In Germany I still cannot configure the new iMac (I think this counts for whole Europe) - it says, ordering is possible at the midth of may. So I don‘t know the exact possible features. But I guess there will be no performance and configuration difference to the M1 MacBook, right? Except two more USB ports and those funky colors and a bigger display. I belong to those, who like the new design, but I guess I will wait for the M1X/M2 iMac, because I already bought the M1 MacBook Pro with 16gb and I am really happy - first Mac and do not regret it. 👍😎
This is a great guide. But what do you think about buying a top spec'd 16" M1 MacBook Pro right now compared to waiting for a top spec'd iMac later this year? Will need to change up my workstation soon, as after effects and photoshop is struggling on my late 2013 mac pro.
@@hakonmarcus I would not recommend buying a 16” right now since we’ll get more powerful Apple silicon ones soon that will be icy more power efficient (better battery life) and cheaper too. Buy an M1 MacBook Air (on sale with our link in description) and resell it when the new 16” comes out you’ll loose barely any money where 16” ones will dump in price as soon as new ones come out.
@@MaxTechOfficial Oh right, I see the 16 isnt M1! Thanks. Buying on behalf of the production company I'm working for so reselling isn't that easy. How long do you think it is before we get the new 16"? Will it be significantly better than the new iMac? Portability is nice but not essential.
I just recently decided to buy myself a desktop and was doing loads of research and I have to say this is, by far, the most complete guide on the topic. Thank you!
@@MaxTechOfficial Thank you for making these videos. Computers are more valuable when using Wi-Fi than Ethernet ports, to hackers. Do you have any advice for buying a USB Keyboard and Mouse, or a CD/DVD Drive ??? ? . (What M1/M1X machines are CD/DVD compatible ??? ? ). You don’t have to give me an answer. I think this may be help to others about the CD/DVD Drive, and USB Keyboard and Mouse in secure environments.
i ordered the pink 16gb ram and 1TB storage - i was half asleep when i ordered and am feeling slight remorse from that hefty price tag.. but it'll be worth it to replace my 2013!!
My experience with 8GB RAM on M1: if you type of person who does 1 heavy task app, in this case, I work on heavy illustrator and photoshop files, running 10+ tabs in the browser, also Spotify, and few small apps in the background, definitely will experience sluggish, I recommend you to choose 16GB ram. 8GB is fine if you do 1 heavy task/app only at one time.
My 2017 iMac was getting long in the tooth and I was going to buy an M1 iMac. I knew I would be bothered by the smaller screen size so in the end I got a 27" LG Ultrafine monitor and connected it to my M1 Air. So far very pleased. It even has an integrated 1080P camera.
I disagree. I think a lot of the less popular colors are going to hold their value longer once the line is retired/changed, and they’ll definitely have higher resale in the future. You currently see this with G3s, that said nobody should be thinking “collector market” when they think about reselling their iMac
@@cartilagehead I agree, I think 5 years down the line people will pay more for a pink than for a silver one because of the specific color. Sure you miss the buyers who don't want that color, but you need only one and a bit of taste on the menu is always welcome. I'm curious though how the color will fade if it's in the sun a long time.
@@plexoduss there was an article I recently saw that said similar things about cars. Everybody thinks that buying silver cars gives them the easiest/best resale, but it actually also depresses the value, and can make it harder to find a buyer if there are lots of silver cars to be had. Somebody seeking out an interesting color is likelier to pay above market rate and overlook minor damage/higher miles/etc.
Good observations here! Thanks. With respect to RAM, since it’s just a one-time-only $200 expense, I’d definitely get 16GB. If it were an on-going cost (hypothetically, $10/month) that might be different. Perhaps it’s a question of how long you intend to keep it. If you plan to get a new Mac every year, then it effectively becomes an on-going expense. For me though, spending an extra $200 once every 5 years is no biggie.
i’m getting the imac in purple 16gb of ram and 512gb of storage because i am going to be doing light gaming and i’m going to be keeping it for as long as i can and the current macbook i have rn is a 2017 macbook air with 128gb of storage and i’m constantly running out of storage
I wish the purple one came in the base model but it doesn’t! I had to order the $1499 version in purple. Can’t wait! It’s a birthday gift to myself! I’m upgrading from a 2009 MacBook Pro...
Since this video was uploaded, there is another difference between the base model and the higher cost models. The base model only sports a single fan and the more expensive models include additional heat dissipation "plumbing". More recent TH-cam Videos give details, my understanding of the summary is that the base model may have more fan noise and will for sure slow it's performance when heavy CPU activity is sustained - similar to the base M1 Air comparison to the M1 Pro Macbook. So, as concluded, the casual user will do well with the base model, but if one is going to be doing any significant and sustained activity (Xcode, Games, significant Applications translated into client based WebApps, or Pro Editing), the $200.00 includes the visible upgrades (ethernet, 2 USB-3 ports and increased color choices) becomes a bargain, IMHO.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool windows fan but my wife loves Apple. I have been tasked against my will and better judgement to find her a new apple computer. This video has been incredibly helpful, thank you
It's also the most boring one. Sure you miss some resell options but you need only one to sell it to and I really like some color/taste in my environment. I think I'll go for green or blue but I'm waiting for the extended reviews and experiences.
