So sorry everyone- This was an absolute FAIL on my part. Both the M1 and m3 are 8 cpu core, 10gpu core configuration, also sharing the same 8gb unified memory and 256gb storage.
I have used a Magic Mouse and have loved it ever since it came out. I will say “the better mouse app” is kind of a must, but it has been my only mouse for music production on pro tools with great results 😊. Love the video !
Whats up, idleave! Tell me more about this app you speak of? I feel like apple already gives us a fair amount of customization options, so I am definitely interested in the additional benefits of this app. Thanks for taking the time to share this info with me iDleave- I appreciate it!
Hey Warped- Ive had to type out a similar message quite a bit now this morning- really shot myself in the foot with this one LOL. I am realizing that there are many of you that in fact DO really like it, and there have been a couple of great comments that detail a lot of the advantages of using it. At the end of the day, its just far too small for my hands, so the Mx master is my go to! Glad to hear you like yours and have had so many years of use out of it!! Thanks for stopping ny to comment, Warped! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Nope. I have two sets of rechargeable batteries. If one occasionally runs out I just swap in the charged ones and keep going. Afterward I put the uncharged batteries in a charger so they’ll be ready for next time.
@@Warped9 Okay--you have the Magic Mouse 1 with removable batteries; you don't have to flip it over on it's back to recharge it with a cord (unable to use it while it's recharging). I like your system better!
Hello Sti Bah!! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, and I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video! Apple is really good at tempting us with a new product, even if we know our existing one is not only working, but working really well! Just wanted to make sure no one spends that chunk of money unnecessarily. To those who are finding the M1 slowing down- I'd love to know what type of work you are doing. Including this info in future videos would be helpful for everyone watching, as well as myself! Thanks again for stopping by! ✌🏼🤟🏼
What if one plans to run a lot of photo editing software like Light Room, maybe Photoshop, Photo AI by Topaz labs etc. I never to any video stuff. Do you think the M1 IMac would be just as good. Thanks.
Hey Jeff, this can be a tough one to answer, as I'm not sure just how complex your edits are. Also, how many projects are you working on at once? Some of my viewers have mentioned having multiple jobs going on simultaneously, and depending on the complexity of each, you might end up needing the M3 with some extra memory, which would be an additional cost for either of these devices. Even without having this information, if it were me, I would go with the newer machine at this point. We are probably not all that far off from the M4, and I wouldn't want to be three generations behind. That's just three fewer years of longevity - and at what price? I would gladly pay the extra cost for the new M3 to get several more years of life out of it. That's just my logic at the end of the day, Jeff! I hope that helps in some kind of way. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions you may have!
You’re probably right. I’ll most likely buy the iMac M3 and spec it out. The last time I bought a new Mac was before 2005 and I that was a 20 in intel iMac. Still have it but can’t run any software anymore.
I think you have a real treat in store for you, Jeff! This m3 is going to be an absolute beast compared to your previous machine! Let me know what you think of it once you have some hands on time. @@jeffgermanich8105
Thanks for the comparison. May I ask how the screen reflection and glair are? Do M1 and M3 use exactly the same panel? Any improvement in screen reflection? Does it bother you in general when you are in a bright room? I want to get the iMac as a family computer in a living room with plenty of lighting.
Hey Pal, thanks for stopping by! I can't answer this one as accurately as I'd like; the reason is that I have a very brightly lit house. However, in the office area you see in the video, there is no direct light hitting the display. I don't think it's a matter of general room brightness you need to worry about; rather, will there be a direct lighting source behind the screen, such as a lamp or a window directly behind the display? If not, I think you are in the clear, as this display is capable of showing a very bright image, which wouldn't be easily washed out by a room with bright lighting. Hope that helps at all, Pal! If you do end up going with this computer, as long as you can find an appropriate place to put it, I think you're going to absolutely love it! It is the perfect family computer! Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment - I appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Running a VM on an M1 iMac with 8GB for Linux should work well for many tasks. The M1's architecture supports virtualization, and 8GB is generally sufficient for lightweight Linux VMs. Just ensure your hypervisor software is compatible with the M1 architecture, as some may be optimized for Intel-based Macs. As far as the M3 is concerned, I have not seen this personally but I would imagine it works well, unless of course nobody has optimised for this yet. Hope this helps, Mendo!! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment- I really do appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
i use mine for mostly charting, watching videos, streaming output to tv, and really nothing super intensive. M1 ok or just get m3. The memory at 8 is sufficient?
Hi cryptomon! The truth is, the m1 would totally suffice for the most people, especially those who are not doing any sort of media creation. On the other hand, I have a hard time recommending a computer that is several years old due to the fact that it will likely need to be replaced sooner than if you were to purchase the latest version. I suppose what you have to do is, ask yourself whether the difference in price is worth the additional two years that you would likely get by purchasing the latest M3 equipped version. Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman i got the m1 and abs LOVE it. It blows away my laptop by a mile. Ive really owned one other apple and it was a tablet. But this machine is just incredible and Im glad I got the basic. Its purely casual no gaming or anything too intensive. I would like an hdmi output but seems like my laptop or xbox one can handle that great
@@cryptomon86that’s awesome! I’m always happy to hear when people are happy with their purchase! I’m sure you will continue to love it for years to come! Cheers 🍻
Hi Nigel, I want to buy an imac, and I have the opportunity to buy a new m3 8g 256g for 1250 euros or and the 2021 model (but is new) m1 8g 256g for 950 euros. The difference are 300 euros between the two. What you think? I'm not a intensive user, is only to use for reading and writing documents, light 3D rendering stuff and some Excell and power point. Thank you!!!
Hello, Recardo- Thanks for stopping by!! Given your usage - reading, writing, light 3D stuff, Excel, and PowerPoint - I'd lean towards the M3 iMac. The extra 300 euros might seem a bit much initially, but it gets you the latest Apple Silicon, potentially adding a couple more years to its shelf life. Think of it as an investment for smoother sailing for those later years of its lifespan. Hope this helps, Recardo! Please drop back by and let me know what you end up doing if you get the chance! Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman Thank you very much for your answer Nigel, and I have to tell you that your work is excellent and your reviews are very useful! My congratulations! In your daily use, have you noticed many differences in performance between these models? Because the issue of lifespan is what makes me lean most towards the m3 version, on the other hand I think that maybe it's not worth that difference because maybe the m1 is enough for me. I don't know, I'm a little confused. Thank you! And sorry to bothering you. 🙏
You’re not bothering me at all, Ricardo! I don’t think that there would be a huge difference in performance for the majority of the tasks you mentioned, but as far as the 3d rendering goes- I would imagine the stronger GPU cores would definitely make a difference there. I don’t personally do this type of work, but generally speaking, this type of task benefits from stronger GPU performance, so for this, M3 is the right chip. And Once again, the additional lifespan is definitely worth the extra cash in my opinion.
@@NigelWorkman Nigel I really appreciate your response, thank you! The situation now is that the difference is no longer 300, but 500 euros, because the imac m3 promotion has already ended. Do you think is still worth it? Thanks
@@RicardoPereira-iz2ug Yikes!! Now at this point, This is becoming a much harder question…..idk man lol How much of the 3d stuff are you doing? Can you tell me what program specifically you are using and an example of the work being done? I think it really comes down to this. If this is less that 10% of the work you are doing, I might actually lean towards the m1. It will do literally EVERYTHING ELSE with ease- just not sure if the 3d work will cut it in a stock m1.
Thanks for the great comparison. Supported my idea to purchase an Imac 24 M1. Secured a used one in very good condition with basic specs for only EUR 650,00 Euro. What a beautiful piece of art. I love it.
What an amazing deal, Al! It really is a great computer, and the fact that M1 still performs at the level it does is just amazing! I really hope you are able to enjoy that beauty for years to come!! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your story, Al- I really appreciate you for doing that! Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hey Alfredo! Choosing between the M1 iMac and the M3 iMac with a discount depends on your specific needs and budget. As of today, the M1 iMac is a solid choice for most users. It offers great performance for everyday tasks like web browsing, email, streaming, and even light to moderate creative work. However, if you can get a good deal on the M3 iMac, it might be worth considering if you need a bit more power for demanding tasks like video editing or running multiple intensive applications simultaneously. The M3 processor could provide a performance boost compared to the M1, especially for those kinds of tasks. Ultimately, assess your usage patterns and what you prioritize in a computer. If budget is a major concern and the M1 iMac meets your needs, it's a fantastic option. But if you can snag a discounted M3 iMac and you require that extra horsepower, it could be a worthwhile investment. Evaluate your options based on your specific requirements and go with what aligns best with your priorities!
@@eavesphotoMy pleasure, Brian. I don’t usually upgrade ram in these machines as I tend to replace them Annually and the only time I ever see their limits is when I am doing things WAAAAY outside of my normal use case. Also, I cannot afford to 😂 Thanks for stopping by, Brian! Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment as well! 🤟🏼✌🏼
Hello, Peterh!! I think you are asking me how much ram and storage both of the computers I tested have? if so, They are the same- Both have 256gb storage and 8gb memory If that's not what you meant, please feel free to write back! Not sure if you are using translate or something, but it didn't quite come across correctly. either way, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! ✌🏼🤟🏼
