      When I see it sitting pretty by itself and all, it does make me want to like it. But then I see real situations like the adapter at 7:07 and all the glaring practical flaws of all usb-c consume me.
      If my family had this computer, every time they wanted to plug something in they'd be searching for an adapter. New printer? Find an adapter. Sibling gets a flash drive from school? Adapter. Transfer pictures off the camera? Adapter.
      And once the adapter's plugged in, it's more than double the thickness it was. Practical thought kicks in and tells me to just get a mac mini and a nice monitor for a lower price.
      But I guess that's pretty PC-guy thinking, and I can certainly see why people might like it anyway.

    It was a really sensible decision, to move Apple coverage away from Linus and over here. While Apple deserves to be criticized for their backwards practices and marketing, it needs to be covered by one who, at the very least, understands its priorities, and why people ultimately gravitate towards their products. Jonathan does just that. And it's also, by far, the best crafted videos coming out of LTT. Thumbs up man. Great work all 'round.

    The orange M1 iMac is amazing. The base, mouse, and keyboard all look like a new shiny penny. The front chin looks like a beach house, and the back of it looks like neon metallic orange or the really vivid orange of maple leaves in the fall. I love it. I seen it on display in the Apple store.

    I think another point that might've gone unsaid, but is definitely related to the whole benefits of a laptop vs all-in-one desktop conversation is that there are a lot of people who don't benefit from the portability of a laptop, or don't WANT to benefit from it. In addition to the other great things mentioned about the iMac (screen, camera, speakers), a reality that I think has been lost on a lot of people is that some just aren't interested in the idea of being connected everywhere they go. Having a device that is intended to stay in one area is precisely the point for some people, because it means that they can leave whatever work they had at the desk, and move on to other things when they leave that area. The portability of laptops provides freedom, sure, but it also creates the added constraint of never truly leaving your work if it follows you everywhere you go.

      If you already have a monitor and peripherals you're happy with (many people do), Mac mini is great. If you don't (or want all-in-one simplicity), iMac is great. My main issue with iMac is when it comes time to upgrade you're getting rid of a perfectly good monitor. I know at work it stings when I send a 5K iMac off for surplus, those monitors are still beautiful.

    You’re one of the few people to entirely share my views on the thing. The new design is fantastic. Especially when you get hands on and notice the details. I still miss the logo on the front but I’m learning not to care.
    I personally don’t get the need for large internal storage these days. Most stuff is streamed or cloud hosted and external drives for mass storage are extremely affordable. Storage is the one thing that can always and easily be upgraded after the fact. All the internal storage is needed for is the OS and apps. 256GB is plenty enough for that. I went for the mid-tier with double RAM and trackpad. No regrets.

    3:10 I feel like what he fails to mention is that thickness of a computer does not affect the "wasting" of space on a desk. The main thing that affects how much space a computer/monitor takes on a desk (in my experience), is a stand, as one which takes a larger space will result in less desk space. However, the thickness of the display does not matter as it is above the desk, meaning you can still fit your phone, paperwork etc. under the display, even if it would be 3 cm thicker (if the imac got rid of the chin it would still not amount to 3cm of thickness...).

      Thats exactly my point. Making the computer thicker and batting rid of the chin would not waste any space, cause the stand (the thing that actually takes up space) would not change in size.
      I also don't agree that about the user being able to see the color. The stand is color matched, so you would still get that... and you wouldn't have an ugly (imo... I really hate pastels) pastel version of the color staring at you all the time.

They don't care about showing off things they can do in a lab, they care about selling you things you can do in your home.