For storage you actually can upgrade since you can store files in a external drive like a 1TB Drive for only 90$ or 100$ on amazon so your not just stuck with your base storage
ok, this was the video I should've looked at before buying the 2021 24"imac with only 2 thunderbolt ports... I'm a professional photographer that uses photo mechanic, adobe lightroom for editing... I also shoot video, and asap will be adding final cut pro as an app. ... my current imac is an old mid-2011 with 16gm of ram & 500gb of hd storage. I currently have 7 external hard drives so ALL of my photography catalog is on those external drives.... I have a 10 port usb hub connected to the current mac to support all the hard drives, and use Comcast as my ISP... I did my research on getting a refurbished mac off apple's website, and amazon, and was told by a photographer friend of mine to make sure when I buy an upgraded mac it included the m1 chip as all my dslr's are full frame, plus I just bought the Nikon z6ii mirrorless camera. The old mac is not reading the mirrorless raw shots... and I'm told thats because it requires the apple's m1 chip to do so... I bought this off Apple's refurbished page, Refurbished 24-inch iMac Apple M1 Chip with 8‑Core CPU and 7‑Core GPU - Silver, but didn't realize it only had 2 thunderbolt ports and no usb ports... (mistake)... I was going to return it (it's still within the 14 days policy), and get an imac with the 2 thunderbolt & 4 usb ports, plus an internet connection.. .. I'm debating on whether to get this one..... 2021 Apple iMac (24-inch, Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU and 8‑core GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB) - Silver and just adding the OWC Thunderbolt Dock with Thunderbolt 4 Cable. .. with whatever I get, I don't plan on upgrading to the new mac once they come out next year..... I think the 256 gb hd will be enough since it's pretty much only for apps and not much more. Everything else will be on my external hard drives. ... your suggestion on what to buy...
Thanks for the guide tho I barely used it 😂 lol. I've ordered the 8-Core CPU & GPU model, with 1TB Storage, 16GB RAM, and Numeric Magic Keyboard (with Touch ID), in the awesome Blue colour. I'm a law student, so maybe not a 'Professional User' as per your standards, but when I write my Research Papers or Essays or Articles, my Macs [which have always have had only 8GB RAM] ALWAYS used Swap cause my RAM would run out, and then stutter and lag [which I absolutely hate. Thanks Intel]. This time my father snapped on me and 'ordered' that I buy 16 gigs of RAM. Nice video btw. Timestamps are always appreciated. Super excited cause this will replace my 2013 27' iMac.
I appreciate this info, but my order confirmation is already in my inbox! Very excited to replace my 2013 iMac. You guys do a great job covering Apple.
@@jaimeduncan6167 I'm currently running my base model late 2013 (8GB RAM; 2.7GHz i5) off an external 250GB SSD. I ended up ordering the 8 GB/8 core with 512GB SSD. I don't need the processing power of a lot of RAM but I do need more memory since my current 250 SSD it has less than 80 GB free & I'd prefer not to use external storage until necessary. I plan to use this computer for 5 years at least, so I skipped the base model for more ports.
I was originally going to buy the new iMac, but I started reading around and some articles mentioned it was cheaper to go with a Mac mini and just getting a 4k display. That's what I ended up doing. I got two 28' 4k displays plus a Mac mini, and it was only $1,300. Already have a magic keyboard and Magic Mouse from my old MacBook Pro that I'm trading in, so I'm not missing out on many of the accessories. I do wish my keyboard had the Touch ID, but the second monitor is more important to me than the Touch ID keyboard. Plus, if I have to upgrade in the future, a new Mac mini is going to be cheaper than a brand new iMac.
Totally agree with this . The money you save you can spend on a good display or even two . The colours is just a gimmick, especially when you have Mac against the wall .
This video answered the questions I had. I use mainly Lightroom and occasionally photoshop and affinity photo. Sounds like the 7 core gpu, 8 ram, and 512 SSD would work just fine. Better than my 2011 MacBook Pro. Haha.
ive read somewhere that you are only allowed to plug in 1 external monitor on your imac. this might also be a very important factor for people who normally work with 3 screens
Same. Am hoping Vadim is wrong regarding it's starting price of 3k. If that's the case then will probably just get a 14" MBP and use an old 22" Cinema Display I have.
I'm considering switching from my macbook pro 2017 to an iMac 24" specially because my macbook is actually dying, literally. I've been doing a lot of work for my PhD at home, running programs and statistical softwares, dealing with huge databases (10+ Gb size), and the first problem I had was the small 512Gb was not enough at all. Recently, the screen started to show black lines as the macbook heats up, and spend basically all day on my computer, either working, or watching videos/Netflix and sometimes playing ESO, all these problems are getting me really frustrated with my mac. I believe nowadays, and specially because of the pandemic, I can work from home without the need to have a powerful laptop, so that's when the new iMac came to my mind. I considered buying a pc desktop, but I'm extremely reluctant in coming back to Windows, which I definite hate a lot due to bad past experiences. A 24" is more than enough for me now, and I hardly believe I'd like a bigger screen for work, so I was wondering if it's a good idea to have an iMac now, and maybe next year buy a macbook air in case I need a portable computer.
@@fionam4934 I decided to go for a 16-inch macbook M1 Max 32gb 24gb-GPU with 2tb of SSD. The SSD and the 32gb of memory because of my studies and work, the 24gb GPU for when I decide to play some games (ESO, FF XIV, etc). I saw several reviews over the past 2 or 3 weeks, and even though my mac will arrive only in the first week of December yet, I'm pretty confident this will turn out to be a good choice. Btw, I applied for a trade-in for my previous macbook 2017.
It should be mentioned that the cooling of the base model (7 GPU) is not as good as the cooling of the extebded model. The extended model has a heatpipe and two fans which the base model has not.