To be completely fair, the Tomb Raider benchmark wasn't the best way to test the gaming performance of these chips, as it is in no way optimized for Apple silicon. There were a handful of games I could have tested, but that would have required me to spend even more money on this video. To be honest, I just couldn't afford to. 🤣 With all that said, I think it would be fairly safe to assume that under the same test method but with additional memory, there would certainly have been some improvement. How much... I have no idea. But given the fact that the Tomb Raider benchmark failed initially due to a lack of memory, adding some additional would certainly fix that problem. I think next time around, I will order three of these with different memory configurations and do some more thorough testing of those differences. Maybe by then, there will be quite a few more games optimized for these M series processors. Thanks for stopping by and raising this question, Craig. I think this will be a great topic to tackle and test in another video! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hello, Daniel! Thanks you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind comment- I really do appreciate it! Have a great day, and hope to see you on the next one!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hello William! It is an unreleased instrumental made by a good friend of mine. If you would like, I can ask him if he would allow me to share it with you? Let me know! 🤟🏼✌🏼
Thank you for the review and comparison! I’m looking to buy a iMac and the m1 is more affordable but I wanted to know any differences with each model 😅
ever since the iMac 2011 im in love with the Magic Mouse. its perfect for navigating and swiping through windows, apps and in safari especially. its like a tiny trackpad. it could be a bit bigger though, sometimes it feels a bit cramped after while. maybe im a perfect candidate for a Magic Trackpad though...
Hi Rob, I may have been exaggerating just a hair lol. I don’t HATE the MM, but the size is my biggest complaint and I definitely experienced the same crampy feeling after using it for too long. The trackpad is absolutely awesome! I totally agree that you are an excellent candidate for that. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts- I really appreciate it, Rob! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I currently have the M1 iMac and use it for Blender. I definitely should've spec it out more tho because it runs out of graphic memory when doing intensive renderings. I am currently debating on switching to the M3 or waiting for the announcement of an M4 iMac. I have also heard that they may bring back the iMac Pro space gray with the new Apple Silicon chips, so until then I think I am going to keep my M1 because I would hate to upgrade then have a new version come out right after.
I totally hear you on this, Kodi. That’s always the issue with upgrade cycles when it comes to Mac - they tend to be a little less predictable than iPhones or iPads, which follow those yearly refresh patterns. I think you are 100% correct about there being another iMac variation. Whether it’s a “pro” or perhaps just a larger display with the option of a Pro/Max chip, that would still be worth waiting for, especially considering the type of work you do. But of course, then there’s the problem of there being no confirmation of this and how long you are able to wait. Have you ever considered getting a studio? The reason I ask this is, I’m guessing if they do come out with a Pro iMac, it’ll be quite expensive similarly to the previous version. And if that is the case, you could easily get the 27-inch studio display, accompanied with the Mac Studio which I believe has a Max chip in a $2000 configuration. That puts you out about 3500 bucks all in, and that’s a pretty darn solid setup! I don’t know, maybe something worth considering if you don’t have the ability to wait for too much longer on your upgrade, especially if it’s getting in the way of your productivity with work. Anyway, just kind of throwing some thoughts out there. Hopefully at least something in there was helpful lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment and let me know what you end up doing if you think about it! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
That’s interesting, Jank- I wonder why they would do it that way? I has been a hot topic for quite some time that apple had been taking too long to refresh. As a result, people were speculating that there was going to be a much more interesting upgrade here. Looks like they were all wrong lol 😂 Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment, Jank! I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Im looking for a green color magic mouse compatible to my Imac M1 green color. I'm about to buy the black color but not matching to my color scheme. I've enjoy using it and also purchase one for my MacBook air for editing purpose on my LR. By the way great video content and hopefully I can upgrade also my M1 iMac soon. Thanks
Hey Rayan- sorry for the late response! Have you tried looking on ebay? Its such a bummer that apple doesn't allow us to purchase the color of our choice without buying the entire iMac. I hope you are able to complete your setup with the color scheme of your choice! Glad you liked the video and thanks so much fro taking the time to comment- I appreciate you!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
You and many others share this same sentiment Mustang! I would’ve never thought so many people loved it, but I was definitely wrong lol Thanks for watching the video!
- I thought I didn't like the Magic Mouse for years, but since I got one again with the M1 Imac, I just love it ! Simple, light, reliable, precise and coming with gestures, it gets the job done and looks nice. - I agree with you that the sound coming from this computer is ok but in no way fantastic. - Is it worth the upgrade ? Well, I didn't even know there had been one, and looking at it now, well definitely no ! It's good if it's your first M- Imac though of course.
Hey User, I'm glad you've learned to like the Magic Mouse (MM). I totally agree that there are some great qualities to it. For me, it is strictly a comfort problem, which is why I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of these ergonomic sleeves that several folks are starting to make. The only thing I foresee making me want to upgrade will be the larger version, which has been rumored since this current version but has been getting a lot more chatter online lately, so perhaps it's on the horizon for a 2024 debut? 🤞🏻 Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment, User-I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thanks so much, Isaac- I appreciate the feedback! Hopefully I can keep making good videos that keep you coming back! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Isaac- I appreciate you! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thats awesome, Jason- I am happy to help! Sometimes these things can take a lot of thought and consideration, but this one was pretty easy, honestly. Once again, there might be a small group of folks that need it, but I bet they represent less than 1% of those who will actually buy this spec. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment, Jason! Take care 🤟🏼✌🏼
Hey there, Leslie! I suppose on of my issues is, Its really quite hard for me to make these videos if im being honest, and to have tools that I would have to "get used too" i really need ones that just work from the start, you know? Now, on the other hand, there have been MANY of you that have responded with the same sentiment towards the MM, so it is now clear to me that there is in fact an audience for this little guy, and its a BIG one!! thanks for taking the time to comment, Leslie!! I appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
There are certainly features that make the Magic Mouse (MM) stand out from the pack. The scrolling and swiping take full advantage of the Mac UI, something I wish I had with this MX Master. In retrospect, I should have added more context to my statement; I don't like the Magic Mouse specifically for video editing, which requires an abnormal amount of mouse interactions compared to most other work-related tasks. Sure, it's easy enough to click around for simple things, but when using it in a program like Final Cut Pro and cutting through a ton of footage, it can be quite fatiguing to use. For day-to-day tasks, I could have used it, no problem! The charging on the other hand- just a really derpy design! LOL Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Vincent! I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hey JJ!! you are definitely right about the scrolling- it is MUCH smoother on the Magic Mouse than it is on anything else i've used. Thanks for taking the time to comment, JJ- I appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
It's a instrumental my dear friend made recently. He also made the beat in that last video I made for the M3 macbook video.....now that i'm thinking about it, he makes probably 50-60% of the music you hear on my channel LOL Here is a spotify link to a couple of his pages: open.spotify.com/artist/2poYWhd9IQK2dNBq7bMb24?si=tCWbTPFVQnigMsVh-w9Phgopen.spotify.com/artist/30LFlKv2ycQFoJfmR767JL?si=Gz4Mz0ZfRmuD4TtmdhjR4g Oh and...here is mine just in case! open.spotify.com/artist/7ynfBjrNg6P5xWKYZyAwWf?si=0Vdf9X6BQYaWQim0PvSrlg Thanks for stopping by the channel- ENJOY!!
I like the Magic Mouse. I use it for daily office work. No challenging tasks. Charging is awkward, but I charge when I leave work so that I can use it the next morning.
I wonder if most of the folks that have expressed no difficulty with the MM tend to have hands on the smaller side? I could see having far less difficulty using it had I not been given these long skinny fingers 😂 This would make sense to me!
I’ll take the magic mouse man. Honestly i’m just a huge apple fan as well and looking to get as much of it as i can for creative work and reviews. I’ve been working on growing my ecosystem. I just need a mac now… gunna be a little while though because money is tight for sure. Can’t find what happened to my mouse though and wouldn’t mind trying it out with my iPad. Anyways great video, just started watching recently and love the channel. Hope to see you hit that 1000 subscribers.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving that comment, Josh! I hope you are able to get all that stuff secured soon and get you reviews up and running- its a lot of fun! As far as the mouse goes, Ill put you on the list! I'll choose someone at the end of the week and will inform that person here in the comments! Good luck man! ✌🏼🤟🏼
This comment section is helping me to realize that this is a ME problem, rather than some inherent flaw in the mouse. My hands are just too large to use it as comfortably as I would like, and after using a Logitec Mx master, there is no going back!! Im glad you enjoy yours, No_more_wrath, and i have added your name to the list of potential winners! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment- appreciate ya!
No, you are correct the current Apple magic mouse has issues and, is only used by me when, I need certain functions. Started using Apple All-in-One desktop computers for my home system in the late 1990's so, I prefer a "one-button" mouse. My primary mouse is the old "one-button" optical Pro mouse (own several in both the color black and the color white). However, the magic Track Pad is great and a lot of fun to use (smile...smile).
Hey Chris, It does have some great features that are absent from any of the other options out there, but the form factor for me makes it fatiguing to use for extended periods. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours though! If it ever takes a crap on you, try the Mx master S3 from logitec- really comfortable mouse to use and has excellent customization options. I especially enjoy the automatic button remapping when changing programs! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Chris- I appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I’ve not used the Magic Mouse if you haven’t found a home for it I’ll gladly accept it 😊 thank you for the comparisons my job is looking to get a new computers and I requested an iMac pink or green one for my office.
Hello Judy! I hope they grant that request because you will absolutely LOVE your new iMac! The Magic Mouse did find a new home unfortunately, BUT lucky for you, your new Mac will indeed come with a color matched MM in the box! Please stop back by when you get your new machine and let us know what you think about it! Thanks for stopping by, Judy and hope to hear from you again!! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼

