and an Hdd. If someone doesn’t notice, and they just browse and check email and do taxes or some light mobile games, like an old or young person, Macs are by far the simplest and safest machines for them. The fact that they can plop down a screen and have everything ready for them is actually more important than ram or ports or features they will never ever know about.
@@AeyGee Like I’m not joking, going from a 1080p 4 Gb hdd iMac from 2009, this machine would literally be like teleporting into the future with alien technology for them. They would use 8Gb no problem for another decade and never think twice about it. Then they would give it to my Nieces and no one in that entire family would ever even know what Ram is or care. That’s exactly who these base model machines are for, very basic, and very simple long term family computers. If you know what a computer is then you know what you actually want already and you can get that instead.