I will be using the Mac for coding, meetings and watching videos. And from your video I have decided to buy 1499 imac with 16 gb storage and 512 GB SSD. Thoughts?
I bought the 8x8 cores, 16 GB of ram and 2 TB SSD. Better to have and not need than to need and not have. A few hundred $$ isn’t a deal breaker for me.
Replacing my late 2015 iMac after years of waiting for a new design (and personally I LOVE the new design). Mine is a yellow (my favourite colour is gold, and I was hoping for one but yellow will do) M1 8-core, 16GB RAM, gigabit ethernet, Two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports and Two USB 3 ports, 1TB SSD storage, Magic Mouse and Keyboard with Touch ID. Cannot wait for it.
I’m trying to get my film teachers to recommend these m1 iMacs for my school, so the desktops are enough to run film courses and that video editing I’d pick: 16gb ram (my teacher wanted 32GB) 512ssd 2 USB 4.0 and 2 USB 3.0 ports Ethernet
Good video. As a casual user the only thing I upgraded was the keyboard with the touch feature. Well worth the money especially when it comes to passwords etc since I use about fifteen different combinations. I have the blue color which is very nice. My order left Shanghai China on 7/15 and arrived by Fedex on 7/17 before noon. Incredible. The only issue I had was the power cord unit had scratches so Apple is sending me a new one. Also Apple support can be a pain sometimes.
Great job. You provide a wonderful service to the "non-techies" and "mild-techies" in the crowd providing great balance to all the "hype". I'm finally upgrading my late-2014 27" 5K iMac with the fusion drive (I think it is about to "time-out" on full updates to MacOS due to its elderly age). It has been a "bulletproof" machine for me, although the performance has always been kinda slow for high-performance uses. So, I "pulled the trigger" and just finished ordering the orange 16GB/1TB model with the numeric Touch Id keyboard. I do a lot of photo editing and a bit of video, so the great hi-def screen has always been a joy, and now there will be the processing power and speed to support these and all my other use cases. I probably could have/should have stayed with the 8GB/512GB choices, but I wanted to "future-proof" the machine and could afford it. Sounds like others in your comments are thinking the same way. Also got the 13" MacBook Air 8/8/512 in December and am thrilled with it, so I'm really looking forward to the same type of blazing performance on my "big machine". I honestly do not see the need to wait for the new M1X version for my use case.
Thanks for the content and info on the new 24inch IMacs....So is the wait worth waiting for the larger replacement of the 27 Inch 5k IMac with the new apple chips or are the intel IMacs an ideal buy for creative professionals because of the ability to add more ram etc?
Thanks for your tips on the 8 mistakes. I think I did okay except for the Ram. I was using my new iMac with 8GB Ram. While on Zoom going in and out of breakout rooms as the host, my computer crashed. I did have a couple of other apps open, like Outlook and Google. I still have time to exchange it since I only bought it a couple of days ago. Do you think the *MG of Ram is the culprit?
I ordered the iMac as soon as preorders went live but because I was rushing I didn’t realize you could upgrade the keyboard (I’m a numpad guy) until after I ordered. Had to cancel and reorder and I went from an estimated delivery date of 3 weeks to 4-5 weeks. Had I watched this sooner, I would’ve realized I could upgrade the keyboard a little earlier and maybe would’ve been able to keep the same delivery time. But oh well. Ended up getting the silver, 16gb ram (for photo work), and decided to opt for 1tb ssd.
At the moment I am using the iMac 27 late 2013 with upgraded ssd, ram and still doing fine, (7 years already) but despite this it feels too old for me. Gonna get Macbook Air till larger iMac model. If the larger iMac end up being out of my wallet range, I am gonna get 24 inch base model. Not care about the storage, but definitely buy the 16 GB Ram version. Thank you, Max :)
Blue (‘cos silver wasn’t available when I first tried to order), 8+8, 16G, 1Tb. I plan on keeping this 10 years like the 2011 machine it’ll replace and didn’t want to regret running limiting spec now. I’ll forget spending the extra cash soon enough ;)
This is a very helpful video. But I have a suggestion for another video: Should I buy an all-in-one iMac, or a Mac mini + external display? For example, with a Mac mini, I could buy a cheap display now and then upgrade it to a very good one when my finances have recovered. 😁 Also, I don’t need to wait for Apple to announce a 27” iMac.
As a college student I have a MBP and iPad Pro so I have and love the portability but I wanted a more at home solution without the use of docs on my laptop so I pulled the trigger and bought the mid tier silver iMac
The base iMac is the only version shipping every RAM, storage, and color options on launch day. Every other module has multiple colors with shipment delayed to mid June. The iPad Pro has also slipped to mid July and will likely be August by a week from now.
I heard you can but just 1 additional display. It seems M1 chip does not support 2 additional displays due it's internal specifications and power. Make sure to deep browsing about that.
You may also explore some of the external expansion options, as I recall there may be some out there that include more than one display output (rather than plugging a single adaptor directly into the iMac).