@@NigelWorkman I appreciate you replying to me so I did subscribe to your channel. I currently have a 2012 iMac, so I was kind of wondering if it was worth it to go right to the M3 iMac for work. I am trying to save some money. I do basic email Photoshop stuff and I’m making ads. I wanted at least 16 gigs of ram, because I am using a virtual machine for windows. Is it worth it just to go to the M3 or is the M1 going to be just fine for doing this stuff do you think? I do have an M2 Pro, MacBook Pro, and I’m tired of ringing in and when I have to do photos and add work.
Hey, thanks for the sub - appreciate it! So keeping in mind your specific type of work with email Photoshop, and that virtual Windows setup, both the M1 and M3 iMacs could fit the bill, easily. The M1's solid for your tasks, and honestly, unless you're gunning for some heavy-duty performance, it should suit you well. Plus, sticking with the M1 might score you a nicendiscount compared to going all out on the M3. Just throwing that out there. Let me know what you're thinking!
Hey Phil! I am waking up to quite a few new comments, which clearly show that many of you share this exact same opinion! Sounds like its a ME problem more than anything! lol. Either way, you are on the list, kind Sir. I will pick a name at random this friday, and ship the goods to that person as promised. Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by and commenting!
To achieve the speed, I read the M3 iMac needs the 512gb configuration, not the M3 iMac 256gb storage, something about second chip with the larger 512gb drive. I'm not talking about 8 vs 16 memory, it's about how Apple built the 512gb storage. Sorry I don't have better recall, it's worth checking out.
Hello, Anita! Thanks for sharing your insights! It's intriguing to hear about potential speed optimizations tied to the storage configuration of the M3 iMac. I'll definitely look into the details of how Apple has designed the 512GB storage to better understand its impact on performance. Your input is appreciated, and I'll definitely look into this and see what it's all about. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Anita- I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Your opinions are fair-minded, and videos have very nice picture quality. I'd appreciate if you could do a long-term video on the 15 Plus vs 15 Pro Max. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Anand! I happy to know you are enjoying the content! I think I could help you figure that one out without making a video as there are very few differences between the 2. Any specific question you have about them?
@@NigelWorkman One thing that does interest me is the two- vs three-lens camera systems. When an iPhones takes photos, does Apple insist that one particular lens be selected, or does the system take separate images using each of the lenses, to then combine them with some computation magic ? I know Apple does this in Portrait mode, but in general are images a product of single lenses or a combination of multiple lenses ? If the latter is true, then the Pro models could probably be worth the extra cost for me.
@@pyrology101If you’d like, I can take some still images with the camera In the default photo mode and send them to you? I have both cameras available today as my wife and I are both off. Let me know if that would help, Anand!
It’s my pleasure, Letters! Sorry I could be of more help. If for some reason I come across a good answer for you I will certainly share! Take care 🤟🏼✌🏼
My pleasure, ABC! Just wanted those who weren’t planning on doing any heavy load work, to know that this M1 can still fly through normal day-to-day tasks! Hope you enjoy your new M1!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkmanthat's exactly what I needed to know before buying this M1 iMac with 256GB and 8core GPU. I'll do some small video editing in 1080p and some in 4K, but nothing extraordinary or too complicated. That's why I hope it will do as good as my 11" iPad Pro with M1. I've already got it on my desk and will step by step learn how to use it 👌🏻 I'm used to windows and Android, so MacOS will be interesting adventure 😁😎
I'm glad to hear that the information was helpful! It sounds like your new iMac will be a great fit for your needs, especially with your video editing plans. MacOS can be quite different from Windows and Android, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time. Enjoy your new iMac and the adventure of exploring MacOS!

