![]() Whoever buys this likely wants the aesthetic of the all-in-one. You're unlikely to get the same resale value with a Windows All-In-One. While the demand for the M1 machine should drop going forward, it's not outlandish to think that in a few years, someone could easily recoup half of what they paid for this. With that said, this is very close to what these cost pre-owned. You might be able to argue that for a hardcore RFDer who will take advantage of the PC Optimum rebate for Apple Gift cards, and Apple's seasonal back to school promo where they give out a $200 or so gift card, someone could recoup a few hundred dollars in rebates on an M3 which for the right person might make waiting worth it. Most 24" 4K monitors cost about $300 but it isn't an apples to apples comparison.įor someone buying this as a "Facebook machine", I don't think the difference in performance between the M1 and M3 would justify an extra $700. A lesser quality 24" 4K monitor, and a keyboard+mouse with comparable build quality is going to be $500-$700 alone. ![]() Someone paying a premium for the iMac is paying for the aesthetic and the quality of the screen. The same can be said about the equivalent $1000 Lenovo, Dell, etc machine. You should be able to do casual creative work with this, like editing a simple Youtube video or working with multiple tabs/layers in Photoshop, but you won't be able to use this for professional work. Granted, we're not talking about professional Final Cut Pro or Photoshop work. I have an M2 Mac Air, it never lags with multiple tabs and programs open. It will also be fine for some creative tasks. The performance will be absolutely fine for basic productivity tasks. Try that with a Windows machine!Īpple specs don't directly translate to Windows specs. ![]() I have over 100 tabs open on Chrome on my 8GB MBA and there is zero lag. QFT - anyone who's used a Mac before knows 8GB is plenty. Not to mention their fast as hell SSDs compound this.īest comparison is when they first released the M series chips - a 2021 MBP could be specced the exact same, and be configured with either Intel Ice Lake or M1 - use them both and see which one performs better - it'll be the M1 every time.Īnd I'm someone who does 100% of my work and like 75% of everything else on a/my Windows machine. The speed gains from being directly integrated as well as having none of the compatibility "baggage" of Intel is crazy. I absolutely roast Apple for many things but memory management is not one of them - even more so now.ĨGB, unless rendering, simulations, professional video/photo editing, is absolutely fine on any M-chip Mac.Īs someone who owns Windows, M Mac, and Intel Mac machines, you simply cannot compare the RAM of new Macs that are directly integrated with the M-chips and an Intel based Mac with the same memory. Yes, and usually from people who have never used a Mac or M1 Mac.