Thanks for the great video...... These 24" iMac's are great for many users but, as a video editer I'm not impressed by them as well as the fruity colors. I am however, glad to hear from you that there are plans on a bigger iMac in the near future. I'm sure those will be more aimed for us video/music editors. Thanks again for another awesome video. 👍😊
I have a lot of photos and my old MacBook pro is full. I have spend so much time trying to take photos out of my photo-library manually and is tired of how it works/I set it up. So when I buy the new imac I need a better solution to my storage (either 2tb or an external storage). So: 1. Is it possible to use the external drive you mention as the primary place to have the photos/library 2. If so, does it work as good as if I had saved it on the Mac itself? 3. How do I then make backup? 4.can I later move the photos to another Mac (plug and play) or? Thx for a really great channel for tech-I tested like me, but with limited knowledge ☺️
Hi Max, I love your video. I am a professional opera singer recording at home using an UAD Apollo x4 and their Luna workstation. I using their Shape to do some song writing as well using some strings, piano, trumpets ect - I do use 3th party plug ins from Izotope, fabfilter and of course of UAD for my vocal recording. For my own recordings I mainly use 2 tracks orchestra or piano and add the voxal - so as you see I am not using a lot of tracks but do use heavy plug ins of Izotope and 1 reverb from UAD capital chambers (maybe you've heard of these things - Now, about the computer. I am using now a Imac late 2013 - 8 G - 256 SSD -- It does the recordings good although when I am composing and use midi round 8 tracks + 2 vocals and add the Izotope mastering plug in the computer starts to stutter....This is a late 2013 Imac and I am certain it cannot be compared to the Imac 2021 --- my question is: if I would buy the imac 8 - 8 - 512 - would that be enough or do I really need the 16G _ I asked the store but they not know anything about professional music stuff - and they said I can't return the computer if it is not working - plus, even if I want to upgrade as you mentioned that is also not possible. Hope you know something about Universal audio and Luna and Izotope to help me for my kind of use on my way.. Thanks in advance
I just don't know what to do. Either upgrade the RAM or go for more storage. Then I'm leaning towards more ram since 8GB seems so little and then I'm leaning towards more storage as I'm already using more on my current mac and I don't have the money to do both upgrades. I keep asking myself will this Imac last me at least 6 years for normal home use and some photo, video editing with only 8GB? Some say yes and some say no. Who to trust. Next to playing The Sims I don't play any games on a mac and I also don't want to run windows on it either. I switched to mac years ago because windows and me are not a good match.
To me it’s all about keeping your circuits cool. The extra fan and the tube is important from what I’ve learned in my electronics classes. The rest is irrelative because I plan to keep it for a long while.
I wondered about that. seems to me that if one port could be replaced by 3 why wouldn’t the original port have been 3 times faster if it could accommodate so much data transfer through the one port
I agree with all of those except for people who plan on keeping their computer for a long time I would recommend 16gb of ram so it will last longer. I had to upgrade my last apple laptop because it didn’t have enough ram even though the rest of the computer worked great
I mainly will use this for editing my TH-cam videos (nothing fancy) and my photos on lightroom. What is the best choice for me? It’s so hard to choose!
Hi MaxTech, I currently have a 2013-vintage Core i5 21.5-inch iMac, 8 GB RAM, 1.0 TB HDD running MacOS Sierra. I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse via USB-A RF adaptor. In the past, I would occasionally plug in a FireWire 800 external HDD as a scratch disk when running Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP 7) using a FireWire to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor, and also another adaptor to plug in my FireWire camcorders (I have a Canon HDV 'corder and an older MiniDV 'corder) to access my old tape stock. The only newer cams I currently have are a GoPro Session 4 and an iPad Mini 2. I am currently kicking around the idea of replacing my 21.5-inch iMac with a new M1 iMac or waiting for the 14-inch M1X MacBook Pro (which would add power, ports and portability but also require I buy an external monitor for my desk setup). I'm intrigued by the hubs you showed in this video, but I'm also concerned about finding a way to connect to my older camcorders. Software I often use: Microsoft Office, Demo LabelWriter, Apple iWork, Apple iWeb (still using it to put up some web pages), Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, InDesign, Illustrator). I still have iPhoto installed on my iMac, which I consider to be superior to Photos. I use Photos and hate it. iPhoto had vastly superior searching abilities. I'm frustrated there. For still photos, I use a Canon Digital Rebel T3, a Canon pocket camera, and smartphones. (Thinking about buying a "renewed" iPhoto 8 off Amazon.) I am also intrigued by the possibility of installing Windows 10 for ARM on a newer Apple Silicon Mac so I can use Microsoft Access, Publisher (people occasionally send me Publisher files), AutoCAD and other Windows-only GPS/GIS software.
I thought about waiting for a 27", but the '24 is already going to blow away my 2015 iMac in every way, especially for Final Cut Pro work in 4K video. All decked out with max upgrades its going to run me $3000 pretty much. But you know darn well a 27 inch is going to push that up into a $5,000 purchase, and thats just TOO MUCH. It will be a great machine but I basically just want a lot faster machine than what I have now, and the 24 inch will relieve a lot of pain, waiting for an hour video to render.
Hi I never own a apple iMac computer, I have an HP but it's on the verge of going literally there are 3 lines showing on my computer I wonder if you can help me I am looking for a computer that has a lot of memory, and it is fast I need it for my own personal use, I used my computer for a couple of things which one you think of the Apple iMac is good I was thinking of the 24 apple iMac M1CHIP but again I don't know

My experience with 8GB RAM on M1: if you type of person who does 1 heavy task app, in this case, I work on heavy illustrator and photoshop files, running 10+ tabs in the browser, also Spotify, and few small apps in the background, definitely will experience sluggish, I recommend you to choose 16GB ram. 8GB is fine if you do 1 heavy task/app only at one time.

@@plexoduss there was an article I recently saw that said similar things about cars. Everybody thinks that buying silver cars gives them the easiest/best resale, but it actually also depresses the value, and can make it harder to find a buyer if there are lots of silver cars to be had. Somebody seeking out an interesting color is likelier to pay above market rate and overlook minor damage/higher miles/etc.