@@NigelWorkmanthanks a lot ! I also appreciate your answers and nice conversation :) good luck with your channel and enjoy what you're doing here🙂 #sharingiscaring
Hi Recardo! Glad you are enjoying your experience with the MM. Im hoping one day I can find one of these ergonomic sleeves that fit on the MM. A couple of companies had a kickstarter and it really looked promising, but nothing ever came of it. Im sure there are others, but this MX master S3 for mac has been a great substitute for the MM- albeit at the expense of the super smooth swiping and scrolling. Guess you cant have it all- unless of course you like the MM LOL Take care, Recardo and thanks for stopping by!!
You bring up a good point about the charging- That sucker does keep a lengthly charge!! I just wish it was a little more ergonomic ya know? After editing a complete final cut project, my hand is so stinking cramped I can hardy move it LOL. Happy to hear that it works well for you though!! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, GD- I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I love this mouse smooth and nice with just moving fingers. Just a bit too small for the hand, the new one could have the recharge plug in the front would be much convenient though. I don’t play games but your test is interesting. I do edit videos on fcp. I’m just interested with the 24g ram cos i got an M1 Mac mini with 8 g that gets blocked by browsers!!!
Hey, I get what you're saying about the mouse - smooth operation but a tad small for the mitts. Front-loading that recharge plug does make a lot of sense, too. Now, diving into the tech stuff. Editing on FCP with 24GB RAM, that's some serious horsepower, especially when those browsers are acting up on that M1. I personally have been using the 16GB M2 Pro Mac Mini for my editing, and it has been working great! If you expect to have this machine for several years, getting a higher spec is always a good idea just to make sure you can keep up with software demands as they inevitably increase. I tend to update these things pretty frequently, so I can usually get away with the base model for a year or two. Whatever you decide to do, come back and let all of us in the comments know how it's working out! Thanks for stopping by and sharing, MetalMag - I appreciate it big time!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I love the Magic Mouse lol. I have 2 of them 😂. It allows me to essentially keep my hand flat on the desk/table as i use it which is comfortable for my hands considering I have carpal tunnel lol. My mice need to either be flat like the Magic Mouse or in handshake position lol. I like the Magic Mouse though bc it takes up less space lol.
Hey, I'm glad to hear you love the Magic Mouse! It sounds like you've really found your perfect match, especially with your carpal tunnel. Unfortunately, I already gave mine away to another quick commenter. If I had another one, I'd definitely send it your way. Thanks for sharing your experience! ✌️
I’ve been using a Magic mouse since about 2015 or so. It’s my favorite mouse, it feels nice and being able to swipe and scroll on the back is wonderful.
I appreciate hearing your positive experience with the Magic Mouse! It's great that it has been your favorite mouse, and the swiping and scrolling features are something that i personally do enjoy quite a bit. Different preferences make the tech world diverse! 2 comments!! You're the man, Mendo- Thanks again ✌🏼🤟🏼
That’s a solid run, Dave! I’ve seen some companies out there that make ergonomic covers for the MM, but I haven’t tried one out yet. I really do love some of the functionality of the mouse but I just can’t stand the way it feels in my hand. Maybe that cover will change my mind? Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment Dave I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
My 2009 started to dissolve the aluminum under the sweat of my thumb. So I had to upgrade to a Magic Mouse 2, which is awesome, much better than swapping batteries. From time to time I polish it with toothpaste to keep the surface shiny. 😅
@@jansix4287 Hey! That 2009 Magic Mouse taking a hit from thumb sweat - that's some battle scars right there! Smart move upgrading to the Magic Mouse 2, way better without the battery juggle. And the toothpaste polish trick? Solid move, my friend. Tech TLC at its finest! Keep those gadgets shining bright! 💻🔧 Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Jansix- I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I’m truly sorry that you don’t like your magic mouse I have been using one in my 2008 iMac since new and even though I pretty much need to upgrade it soon I would probably try to pick up one use I’m in amputee I lost my right hand And even though I used to use a logitech pro with my right hand, it’s very difficult for me to use it now that I lost that hand so I learn how to make the best with what I have with my old magic mouse for me it works great by the way great videokeep up the good work and God bless you and your family
I'm so sorry to hear about your hand, Guillermo. That instantly made me wonder if there are any ergonomic shaped mice made for left handed folks? I realize that it is just the expectation that L handed people do what the rest of us do and control the mouse on the R, but someone had to have made one for a lefty, wouldn't you think? I'll have to check into this. I have your name on the list, my friend and i will choose someone at random on friday! Best of luck to you may man!!
You are most welcome, Jim! Plenty of people out there will disagree with me, but they miss the key point of my rationale which is- MOST people do not need anything beyond the standard 8gb. That’s not to say those that may need it don’t exist! They just aren’t the target demographic for this machine. Which is clear given the fact they don’t offer a standard config with 16gb. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Subscriber 684!! 🤟🏼✌🏼
I enjoy using the Magic Mouse I will admit with smaller hands and being able to have the gestures on it make it something I have never minded. The charging stinks but you can just do that at night and not have to worry about it again for a few months.
Hey iTalktech!! Having smaller hands would certainly make this device MUCH more usable. You are totally right about the gestures too- I try not to think about them as there is nothing else quite like it from 3rd party devices. Truth is- i miss them 😭 lol. Well, I have you on the list of potential winners of a free magic mouse! I will pick a winner friday- good luck and thanks so much for stopping by iTalktech- I really do appreciate it! 🤟🏼✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman thank you however do not include me on the list please send it to someone that can use it. I have an M3 iMac recently purchased and an older M1 at my work. I have two of them and one from a prior setup with a Mac mini I did when the studio display came out. Thanks again but someone could benefit from it over me that will get use out of it!
I actually love the Magic Mouse for everything except gaming, the multi directional scrolling is great, the default single button mode forces developers to consider their MacOS menu configurations thoroughly, contextual clicks are easy enough to activate in software, it still looks so modern it could have been designed last week and the first version this style came out 14 years ago, the mouse fits comfortably under the fingers, it’s not supposed to go in the palm of the hand, the charging port on the bottom is a great way to prevent people leaving a wireless mouse wired at all times, and you know if you let them people will just leave it plugged in, it’s a wireless mouse so Apple make you use it wirelessly, the battery lasts a long time so it’s no biggie The only struggle I find with the Magic Mouse is gaming, the touch based right-click never gives me grief while using the system normally, but during frantic gaming it’s easy to get the touch based clicks wrong, certainly not a gaming mouse
Crispin...If ever there were a front runner for a giveaway based on how well you could sell me on a magic mouse - THIS is the winning pitch! I'm actually very impressed that you were able to articulate a reasonable explanation for the charge port location! This is a very well thought out response and I appreciate you taking the time to leave it here for all of us! I will be choosing a winner this friday and will inform those interested here in the comments!! Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman Thanks! And you’re welcome, if you’re giving it away, I really do love the Magic Mouse! 🙋♂️ I understand a bunch of people just don’t like the Magic Mouse and that’s okay, I’m just amazed how many think these are “stupid” design choices made for “no reason” when in reality the design is thoroughly considered, Apple just didn’t make the same choices the haters would make, and to be honest I’m glad, millions use their magic mice daily and never think twice about it There’s a market flooded with me too mice covered in buttons, wheels, balls, and ports, but there’s nothing else quite like the Apple Magic Mouse
I have you on the list!!@@Crispin90 There certainly are a ton of gamey looking products out there. Apple has been and always will be amazing at setting themselves apart from the rest. If they could just make a bigger one we'd be in business!!
Hello, Crispin! I am happy to inform you that I have chosen you as the winner of the magic mouse giveaway! There were some great answers by others in the comment section however, you were able to give the most thorough and convincing explanation as to why you enjoy it so much. CONGRATULATIONS! I’ve never done anything like this before, so please let me know if you have any idea of how to conduct this safely in order to protect your data. I am open to suggestions. Talk to you soon!!
@@NigelWorkman Hi Nigel, thank you so much! We’ll have to message privately on another platform, if you have an email address you don’t mind revealing here I could message you there, you could verify it’s me by asking me to write something unique in these comments perhaps 🤔
Thank you, for this nice comparison review between the 2021, M-1 24-inch IMac and the new 2013, M-3 24-inch iMac. I agree with your comments no need to upgrade unless, you are coming from an older Intel model iMac then by all means skip over the M-1 version and buy one of the new M-3 iMac models. In addition, if you made an error with the specifications on your M-1 iMac (i.e. you now want more ports, more RAM, or a larger SSD) then, yes picking-up a new M-3 imac might make since (smile...smile).
Hello, transit- Thanks so much for stoping by the channel! I’m happy to hear that you agreed with my assessment and of course I’m especially happy you enjoyed the video. If you have any other topics you'd like to see, feel free to let me know. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Transit! I appreciate you 🤟🏼✌🏼
On the one hand, I have a growing feeling that Apple's Silicon chip is amazing when it comes to iPhones and laptops but seems to be less efficient when applied to Desktops, on the other I'm shocked to notice the short delays between the evolution of the 'M' series for non-upgradable computers. Apple's strategy consists in attracting its community by dangling the carrot of cheaper computers at first glance, but only savvy consumers quickly realize the real cost of the iMacs and the Incurred risk of a potential M 4 launched on the market a couple of months after. Sometime I wonder wether a large majority is endocrinated....
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It's great to hear different perspectives on Apple's Silicon chips and their application across various devices. You bring up an interesting point about the efficiency of the M series in desktops and Apple's strategy with frequent updates. I understand your concern about Apple's approach, which can make users feel the need to constantly upgrade to the latest model to stay current. It does seem like the rapid release cycle plays on the desire to have the newest device, even if the practical differences may not justify the upgrade for everyone. Your insights into the potential cost implications and the feeling of being "endocrinated" by the frequent updates are certainly thought-provoking. It's important for consumers to stay informed and make decisions based on their actual needs rather than marketing trends. Again, thank you for watching the video, Paul and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Your perspective adds valuable depth to the discussion! ✌🏼🤟🏼
My pleasure, Siri-glad you enjoyed the video! Ever since I made that statement, I have been inundated with folks proclaiming their love of the Magic Mouse-so much so that I have attempted to incorporate it back into my mobile setup. I must admit, it does have a few small benefits when editing on the go in Final Cut, but the comfort is where it all falls apart for me. I will continue to use it here and there, but as you said, the trackpad is way better, and I could not agree more! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Siri-I really appreciate you! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I definitely love Apple's Magic Mouse & choose it over all other mice. The only thing I like more is the Magic Trackpad. Note that one cannot handle the Magic Mouse the same way they handle conventional mice. Conventional mice are designed to rest under the palm - the Magic Mouse is designed to be managed with our finger tips - held with our thumbs and our pinky and ring fingers and all the touch features manipulated with our middle and index fingers. Once you figure this out and stop trying to force it to work like conventional mice its power and functionality and form of function can be unlocked.
Thanks so much for the thorough explanation! I can see why you love the Magic Mouse, especially with the way you’ve described its handling and touch features. It sounds like you’ve really unlocked its potential in a way that worked for you. If I still had mine to give away, you’d definitely be my top choice for it based on this! Thanks again for sharing your insight and adding to the conversation! ✌️🤟
I enjoy my magic mouse. As far as its charging port, I just charge the lil guy when I am asleep at night. Little fucker holds a charge for a long tiime, anyway. It takes up less space than a track pad, and really easy to use.
A very sensible and believable answer, MrShalvayez! I'll be honest, really didn't think anyone would like it, let alone multiple. The obvious answer is, OF COURSE people like it, otherwise apple would have certainly redesigned it by now. Clearly my own negative bias has influenced me to the point of not looking at the big picture. Anywho....still happy to give the "little Fxcker" away!! 🤣 Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the matter!! I appreciate your insight, MrShalvayez!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hello, Josh! After making that statement, The internet was quick to point out that there are in fact MANY fans of the Magic Mouse! I have started to use it for small tasks here and there while using my mobile editing setup. It does have a few advantages, but functionality was never my problem, it was the comfort! This sucker is just TOO small for my lanky hands LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Josh- I appreciate you! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I have had a lot of comments on this, Avp- I do love some of the features of the Magic Mouse! I really does just boil down to comfort for me. If apple could make a larger version with a little bit more of an ergonomic shape, i would be a happy camper!! Until then, Logitec Mx master s3 for Mac is my go to, and I LOVE it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting, AVP! Appreciate you taking the time! 🤟🏼✌🏼
Getting an M3 iMac to replace my year old M1 iMac (insurance claim). It's the only reason I'm upgrading, the store providing the replacement iMac didn't have any M1 in stock thanks to Apple pulling all M1 iMac's from sale.. 😁