Good observations here! Thanks.
With respect to RAM, since it’s just a one-time-only $200 expense, I’d definitely get 16GB. If it were an on-going cost (hypothetically, $10/month) that might be different.
Perhaps it’s a question of how long you intend to keep it. If you plan to get a new Mac every year, then it effectively becomes an on-going expense. For me though, spending an extra $200 once every 5 years is no biggie.
Well, you can buy a new 8gb stick for 30 dollars in PC. 😂

Picked up the same model! I'm coming from Macbook Air 128gb too, but from the early 2014 model. #TeamPurple
Yellow iMac looks the best in any interior. Was put off of it at initial launch, but now it’s the only colour I consider!
I'm waiting for the 27" iMac replacement. Hopefully isn't a lot more expensive than the current ones.
Oh, it will be. That’s why there disappointing “pros” with the iMac so they’ll be so excited for the iMac Pro and spend more.
I wish the purple one came in the base model but it doesn’t! I had to order the $1499 version in purple. Can’t wait! It’s a birthday gift to myself! I’m upgrading from a 2009 MacBook Pro...

Since this video was uploaded, there is another difference between the base model and the higher cost models. The base model only sports a single fan and the more expensive models include additional heat dissipation "plumbing". More recent TH-cam Videos give details, my understanding of the summary is that the base model may have more fan noise and will for sure slow it's performance when heavy CPU activity is sustained - similar to the base M1 Air comparison to the M1 Pro Macbook. So, as concluded, the casual user will do well with the base model, but if one is going to be doing any significant and sustained activity (Xcode, Games, significant Applications translated into client based WebApps, or Pro Editing), the $200.00 includes the visible upgrades (ethernet, 2 USB-3 ports and increased color choices) becomes a bargain, IMHO.
Ordered high end green one with 16GB and 1 Tb storage. Wanted 2Tb storage but refuse to pay $400 more.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool windows fan but my wife loves Apple. I have been tasked against my will and better judgement to find her a new apple computer. This video has been incredibly helpful, thank you
The actual biggest flaw of the basic model is the missing fan with heatsink. It totally blows...
I ordered a new blue M1 iMac. Got 16G RAM and 512G storage. Coz I need it for design and editing. Thanks for your guidance.
Good call on the colour thing, people are very picky about that sort of thing so silver is the best bet.
It's also the most boring one. Sure you miss some resell options but you need only one to sell it to and I really like some color/taste in my environment. I think I'll go for green or blue but I'm waiting for the extended reviews and experiences.
Just canceled my order I made an hour before watching this video as I apparently ordered the 7-core GPU. Thanks!!
Best outcome if buying; basic spec, upgrade to touchID keyboard and upgrade RAM to 16GB.
I wanna buy it just because of the color 😸
Orange for me...
For storage you actually can upgrade since you can store files in a external drive like a 1TB Drive for only 90$ or 100$ on amazon so your not just stuck with your base storage
I don’t plan on buying it yet I watch the whole video anyway because of how interesting it was.
These things are definitely not cheap they want to upsell you for everything
New iMac is classic
It's ugly too

@@nimeshjeyarajasingam7791 nah the older models before this were hella basic and boring 😂
ok, this was the video I should've looked at before buying the 2021 24"imac with only 2 thunderbolt ports... I'm a professional photographer that uses photo mechanic, adobe lightroom for editing... I also shoot video, and asap will be adding final cut pro as an app. ... my current imac is an old mid-2011 with 16gm of ram & 500gb of hd storage. I currently have 7 external hard drives so ALL of my photography catalog is on those external drives.... I have a 10 port usb hub connected to the current mac to support all the hard drives, and use Comcast as my ISP... I did my research on getting a refurbished mac off apple's website, and amazon, and was told by a photographer friend of mine to make sure when I buy an upgraded mac it included the m1 chip as all my dslr's are full frame, plus I just bought the Nikon z6ii mirrorless camera. The old mac is not reading the mirrorless raw shots... and I'm told thats because it requires the apple's m1 chip to do so... I bought this off Apple's refurbished page, Refurbished 24-inch iMac Apple M1 Chip with 8‑Core CPU and 7‑Core GPU - Silver, but didn't realize it only had 2 thunderbolt ports and no usb ports... (mistake)... I was going to return it (it's still within the 14 days policy), and get an imac with the 2 thunderbolt & 4 usb ports, plus an internet connection.. .. I'm debating on whether to get this one..... 2021 Apple iMac (24-inch, Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU and 8‑core GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB) - Silver and just adding the OWC Thunderbolt Dock with Thunderbolt 4 Cable. .. with whatever I get, I don't plan on upgrading to the new mac once they come out next year..... I think the 256 gb hd will be enough since it's pretty much only for apps and not much more. Everything else will be on my external hard drives. ... your suggestion on what to buy...
Thanks for the guide tho I barely used it 😂 lol. I've ordered the 8-Core CPU & GPU model, with 1TB Storage, 16GB RAM, and Numeric Magic Keyboard (with Touch ID), in the awesome Blue colour. I'm a law student, so maybe not a 'Professional User' as per your standards, but when I write my Research Papers or Essays or Articles, my Macs [which have always have had only 8GB RAM] ALWAYS used Swap cause my RAM would run out, and then stutter and lag [which I absolutely hate. Thanks Intel]. This time my father snapped on me and 'ordered' that I buy 16 gigs of RAM. Nice video btw. Timestamps are always appreciated. Super excited cause this will replace my 2013 27' iMac.

@@jaimeduncan6167 I'm currently running my base model late 2013 (8GB RAM; 2.7GHz i5) off an external 250GB SSD. I ended up ordering the 8 GB/8 core with 512GB SSD. I don't need the processing power of a lot of RAM but I do need more memory since my current 250 SSD it has less than 80 GB free & I'd prefer not to use external storage until necessary.

@@m77mmdd19 lol
What I'm interested in is sustained performance of the iPad pro m1 and fan speeds and temps of the m1 iMac.
I was originally going to buy the new iMac, but I started reading around and some articles mentioned it was cheaper to go with a Mac mini and just getting a 4k display. That's what I ended up doing. I got two 28' 4k displays plus a Mac mini, and it was only $1,300. Already have a magic keyboard and Magic Mouse from my old MacBook Pro that I'm trading in, so I'm not missing out on many of the accessories. I do wish my keyboard had the Touch ID, but the second monitor is more important to me than the Touch ID keyboard. Plus, if I have to upgrade in the future, a new Mac mini is going to be cheaper than a brand new iMac.
Totally agree with this . The money you save you can spend on a good display or even two . The colours is just a gimmick, especially when you have Mac against the wall .
This video answered the questions I had. I use mainly Lightroom and occasionally photoshop and affinity photo. Sounds like the 7 core gpu, 8 ram, and 512 SSD would work just fine. Better than my 2011 MacBook Pro. Haha.
ive read somewhere that you are only allowed to plug in 1 external monitor on your imac. this might also be a very important factor for people who normally work with 3 screens
going to wait for the m1x
Looking for a new purchase, but need all of your information, that’s why I keep looking at your videos.
Will wait on the M1X version of the iMac 🖥
Same. Am hoping Vadim is wrong regarding it's starting price of 3k. If that's the case then will probably just get a 14" MBP and use an old 22" Cinema Display I have.

I'm considering switching from my macbook pro 2017 to an iMac 24" specially because my macbook is actually dying, literally. I've been doing a lot of work for my PhD at home, running programs and statistical softwares, dealing with huge databases (10+ Gb size), and the first problem I had was the small 512Gb was not enough at all. Recently, the screen started to show black lines as the macbook heats up, and spend basically all day on my computer, either working, or watching videos/Netflix and sometimes playing ESO, all these problems are getting me really frustrated with my mac. I believe nowadays, and specially because of the pandemic, I can work from home without the need to have a powerful laptop, so that's when the new iMac came to my mind. I considered buying a pc desktop, but I'm extremely reluctant in coming back to Windows, which I definite hate a lot due to bad past experiences. A 24" is more than enough for me now, and I hardly believe I'd like a bigger screen for work, so I was wondering if it's a good idea to have an iMac now, and maybe next year buy a macbook air in case I need a portable computer.
What did you decide Andre? I’m in a similar situation to you…Mac book pro 17 and all which I think I’ll have to sell when the iMac arrives.
@@fionam4934 I decided to go for a 16-inch macbook M1 Max 32gb 24gb-GPU with 2tb of SSD. The SSD and the 32gb of memory because of my studies and work, the 24gb GPU for when I decide to play some games (ESO, FF XIV, etc). I saw several reviews over the past 2 or 3 weeks, and even though my mac will arrive only in the first week of December yet, I'm pretty confident this will turn out to be a good choice. Btw, I applied for a trade-in for my previous macbook 2017.
@@fionam4934 The iMac is still a dream, but I am in a dire need to replace my actual computer, and decided to postpone the iMac for a while.
It should be mentioned that the cooling of the base model (7 GPU) is not as good as the cooling of the extebded model. The extended model has a heatpipe and two fans which the base model has not.
watching almost every video you're posting and enjoy from every moment !
you're doing excellent job ! thank you !!
I will be using the Mac for coding, meetings and watching videos. And from your video I have decided to buy 1499 imac with 16 gb storage and 512 GB SSD. Thoughts?
I guessed I ordered the right one
Now I’m seeing this vid and made me happy
This channel is very very good tbh. Thanks Guys (From India)
Thanks for your support!
Mistake 7, I have found it far cheaper to buy a USB 4 SSD. 1TB - 1050MB/s - £125. Just bought the purple middle spec with 16gb ram.
I bought the 8x8 cores, 16 GB of ram and 2 TB SSD. Better to have and not need than to need and not have. A few hundred $$ isn’t a deal breaker for me.
Just got mid tier model with 16GB ram and 256GB storage (I have fast external SSDs) thanks for the advice
When ipad 9th generation is coming?
Super informative and a lot of good points broken down in a digestible way. Thanks!
Can't wait to see how the 7-core compares to the 8-core on the iMac. Mainly how it handles Final Cut and Logic.
Replacing my late 2015 iMac after years of waiting for a new design (and personally I LOVE the new design).
Mine is a yellow (my favourite colour is gold, and I was hoping for one but yellow will do) M1 8-core, 16GB RAM, gigabit ethernet, Two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports and Two USB 3 ports, 1TB SSD storage, Magic Mouse and Keyboard with Touch ID. Cannot wait for it.
I'm confused in buying I Mac or MacBook Pro m1 for video editing full time
Do you edit these yourself? Fantastic professional job( in addition to the great content!)