Cool move! Getting the M3 iMac to replace your M1 due to an insurance claim and Apple's M1 iMac shortage adds an unexpected twist- It’s always great to hear stories like this where not only did the insurance work, but it actually landed you an upgrade!! 👏 Thanks for stopping by and sharing that story, Kenesu! I hope you enjoy that M3 for years to come! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hey, Whitty! Im with you on the MX master- I use the same and I LOVE every minute of it. I will admit, I miss the swiping through full screen apps with the multitouch surface on the MM, but that a small sacrifice for all the other benefits you gain with the logi Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Whitty- I appreciate you taking the time! Have a happy new year!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I feel like we should come together as a community and decide on a new word and not allow that word ever to be used t’describe an adapter EVER AGAIN 😂 Great video by the way. You know, the problem is the M1’s are just so good. The real story here is what a success Apple Silicon has been for them. Totally game changing for the entire industry if you ask me. 👊 Both the Emerald Color and that Blue are dope colors too. That emerald looked kind of fire 🔥.
YES please- no more DONGLE for me 🤣 Couldn't agree with you more when it comes to the M1- how do you convince people to upgrade when you gave them something that was sooooo good AND continues to be so after several years. IDK...im just a huge fan of Basically everything they have done since leaving intel. I will continue to use this M1 for years to come i would imagine and probably wont upgrade until they give us a bigger screen. 30 inch imac FTW!
@@JDDoug6930 Dalano, you are a genius!! I support the move from “Dongle” to “Unidapter” all day long! 😂 You heard it here first folks! None of you copycat types get any big ideas ya heard!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate you, Delano!! 🤟🏼✌🏼
Not watched the entire video yet but I would say, if you're the truly targeted customer for iMac and got the M1 edition you're good to go for a few more years. The best reason I can think of for buying a new iMac 4,5K is to have a new one with warranty. For the targeted customer.
Hello, CJ! I agree with you that a person picking up a m1 today will still have many years of use out of it. Although there are certainly a small demographic of folks that would benefit from starting off with M3- Creators for example. Much of the programming we use is still perfectly usable with M1, but Over the next 2-3 years I bet it will start to show its age. It is always my recommendation for a new buyer to start out with the newest model, if they are someone who like to use it for 4/5+ years especially. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, CJ. Appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Apple is apperently making iMac "iMac again" like it was in 1998. That was not a pro desktop computer. If you're a pro/power user and need a desktop Mac then you got these options now: Mac Mini "Pro" (M2 Pro) Mac Studio Mac Pro And yes, if you already got iMac M1, keep it for 2-3 more years! If you got something really old, go for iMac M3! :)
True words, CJ- I agree with all of this! I have been using a M2 pro mac mini for most of my editing work, but as these videos get more complex and I use higher bitrate 4k, I will likely end up needing a M3 max Studio when it arrives. This little mini has exceeded my expectations bigtime, but with my desktop, I think i just want something with insane power that I might actually keep for a little bit, ya know? Not sure how soon that refresh is coming, but thats what I have my sights on for now. Mac pro- ya that would be super dope to have, but i'm not sure if ill EVER have money for such a beast! LOL!!
The "problem" about iMac is that iMac Pro 27" in 2017. The short-term solution for the Trashcan failure. Something for pros while waiting for Mac Pro 2019. Now many users want that iMac 27" back. Even the consumer 27". "Semi pros" prefer iMac 27". But now we have a 27" display that you can use with your first Mac Studio plus the second one. That is cheaper that two iMac Pro 27". Mac Studio base model + 27" is cheaper than iMac Pro 27" was, even if you add Apple's keyboard and a simple logitech mouse. It's not all in one, it's a little bit more cables but you can live with that. It's a WORK TOOL :) I'm waiting for Mac Studio M3 Max. Got a Mac Pro Xeon (not trashcan / 2019). Time for a new Mac! I don't wanna go for M2, I want M3. M3 Max binned got 36 GB RAM and M3 Max Std got 48 GB RAM (and more CPU cores). It's pretty affordable compared to Mac Pro M2. Mac Pro is too expensive. The problem with Mac Studio is that it got no internal slots for more storage. I want 2 TB internal storage or more. I don't like that additional storage MUST be external. I wanna have the options. Mac Studio is not perfect. The good old 2500 dollar Mac Pro Xeon was so much better than Mac Studio, but now these machines are too old and Mac Studio is at least the best option. That huge heat sink and the good fan will make the Max chip work fine. But when will Mac Studio M3 come? I know it will be hand in hand with Mac Pro M3 because of the Ultra chip. But Apple can theoretically do this: only M3 Max in Mac Studio and only M3 Ultra in Mac Pro. Not sure if Apple will do that. But why not? Why would you buy Mac Pro when you can save 3000 dollar by buying Mac Studio instead? Mac Pro will sell much more if the Ultra chip is an exclusive thing.
@@cjeelde Hey! thanks for sharing your thoughts- I think you have a really great overall take on the state of Macs. That Mac Studio setup with the 27" display sounds like a smart move, cost-wise. I totally get your excitement for a Mac Studio M3 Max with more RAM and storage options. Im pretty sure that will be my next move! Im not exactly in NEED of a studio, but to be honest, I just really want one! LOL.
Just subscribed to your channel. Cool video; I tend to agree that the M1 is still suitable for most people out there. I do wish Apple had done something with the way it looks. Perhaps reintroduce the traditional silver iMac, but in the current form factor.
Hello, Gavin! I appreciate you stopping by, and a BIG thanks for subscribing! I'm with you on the way it looks- I really do think they just retrofitted the same chassis with M3. Its pretty rare that apple doesn't at least introduce a new color to the lineup, if not a complete overhaul, which is why I think that this was just an afterthought really. With that said, if a person didn't have one currently, couldn't hurt to go for M3- at least you'll get an additional 2 years of software support. 🤷🏻♂ Thanks again, Gavin! Have a great day! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Just found your channel Because of the lightning Issue I can not get her to Leave a maxed out 2013 21.5” Intel iMac. And regarding mice My 5 year old granddaughter would love the mouse for the 13” 2014 MacBook Air which I purchased for her Xmas gift. Your chickens in the back yard Very old school. In fact I will exchange a WPA book from my Mother who really believed in Being independent for the mouse.
Hello, Daniele!! Well, I think it's quite amazing that anyone these days is able to make a product that will last that long! That is a testament to the quality product that apple creates! Be that as it may, that puppy is getting pretty darn old so you may find yourself needing an upgrade sooner than you think!! I will add you to the mouse giveaway as well and will announce a winner this friday! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment, Daniele! I appreciate you! 🤟🏼✌🏼
Toss that Magic Mouse in the garbage. Get the Magic Trackpad. Why hasn't Apple come out yet a backlit keyboard. Maybe all this will be obsolete when they launch the Apple Vision Pro.
That’s exactly how I felt about it, Bob- but much to my surprise, there a tons of folks who quite enjoy the MM. I’m not sure that I will ever understand how one could “love” the MM, but there are a few features that I definitely wish I could have with my MX master. In any case, it has become clear to me through these conversations that some folks genuinely do enjoy using it, and that is quite alright with me! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Bob- I really appreciate you!! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
They would have to be obsessed in order to keep it around for so long! Can we at least get a refresh with a relocated charge port? At this point, I am 100% convinced they are trolling us all 😂 Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Borauysal- I appreciate you! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
I love the magic mouse, I love that you have to turn it upside down to charge it. I love that right clicking is a hack not many people know about, I love that I could prank my wife by connecting it as a bluetooth device on her laptop.
Hello, John! Thanks for stopping by! The Magic Mouse giveaway has been concluded, but I am still thankful that you took the time to comment! Also, trolling your wife with the mouse is genius and should at very least be a RUclips short!! 😂😂😂 Have a great day, John and thanks again for stopping by ✌🏼🤟🏼
Hi there IPUCOLUMBIA! The M3 did in fact upgrade from thunderbolt 3 (M1) to thunderbolt 4 (M3). Im with you though- This WAS NOT the upgrade I was hoping for. I would have LOVED to see support for HDR on the display, as well as a larger display option. Aside from the comparison to M1, it is in fact a great computer for someone who is just purchasing for the first time. Those new buyers will really happy with the purchase. Thanks again for taking the time to comment- I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I am NOT a Magic Mouse lover; frankly, I'm not too fond of it. On the other hand, my wife is the Magic Mouse lover. My mouse of choice is the M720 Triathlon from Logitech., I have five. Stay safe 🙏 BTW, I hope you reach your 1000 subs target. I am helping you achieve it 😂
Thanks so much, Luis!! I really appreciate the sub, Bro and, I appreciate that someone on here finally agrees with me! I am shocked by how many folks out there downright LOVE the magic mouse. Clearly I am the odd man out here 🤪 Aside from all that, I'm glad you mentioned that Logitec model- Ill have to give that M720 a shot- the fact that you have 5 of them has convinced me of that lol Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, Luis! And again- THANK YOU for the sub ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman I have checked eBay occasionally, and prices vary from $300-$1200. Mine are in mint condition with the RAM maxed out, recapped, and Blue SCSI. I also have a few other Macs, from a 68040 to PowerPCs. A few Amigas, a TRS-80/16 running Xenix, and a few Linux PCs. I use them all; the common denominator here is latex; since latex is solid in academia, it does not mind the platform in which the document is written. So I do enjoy my toys/tools, bro. I was born in 1960; if I had to be reborn again, I would choose 1960 again. I have seen lots of development through my years, and I have enjoyed the passing of time. Best regards, and stay safe🙏
100% accurate statement! Why else would there be ZERO additional updates? I mean you can't knock them for trying to recoup that money, but at least give us SOMETHING!! I suppose that's why they are one of the most valuable companies on the planet, meanwhile im sitting here at work trying to figure out how to buy more of their products I don't need!! 😂🤣 Thanks for stopping by Hof!! ✌🏼✌🏼
I agree 100 percent. By keeping everything the same (including the lighting charging ports) will help Apple, Inc. balance out their color matching inventory and continue to offer consumes six (6) different color options (smile...smile).
Great point, Primal! With Apple AI inching closer by the day- those that are interested in these features will likely see the best performance on M4. I believe M3 will be supported, but the latest iteration (M4) being purpose built with these features in mind. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Primal- I really do appreciate it!! ✌️🤟
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Just for clarity sake, In my review, I mentioned that the M3 iMac could be a great choice for someone looking to buy a new Mac, especially if they're considering their first one and don't already have the M1 model. Everyone's needs and circumstances are different, so it's important to find what works best for each person. Appreciate you checking out the video and chiming in! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Apple is rotten to the core Apple is rotten from the core.... and RAM deep into Consumer's pockets! I have purchased my last Apple product, fool me once; shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!
Sorry you had a bad experience, John. What happened that caused you to feel this way? A specific product or feature that you were disappointed with? I’m sure the other on here would benefit from knowing your story. Thanks for taking the time to comment, John. Sorry you had a bad experience 😢
Reply: Hi Dr. Z, sorry you didn't enjoy the video. To be honest, I think the type of information you were looking for (which, clearly, you were already aware of lol) will likely not be in most comparison videos, as this is not a topic a casual user will likely care about. Not saying that the things you mention don't matter, but when making these videos-as a creator, or should I say, when attempting to be a creator 🤣-I think you have to figure out pretty quickly who your audience is and make videos they will like. I think I'm doing okay so far, and the conversations I've had with real people in the comments have been lighthearted and fun! I hope you find a channel that will do a better job of speaking on your interests, Dr. Z. I appreciate your comment...even if it wasn't particularly friendly LOL. Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman For gaming comparison take resident evil or no man sky or any other native port that does not rely on Rosetta2 translation because that seems to be a bottleneck, don't know why that is. But using native arm64/metal you will see that m3 comes shortly after m2pro.
That is a great suggestion, Dr Z. I'll be honest, these videos (as amateur as they are) Cost quite a bit of money to make and as much as i wanted to test optimized games, another 100 bucks was out of the question. With that said, I tried to make it clear that this testing I did NOT represent the potential gaines one would see from M3 on optimized software. In any case, I appreciate your honesty and It will only help me to improve the way I go about doing things in the future, so THANK YOU!
I'm loving my new iMac/ 24Gb Ram, / 1T ssd storage, M3 chip, (I needed it; my older 27-inch iMac bit the dust) -- FWIW I agree with Nigel's opinion about the Magic Mouse' I didn't purchase that option, I just got the trackpad, which is wonderful to have. - FWIW I got a cool new Mouse at _________________. Best computer purchase I've made since 'The Dawn of the Consumer Computer Age,' (which I was at). -- Beautiful screen too - PHOTOSHOP and occasionaly video is my main usage; since my older Intel could handly most of the hobby & work I do I had no doubt the M3 could handle it as well, even better I figure. -- It is way better/ smooth/ fast esp. on common task I do of checking out EFFECTS on photos (use on1 plugin). Effects appear INSTANTLY, no waiting a second or two or more to see what the photo looks like...in general, get new when old no longer does what you want to do (what you actually do with your computer...not dreams of composing your next musical masterpiece in Starbucks, doing video hanging off the rim of the Grand Canyon, impress you co-workers and friends with your Browsing and Search skills, etc. -- Have fun -- [Note: PS- and if I need more power or features, I get 'em, or add them on. (like difinetely need Thunderbolt 4 dock or hub...(and the better mouse is nice). Have fun. Enjoy...Einstein would pay $$$ Millions for a computer like this. $$$ Millions! - So we can enjoy and profit from what we now have; it's cool progress.
You make a lot of great points here my friend! I especially like the einstein perspective- I can't even imagine what he would have come up with having access to such a machine back in his day...The spec you bough no less!! That sucker is a beast! Which mouse did you go with? I bought the Logitec MX master S3 and I absolutely LOVE it!! The way it automatically remaps the keys in certain programs- final cut specifically- really make my editing much more efficient and just more fun. besides all that, I'm sure you will have many many amazing years with your new machine and will create some amazing photographs! Take care, Citizen and thanks so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts for all of us to read and enjoy! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Whats up, idleave! Tell me more about this app you speak of? I feel like apple already gives us a fair amount of customization options, so I am definitely interested in the additional benefits of this app.

Hey Warped- Ive had to type out a similar message quite a bit now this morning- really shot myself in the foot with this one LOL. I am realizing that there are many of you that in fact DO really like it, and there have been a couple of great comments that detail a lot of the advantages of using it. At the end of the day, its just far too small for my hands, so the Mx master is my go to! Glad to hear you like yours and have had so many years of use out of it!!

😆 been there @@craigw.scribner6490 LOLOLOL
Nope. I have two sets of rechargeable batteries. If one occasionally runs out I just swap in the charged ones and keep going. Afterward I put the uncharged batteries in a charger so they’ll be ready for next time.

Hello Sti Bah!! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, and I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video! Apple is really good at tempting us with a new product, even if we know our existing one is not only working, but working really well! Just wanted to make sure no one spends that chunk of money unnecessarily. To those who are finding the M1 slowing down- I'd love to know what type of work you are doing. Including this info in future videos would be helpful for everyone watching, as well as myself!
Thanks again for stopping by! ✌🏼🤟🏼
What if one plans to run a lot of photo editing software like Light Room, maybe Photoshop, Photo AI by Topaz labs etc. I never to any video stuff. Do you think the M1 IMac would be just as good. Thanks.
Hey Jeff, this can be a tough one to answer, as I'm not sure just how complex your edits are. Also, how many projects are you working on at once? Some of my viewers have mentioned having multiple jobs going on simultaneously, and depending on the complexity of each, you might end up needing the M3 with some extra memory, which would be an additional cost for either of these devices.
Even without having this information, if it were me, I would go with the newer machine at this point. We are probably not all that far off from the M4, and I wouldn't want to be three generations behind. That's just three fewer years of longevity - and at what price? I would gladly pay the extra cost for the new M3 to get several more years of life out of it.
That's just my logic at the end of the day, Jeff! I hope that helps in some kind of way. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions you may have!
You’re probably right. I’ll most likely buy the iMac M3 and spec it out. The last time I bought a new Mac was before 2005 and I that was a 20 in intel iMac. Still have it but can’t run any software anymore.
I think you have a real treat in store for you, Jeff! This m3 is going to be an absolute beast compared to your previous machine! Let me know what you think of it once you have some hands on time. @@jeffgermanich8105
Thanks for the comparison.
May I ask how the screen reflection and glair are?
Do M1 and M3 use exactly the same panel? Any improvement in screen reflection?
Does it bother you in general when you are in a bright room?
I want to get the iMac as a family computer in a living room with plenty of lighting.
Hey Pal, thanks for stopping by! I can't answer this one as accurately as I'd like; the reason is that I have a very brightly lit house. However, in the office area you see in the video, there is no direct light hitting the display. I don't think it's a matter of general room brightness you need to worry about; rather, will there be a direct lighting source behind the screen, such as a lamp or a window directly behind the display? If not, I think you are in the clear, as this display is capable of showing a very bright image, which wouldn't be easily washed out by a room with bright lighting. Hope that helps at all, Pal! If you do end up going with this computer, as long as you can find an appropriate place to put it, I think you're going to absolutely love it! It is the perfect family computer! Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment - I appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
How would it work using a VM running Linux with 8GB?
Running a VM on an M1 iMac with 8GB for Linux should work well for many tasks. The M1's architecture supports virtualization, and 8GB is generally sufficient for lightweight Linux VMs. Just ensure your hypervisor software is compatible with the M1 architecture, as some may be optimized for Intel-based Macs. As far as the M3 is concerned, I have not seen this personally but I would imagine it works well, unless of course nobody has optimised for this yet. Hope this helps, Mendo!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment- I really do appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
i use mine for mostly charting, watching videos, streaming output to tv, and really nothing super intensive. M1 ok or just get m3. The memory at 8 is sufficient?
Hi cryptomon! The truth is, the m1 would totally suffice for the most people, especially those who are not doing any sort of media creation. On the other hand, I have a hard time recommending a computer that is several years old due to the fact that it will likely need to be replaced sooner than if you were to purchase the latest version. I suppose what you have to do is, ask yourself whether the difference in price is worth the additional two years that you would likely get by purchasing the latest M3 equipped version.
Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman i got the m1 and abs LOVE it. It blows away my laptop by a mile. Ive really owned one other apple and it was a tablet. But this machine is just incredible and Im glad I got the basic. Its purely casual no gaming or anything too intensive. I would like an hdmi output but seems like my laptop or xbox one can handle that great
@@cryptomon86that’s awesome! I’m always happy to hear when people are happy with their purchase! I’m sure you will continue to love it for years to come!
Cheers 🍻
Hi Nigel, I want to buy an imac, and I have the opportunity to buy a new m3 8g 256g for 1250 euros or and the 2021 model (but is new) m1 8g 256g for 950 euros. The difference are 300 euros between the two. What you think? I'm not a intensive user, is only to use for reading and writing documents, light 3D rendering stuff and some Excell and power point. Thank you!!!
Hello, Recardo- Thanks for stopping by!!
Given your usage - reading, writing, light 3D stuff, Excel, and PowerPoint - I'd lean towards the M3 iMac. The extra 300 euros might seem a bit much initially, but it gets you the latest Apple Silicon, potentially adding a couple more years to its shelf life. Think of it as an investment for smoother sailing for those later years of its lifespan. Hope this helps, Recardo!
Please drop back by and let me know what you end up doing if you get the chance! Take care!
✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman Thank you very much for your answer Nigel, and I have to tell you that your work is excellent and your reviews are very useful! My congratulations!
In your daily use, have you noticed many differences in performance between these models?
Because the issue of lifespan is what makes me lean most towards the m3 version, on the other hand I think that maybe it's not worth that difference because maybe the m1 is enough for me. I don't know, I'm a little confused.
Thank you! And sorry to bothering you. 🙏
You’re not bothering me at all, Ricardo! I don’t think that there would be a huge difference in performance for the majority of the tasks you mentioned, but as far as the 3d rendering goes- I would imagine the stronger GPU cores would definitely make a difference there. I don’t personally do this type of work, but generally speaking, this type of task benefits from stronger GPU performance, so for this, M3 is the right chip. And Once again, the additional lifespan is definitely worth the extra cash in my opinion.
@@NigelWorkman Nigel I really appreciate your response, thank you! The situation now is that the difference is no longer 300, but 500 euros, because the imac m3 promotion has already ended. Do you think is still worth it? Thanks
@@RicardoPereira-iz2ug Yikes!! Now at this point, This is becoming a much harder question…..idk man lol
How much of the 3d stuff are you doing? Can you tell me what program specifically you are using and an example of the work being done?
I think it really comes down to this. If this is less that 10% of the work you are doing, I might actually lean towards the m1. It will do literally EVERYTHING ELSE with ease- just not sure if the 3d work will cut it in a stock m1.
Thanks for the great comparison. Supported my idea to purchase an Imac 24 M1. Secured a used one in very good condition with basic specs for only EUR 650,00 Euro. What a beautiful piece of art. I love it.
What an amazing deal, Al! It really is a great computer, and the fact that M1 still performs at the level it does is just amazing! I really hope you are able to enjoy that beauty for years to come!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your story, Al- I really appreciate you for doing that! Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thanks for the advice
My pleasure, Jideo!!
In 2024 is it worth getting an M1 vs M3 At a discount?
Hey Alfredo! Choosing between the M1 iMac and the M3 iMac with a discount depends on your specific needs and budget. As of today, the M1 iMac is a solid choice for most users. It offers great performance for everyday tasks like web browsing, email, streaming, and even light to moderate creative work.
However, if you can get a good deal on the M3 iMac, it might be worth considering if you need a bit more power for demanding tasks like video editing or running multiple intensive applications simultaneously. The M3 processor could provide a performance boost compared to the M1, especially for those kinds of tasks.
Ultimately, assess your usage patterns and what you prioritize in a computer. If budget is a major concern and the M1 iMac meets your needs, it's a fantastic option. But if you can snag a discounted M3 iMac and you require that extra horsepower, it could be a worthwhile investment. Evaluate your options based on your specific requirements and go with what aligns best with your priorities!
@@NigelWorkman thanks so much. That's very helpful. I think after Apples Event on 5/07 more discounts may appear.
@@alfredtolentino8614I’m looking forward to this! Hopefully a new iPad! Take care, Alfredo! ✌🏼
Did I miss it in the video? How much ram do you have on the M1 versus the M3?
Good callout, Brian- I don’t think I mentioned it. 🤦♂️
They are both one step up from the base model which share the same 8gb memory.
@@NigelWorkman OK, that’s why you hit your ram limit. I thought you were at least going to get a 16 gig. Thank you for letting me know.
@@eavesphotoMy pleasure, Brian. I don’t usually upgrade ram in these machines as I tend to replace them Annually and the only time I ever see their limits is when I am doing things WAAAAY outside of my normal use case.
Also, I cannot afford to 😂

How much ram and ssd have both?.
Hello, Peterh!! I think you are asking me how much ram and storage both of the computers I tested have? if so, They are the same- Both have 256gb storage and 8gb memory
If that's not what you meant, please feel free to write back! Not sure if you are using translate or something, but it didn't quite come across correctly. either way, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!