I’m trying to get my film teachers to recommend these m1 iMacs for my school, so the desktops are enough to run film courses and that video editing
I’d pick:
16gb ram (my teacher wanted 32GB)
512ssd
2 USB 4.0 and 2 USB 3.0 ports
Ethernet
For the price of 1 Mac you can build very decent desktop easily outperforming the mac
The new iMac is to make iMac Pro (XDR style) look extra good and worths that hefty price 🏷
Yes~ just skip iMac 24 inches and buy 32 inches iMac Pro
I'm gonna wait for the wwdc
@@jaimeduncan6167 Right I agree. I'm in to take a spin cause I got the M1 MacBook Air and it's got great graphical performance.
Good video. As a casual user the only thing I upgraded was the keyboard with the touch feature. Well worth the money especially when it comes to passwords etc since I use about fifteen different combinations. I have the blue color which is very nice. My order left Shanghai China on 7/15 and arrived by Fedex on 7/17 before noon. Incredible. The only issue I had was the power cord unit had scratches so Apple is sending me a new one. Also Apple support can be a pain sometimes.
Love this one year later. Thank you!
Great job. You provide a wonderful service to the "non-techies" and "mild-techies" in the crowd providing great balance to all the "hype". I'm finally upgrading my late-2014 27" 5K iMac with the fusion drive (I think it is about to "time-out" on full updates to MacOS due to its elderly age). It has been a "bulletproof" machine for me, although the performance has always been kinda slow for high-performance uses. So, I "pulled the trigger" and just finished ordering the orange 16GB/1TB model with the numeric Touch Id keyboard. I do a lot of photo editing and a bit of video, so the great hi-def screen has always been a joy, and now there will be the processing power and speed to support these and all my other use cases. I probably could have/should have stayed with the 8GB/512GB choices, but I wanted to "future-proof" the machine and could afford it. Sounds like others in your comments are thinking the same way. Also got the 13" MacBook Air 8/8/512 in December and am thrilled with it, so I'm really looking forward to the same type of blazing performance on my "big machine". I honestly do not see the need to wait for the new M1X version for my use case.
Thank you! This is so helpful! (especially the 8 / 16 ram question)
Thanks for the awareness of how to get more ports, appreciated.
Thanks for the content and info on the new 24inch IMacs....So is the wait worth waiting for the larger replacement of the 27 Inch 5k IMac with the new apple chips or are the intel IMacs an ideal buy for creative professionals because of the ability to add more ram etc?
Thanks for your tips on the 8 mistakes. I think I did okay except for the Ram. I was using my new iMac with 8GB Ram. While on Zoom going in and out of breakout rooms as the host, my computer crashed. I did have a couple of other apps open, like Outlook and Google. I still have time to exchange it since I only bought it a couple of days ago. Do you think the *MG of Ram is the culprit?
I ordered the iMac as soon as preorders went live but because I was rushing I didn’t realize you could upgrade the keyboard (I’m a numpad guy) until after I ordered. Had to cancel and reorder and I went from an estimated delivery date of 3 weeks to 4-5 weeks. Had I watched this sooner, I would’ve realized I could upgrade the keyboard a little earlier and maybe would’ve been able to keep the same delivery time. But oh well.
Ended up getting the silver, 16gb ram (for photo work), and decided to opt for 1tb ssd.
We are still happy with our purchase of this computer… best ever with the disability usability features.
At the moment I am using the iMac 27 late 2013 with upgraded ssd, ram and still doing fine, (7 years already) but despite this it feels too old for me. Gonna get Macbook Air till larger iMac model. If the larger iMac end up being out of my wallet range, I am gonna get 24 inch base model. Not care about the storage, but definitely buy the 16 GB Ram version.
Thank you, Max :)
Thanks for the clarifications. Excellent video. Right on!
Congrats for this very conclusive video !!!! Now I know what I need for my next macbook.
Blue (‘cos silver wasn’t available when I first tried to order), 8+8, 16G, 1Tb. I plan on keeping this 10 years like the 2011 machine it’ll replace and didn’t want to regret running limiting spec now. I’ll forget spending the extra cash soon enough ;)
This is a very helpful video.
But I have a suggestion for another video:
Should I buy an all-in-one iMac, or a Mac mini + external display?
For example, with a Mac mini, I could buy a cheap display now and then upgrade it to a very good one when my finances have recovered. 😁
Also, I don’t need to wait for Apple to announce a 27” iMac.
As a college student
I have a MBP and iPad Pro so I have and love the portability but I wanted a more at home solution without the use of docs on my laptop so I pulled the trigger and bought the mid tier silver iMac
The base iMac is the only version shipping every RAM, storage, and color options on launch day. Every other module has multiple colors with shipment delayed to mid June. The iPad Pro has also slipped to mid July and will likely be August by a week from now.
So can I add a second display to my iMac or not? I am confused. As a graphic designer I need my wacom pendisplay.
I think you can
I heard you can but just 1 additional display. It seems M1 chip does not support 2 additional displays due it's internal specifications and power. Make sure to deep browsing about that.
@@lumeon Thank you!!
You may also explore some of the external expansion options, as I recall there may be some out there that include more than one display output (rather than plugging a single adaptor directly into the iMac).
You can run an extra display. Also if you need a third display if you have an iPad use it in sidecar mode.