@@NigelWorkman Thx for your answer. Exakt that was my question 😄
OK good! LOL@@peterh1799 Happy to help, my friend!! ✌🏼
Would 16 (or 24, in the case of the M3 chip) make a big difference in performance (for example, the "Tomb Raider" resolution and frame rate?)
To be completely fair, the Tomb Raider benchmark wasn't the best way to test the gaming performance of these chips, as it is in no way optimized for Apple silicon. There were a handful of games I could have tested, but that would have required me to spend even more money on this video. To be honest, I just couldn't afford to. 🤣
With all that said, I think it would be fairly safe to assume that under the same test method but with additional memory, there would certainly have been some improvement. How much... I have no idea. But given the fact that the Tomb Raider benchmark failed initially due to a lack of memory, adding some additional would certainly fix that problem.
I think next time around, I will order three of these with different memory configurations and do some more thorough testing of those differences. Maybe by then, there will be quite a few more games optimized for these M series processors.
Thanks for stopping by and raising this question, Craig. I think this will be a great topic to tackle and test in another video! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
The magic mouse were meant for kids. It perfectly fits my little 9 year-old cousin's hand. lol

@@NigelWorkman I just did. Thanks! 🙌🏼
Thank you for the review and comparison! I’m looking to buy a iMac and the m1 is more affordable but I wanted to know any differences with each model 😅
Hello, Belair!
As long as you’re not doing anything to taxing, you will be just fine with the m1!
ever since the iMac 2011 im in love with the Magic Mouse. its perfect for navigating and swiping through windows, apps and in safari especially. its like a tiny trackpad. it could be a bit bigger though, sometimes it feels a bit cramped after while. maybe im a perfect candidate for a Magic Trackpad though...
Hi Rob, I may have been exaggerating just a hair lol. I don’t HATE the MM, but the size is my biggest complaint and I definitely experienced the same crampy feeling after using it for too long. The trackpad is absolutely awesome! I totally agree that you are an excellent candidate for that.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts- I really appreciate it, Rob!
✌🏼🤟🏼
I currently have the M1 iMac and use it for Blender. I definitely should've spec it out more tho because it runs out of graphic memory when doing intensive renderings. I am currently debating on switching to the M3 or waiting for the announcement of an M4 iMac. I have also heard that they may bring back the iMac Pro space gray with the new Apple Silicon chips, so until then I think I am going to keep my M1 because I would hate to upgrade then have a new version come out right after.
I totally hear you on this, Kodi. That’s always the issue with upgrade cycles when it comes to Mac - they tend to be a little less predictable than iPhones or iPads, which follow those yearly refresh patterns. I think you are 100% correct about there being another iMac variation. Whether it’s a “pro” or perhaps just a larger display with the option of a Pro/Max chip, that would still be worth waiting for, especially considering the type of work you do. But of course, then there’s the problem of there being no confirmation of this and how long you are able to wait. Have you ever considered getting a studio? The reason I ask this is, I’m guessing if they do come out with a Pro iMac, it’ll be quite expensive similarly to the previous version. And if that is the case, you could easily get the 27-inch studio display, accompanied with the Mac Studio which I believe has a Max chip in a $2000 configuration. That puts you out about 3500 bucks all in, and that’s a pretty darn solid setup! I don’t know, maybe something worth considering if you don’t have the ability to wait for too much longer on your upgrade, especially if it’s getting in the way of your productivity with work.
Anyway, just kind of throwing some thoughts out there. Hopefully at least something in there was helpful lol.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment and let me know what you end up doing if you think about it! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
first m3 imac review, which makes sense. Any others presents imac m3 like it would be the first 24 inch imach of apple
That’s interesting, Jank- I wonder why they would do it that way? I has been a hot topic for quite some time that apple had been taking too long to refresh. As a result, people were speculating that there was going to be a much more interesting upgrade here. Looks like they were all wrong lol 😂
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment, Jank! I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Im looking for a green color magic mouse compatible to my Imac M1 green color. I'm about to buy the black color but not matching to my color scheme.
I've enjoy using it and also purchase one for my MacBook air for editing purpose on my LR.
By the way great video content and hopefully I can upgrade also my M1 iMac soon. Thanks
Hey Rayan- sorry for the late response! Have you tried looking on ebay? Its such a bummer that apple doesn't allow us to purchase the color of our choice without buying the entire iMac. I hope you are able to complete your setup with the color scheme of your choice!
Glad you liked the video and thanks so much fro taking the time to comment- I appreciate you!!

I love the magic mouse, I used all the time
You and many others share this same sentiment Mustang! I would’ve never thought so many people loved it, but I was definitely wrong lol
Thanks for watching the video!
- I thought I didn't like the Magic Mouse for years, but since I got one again with the M1 Imac, I just love it ! Simple, light, reliable, precise and coming with gestures, it gets the job done and looks nice.
- I agree with you that the sound coming from this computer is ok but in no way fantastic.
- Is it worth the upgrade ? Well, I didn't even know there had been one, and looking at it now, well definitely no ! It's good if it's your first M- Imac though of course.
Hey User, I'm glad you've learned to like the Magic Mouse (MM). I totally agree that there are some great qualities to it. For me, it is strictly a comfort problem, which is why I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of these ergonomic sleeves that several folks are starting to make. The only thing I foresee making me want to upgrade will be the larger version, which has been rumored since this current version but has been getting a lot more chatter online lately, so perhaps it's on the horizon for a 2024 debut? 🤞🏻

I am 66 years old , I love the magic mouse.once you get used to it I really get a lot of use out of it
Hey there, Leslie! I suppose on of my issues is, Its really quite hard for me to make these videos if im being honest, and to have tools that I would have to "get used too" i really need ones that just work from the start, you know? Now, on the other hand, there have been MANY of you that have responded with the same sentiment towards the MM, so it is now clear to me that there is in fact an audience for this little guy, and its a BIG one!!
thanks for taking the time to comment, Leslie!! I appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
It depends, using the magic mouse is a breeze, hate, no, abhor the chargning.
There are certainly features that make the Magic Mouse (MM) stand out from the pack. The scrolling and swiping take full advantage of the Mac UI, something I wish I had with this MX Master. In retrospect, I should have added more context to my statement; I don't like the Magic Mouse specifically for video editing, which requires an abnormal amount of mouse interactions compared to most other work-related tasks. Sure, it's easy enough to click around for simple things, but when using it in a program like Final Cut Pro and cutting through a ton of footage, it can be quite fatiguing to use. For day-to-day tasks, I could have used it, no problem! The charging on the other hand- just a really derpy design! LOL
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Vincent! I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I love using magic mouse! I think the scrolling is so cool!
Hey JJ!! you are definitely right about the scrolling- it is MUCH smoother on the Magic Mouse than it is on anything else i've used. Thanks for taking the time to comment, JJ- I appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
what’s the intro song?
It's a instrumental my dear friend made recently. He also made the beat in that last video I made for the M3 macbook video.....now that i'm thinking about it, he makes probably 50-60% of the music you hear on my channel LOL

I like the Magic Mouse. I use it for daily office work. No challenging tasks. Charging is awkward, but I charge when I leave work so that I can use it the next morning.
I wonder if most of the folks that have expressed no difficulty with the MM tend to have hands on the smaller side? I could see having far less difficulty using it had I not been given these long skinny fingers 😂
This would make sense to me!

Yes, I have no problem with the Magic Mouse. I can’t understand your objections.
This comment section is helping me to realize that this is a ME problem, rather than some inherent flaw in the mouse. My hands are just too large to use it as comfortably as I would like, and after using a Logitec Mx master, there is no going back!!
Im glad you enjoy yours, No_more_wrath, and i have added your name to the list of potential winners! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment- appreciate ya!
No, you are correct the current Apple magic mouse has issues and, is only used by me when, I need certain functions. Started using Apple All-in-One desktop computers for my home system in the late 1990's so, I prefer a "one-button" mouse. My primary mouse is the old "one-button" optical Pro mouse (own several in both the color black and the color white). However, the magic Track Pad is great and a lot of fun to use (smile...smile).
I grew to love the Magic Mouse
Hey Chris, It does have some great features that are absent from any of the other options out there, but the form factor for me makes it fatiguing to use for extended periods. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours though! If it ever takes a crap on you, try the Mx master S3 from logitec- really comfortable mouse to use and has excellent customization options. I especially enjoy the automatic button remapping when changing programs!