Thanks for the great video...... These 24" iMac's are great for many users but, as a video editer I'm not impressed by them as well as the fruity colors. I am however, glad to hear from you that there are plans on a bigger iMac in the near future. I'm sure those will be more aimed for us video/music editors. Thanks again for another awesome video. 👍😊
I have a lot of photos and my old MacBook pro is full. I have spend so much time trying to take photos out of my photo-library manually and is tired of how it works/I set it up. So when I buy the new imac I need a better solution to my storage (either 2tb or an external storage). So:
1. Is it possible to use the external drive you mention as the primary place to have the photos/library
2. If so, does it work as good as if I had saved it on the Mac itself?
3. How do I then make backup?
4.can I later move the photos to another Mac (plug and play) or?
Thx for a really great channel for tech-I tested like me, but with limited knowledge ☺️

Hi Max, I love your video. I am a professional opera singer recording at home using an UAD Apollo x4 and their Luna workstation. I using their Shape to do some song writing as well using some strings, piano, trumpets ect - I do use 3th party plug ins from Izotope, fabfilter and of course of UAD for my vocal recording. For my own recordings I mainly use 2 tracks orchestra or piano and add the voxal - so as you see I am not using a lot of tracks but do use heavy plug ins of Izotope and 1 reverb from UAD capital chambers (maybe you've heard of these things - Now, about the computer. I am using now a Imac late 2013 - 8 G - 256 SSD -- It does the recordings good although when I am composing and use midi round 8 tracks + 2 vocals and add the Izotope mastering plug in the computer starts to stutter....This is a late 2013 Imac and I am certain it cannot be compared to the Imac 2021 --- my question is: if I would buy the imac 8 - 8 - 512 - would that be enough or do I really need the 16G _ I asked the store but they not know anything about professional music stuff - and they said I can't return the computer if it is not working - plus, even if I want to upgrade as you mentioned that is also not possible. Hope you know something about Universal audio and Luna and Izotope to help me for my kind of use on my way.. Thanks in advance
I just don't know what to do. Either upgrade the RAM or go for more storage. Then I'm leaning towards more ram since 8GB seems so little and then I'm leaning towards more storage as I'm already using more on my current mac and I don't have the money to do both upgrades. I keep asking myself will this Imac last me at least 6 years for normal home use and some photo, video editing with only 8GB? Some say yes and some say no. Who to trust. Next to playing The Sims I don't play any games on a mac and I also don't want to run windows on it either. I switched to mac years ago because windows and me are not a good match.
Great video! Just the kind of reassurance I needed to justify my recent purchase. 👍
To me it’s all about keeping your circuits cool. The extra fan and the tube is important from what I’ve learned in my electronics classes. The rest is irrelative because I plan to keep it for a long while.
Irrelevant?
the dock ad is misleading. you cannot take one thunderbolt 4 port and turn it to 3 full speed ones
I wondered about that. seems to me that if one port could be replaced by 3 why wouldn’t the original port have been 3 times faster if it could accommodate so much data transfer through the one port
I agree with all of those except for people who plan on keeping their computer for a long time I would recommend 16gb of ram so it will last longer. I had to upgrade my last apple laptop because it didn’t have enough ram even though the rest of the computer worked great
In that predicament now with my MacBook Pro. Lesson learnt!
Very good review, thank you
I mainly will use this for editing my TH-cam videos (nothing fancy) and my photos on lightroom. What is the best choice for me? It’s so hard to choose!
Incredebly well explained! Goood work! Thankyou!
First timer on a mac I’ll go for the 8gb model with 512
Hi MaxTech, I currently have a 2013-vintage Core i5 21.5-inch iMac, 8 GB RAM, 1.0 TB HDD running MacOS Sierra. I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse via USB-A RF adaptor. In the past, I would occasionally plug in a FireWire 800 external HDD as a scratch disk when running Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP 7) using a FireWire to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor, and also another adaptor to plug in my FireWire camcorders (I have a Canon HDV 'corder and an older MiniDV 'corder) to access my old tape stock. The only newer cams I currently have are a GoPro Session 4 and an iPad Mini 2. I am currently kicking around the idea of replacing my 21.5-inch iMac with a new M1 iMac or waiting for the 14-inch M1X MacBook Pro (which would add power, ports and portability but also require I buy an external monitor for my desk setup). I'm intrigued by the hubs you showed in this video, but I'm also concerned about finding a way to connect to my older camcorders. Software I often use: Microsoft Office, Demo LabelWriter, Apple iWork, Apple iWeb (still using it to put up some web pages), Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, InDesign, Illustrator). I still have iPhoto installed on my iMac, which I consider to be superior to Photos. I use Photos and hate it. iPhoto had vastly superior searching abilities. I'm frustrated there. For still photos, I use a Canon Digital Rebel T3, a Canon pocket camera, and smartphones. (Thinking about buying a "renewed" iPhoto 8 off Amazon.) I am also intrigued by the possibility of installing Windows 10 for ARM on a newer Apple Silicon Mac so I can use Microsoft Access, Publisher (people occasionally send me Publisher files), AutoCAD and other Windows-only GPS/GIS software.
I got the iMac my question is should I turn it off ? Or sleep mode
I was wondering if you guys could do a comparison between an M1 Mac Mini setup vs this new 24’ iMac? Cheers.
Yes!
@@MaxTechOfficial Very interesting comparison with Macbook Air M1. Is it worth buying an iMac in this case ?
I thought about waiting for a 27", but the '24 is already going to blow away my 2015 iMac in every way, especially for Final Cut Pro work in 4K video. All decked out with max upgrades its going to run me $3000 pretty much. But you know darn well a 27 inch is going to push that up into a $5,000 purchase, and thats just TOO MUCH. It will be a great machine but I basically just want a lot faster machine than what I have now, and the 24 inch will relieve a lot of pain, waiting for an hour video to render.