@@NigelWorkman I appreciate you replying to me so I did subscribe to your channel. I currently have a 2012 iMac, so I was kind of wondering if it was worth it to go right to the M3 iMac for work.
I am trying to save some money. I do basic email Photoshop stuff and I’m making ads.
I wanted at least 16 gigs of ram, because I am using a virtual machine for windows.
Is it worth it just to go to the M3 or is the M1 going to be just fine for doing this stuff do you think?
I do have an M2 Pro, MacBook Pro, and I’m tired of ringing in and when I have to do photos and add work.
Hey, thanks for the sub - appreciate it! So keeping in mind your specific type of work with email Photoshop, and that virtual Windows setup, both the M1 and M3 iMacs could fit the bill, easily. The M1's solid for your tasks, and honestly, unless you're gunning for some heavy-duty performance, it should suit you well. Plus, sticking with the M1 might score you a nicendiscount compared to going all out on the M3. Just throwing that out there. Let me know what you're thinking!
I really like my Magic Mouse, I don’t know what all the fuss is about.
Hey Phil! I am waking up to quite a few new comments, which clearly show that many of you share this exact same opinion! Sounds like its a ME problem more than anything! lol. Either way, you are on the list, kind Sir. I will pick a name at random this friday, and ship the goods to that person as promised. Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by and commenting!
To achieve the speed, I read the M3 iMac needs the 512gb configuration, not the M3 iMac 256gb storage, something about second chip with the larger 512gb drive. I'm not talking about 8 vs 16 memory, it's about how Apple built the 512gb storage. Sorry I don't have better recall, it's worth checking out.
Hello, Anita! Thanks for sharing your insights! It's intriguing to hear about potential speed optimizations tied to the storage configuration of the M3 iMac. I'll definitely look into the details of how Apple has designed the 512GB storage to better understand its impact on performance. Your input is appreciated, and I'll definitely look into this and see what it's all about.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Anita- I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Your opinions are fair-minded, and videos have very nice picture quality. I'd appreciate if you could do a long-term video on the 15 Plus vs 15 Pro Max.
Thanks.
Thanks so much, Anand! I happy to know you are enjoying the content! I think I could help you figure that one out without making a video as there are very few differences between the 2. Any specific question you have about them?
@@NigelWorkman One thing that does interest me is the two- vs three-lens camera systems. When an iPhones takes photos, does Apple insist that one particular lens be selected, or does the system take separate images using each of the lenses, to then combine them with some computation magic ? I know Apple does this in Portrait mode, but in general are images a product of single lenses or a combination of multiple lenses ? If the latter is true, then the Pro models could probably be worth the extra cost for me.
@@pyrology101If you’d like, I can take some still images with the camera In the default photo mode and send them to you? I have both cameras available today as my wife and I are both off. Let me know if that would help, Anand!
@@NigelWorkman It's OK Nigel. Thank you for considering my question though. Hope you keep up the great content !

@@NigelWorkmanthat's exactly what I needed to know before buying this M1 iMac with 256GB and 8core GPU.
I'll do some small video editing in 1080p and some in 4K, but nothing extraordinary or too complicated. That's why I hope it will do as good as my 11" iPad Pro with M1.

I really like the Magic Mouse.
Hi Recardo! Glad you are enjoying your experience with the MM. Im hoping one day I can find one of these ergonomic sleeves that fit on the MM. A couple of companies had a kickstarter and it really looked promising, but nothing ever came of it. Im sure there are others, but this MX master S3 for mac has been a great substitute for the MM- albeit at the expense of the super smooth swiping and scrolling. Guess you cant have it all- unless of course you like the MM LOL
Take care, Recardo and thanks for stopping by!!
I love the Magic Mouse - works perfectly and neve had an issue. Sure the charging is annoying but that's probably once a month it needs to be charged!
You bring up a good point about the charging- That sucker does keep a lengthly charge!! I just wish it was a little more ergonomic ya know? After editing a complete final cut project, my hand is so stinking cramped I can hardy move it LOL. Happy to hear that it works well for you though!!

I love this mouse smooth and nice with just moving fingers. Just a bit too small for the hand, the new one could have the recharge plug in the front would be much convenient though. I don’t play games but your test is interesting. I do edit videos on fcp. I’m just interested with the 24g ram cos i got an M1 Mac mini with 8 g that gets blocked by browsers!!!
Hey, I get what you're saying about the mouse - smooth operation but a tad small for the mitts. Front-loading that recharge plug does make a lot of sense, too.
Now, diving into the tech stuff. Editing on FCP with 24GB RAM, that's some serious horsepower, especially when those browsers are acting up on that M1. I personally have been using the 16GB M2 Pro Mac Mini for my editing, and it has been working great! If you expect to have this machine for several years, getting a higher spec is always a good idea just to make sure you can keep up with software demands as they inevitably increase. I tend to update these things pretty frequently, so I can usually get away with the base model for a year or two. Whatever you decide to do, come back and let all of us in the comments know how it's working out!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing, MetalMag - I appreciate it big time!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Great review bro!
Thanks man!! Appreciate you commenting!
I love the Magic Mouse lol. I have 2 of them 😂. It allows me to essentially keep my hand flat on the desk/table as i use it which is comfortable for my hands considering I have carpal tunnel lol. My mice need to either be flat like the Magic Mouse or in handshake position lol. I like the Magic Mouse though bc it takes up less space lol.
Hey, I'm glad to hear you love the Magic Mouse! It sounds like you've really found your perfect match, especially with your carpal tunnel. Unfortunately, I already gave mine away to another quick commenter. If I had another one, I'd definitely send it your way. Thanks for sharing your experience!
✌️
I’ve been using a Magic mouse since about 2015 or so. It’s my favorite mouse, it feels nice and being able to swipe and scroll on the back is wonderful.
I appreciate hearing your positive experience with the Magic Mouse! It's great that it has been your favorite mouse, and the swiping and scrolling features are something that i personally do enjoy quite a bit. Different preferences make the tech world diverse!
2 comments!! You're the man, Mendo- Thanks again ✌🏼🤟🏼
I absolutely love my magic mouse! Been going strong since 2009 😊
That’s a solid run, Dave! I’ve seen some companies out there that make ergonomic covers for the MM, but I haven’t tried one out yet. I really do love some of the functionality of the mouse but I just can’t stand the way it feels in my hand. Maybe that cover will change my mind?
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment Dave I really appreciate it!

My 2009 started to dissolve the aluminum under the sweat of my thumb. So I had to upgrade to a Magic Mouse 2, which is awesome, much better than swapping batteries. From time to time I polish it with toothpaste to keep the surface shiny. 😅
@@jansix4287 Hey! That 2009 Magic Mouse taking a hit from thumb sweat - that's some battle scars right there! Smart move upgrading to the Magic Mouse 2, way better without the battery juggle. And the toothpaste polish trick? Solid move, my friend. Tech TLC at its finest! Keep those gadgets shining bright! 💻🔧

I’m truly sorry that you don’t like your magic mouse I have been using one in my 2008 iMac since new and even though I pretty much need to upgrade it soon I would probably try to pick up one use I’m in amputee I lost my right hand And even though I used to use a logitech pro with my right hand, it’s very difficult for me to use it now that I lost that hand so I learn how to make the best with what I have with my old magic mouse for me it works great by the way great videokeep up the good work and God bless you and your family
I'm so sorry to hear about your hand, Guillermo. That instantly made me wonder if there are any ergonomic shaped mice made for left handed folks? I realize that it is just the expectation that L handed people do what the rest of us do and control the mouse on the R, but someone had to have made one for a lefty, wouldn't you think? I'll have to check into this.
I have your name on the list, my friend and i will choose someone at random on friday!
Best of luck to you may man!!
Thanks for not bringing up the 8 GB of RAM as a negative. The reality is for 98% of the people buying the iMac 8 GB RAM is enough. Subscriber 684 out!
You are most welcome, Jim! Plenty of people out there will disagree with me, but they miss the key point of my rationale which is- MOST people do not need anything beyond the standard 8gb. That’s not to say those that may need it don’t exist! They just aren’t the target demographic for this machine. Which is clear given the fact they don’t offer a standard config with 16gb.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Subscriber 684!! 🤟🏼✌🏼
I enjoy using the Magic Mouse I will admit with smaller hands and being able to have the gestures on it make it something I have never minded. The charging stinks but you can just do that at night and not have to worry about it again for a few months.
Hey iTalktech!! Having smaller hands would certainly make this device MUCH more usable. You are totally right about the gestures too- I try not to think about them as there is nothing else quite like it from 3rd party devices. Truth is- i miss them 😭 lol. Well, I have you on the list of potential winners of a free magic mouse! I will pick a winner friday- good luck and thanks so much for stopping by iTalktech- I really do appreciate it!
🤟🏼✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman thank you however do not include me on the list please send it to someone that can use it. I have an M3 iMac recently purchased and an older M1 at my work. I have two of them and one from a prior setup with a Mac mini I did when the studio display came out. Thanks again but someone could benefit from it over me that will get use out of it!
@@JWOY-h5hThat is very thoughtful of you! I will take you off the list 😊
Take care!!
I actually love the Magic Mouse for everything except gaming, the multi directional scrolling is great, the default single button mode forces developers to consider their MacOS menu configurations thoroughly, contextual clicks are easy enough to activate in software, it still looks so modern it could have been designed last week and the first version this style came out 14 years ago, the mouse fits comfortably under the fingers, it’s not supposed to go in the palm of the hand, the charging port on the bottom is a great way to prevent people leaving a wireless mouse wired at all times, and you know if you let them people will just leave it plugged in, it’s a wireless mouse so Apple make you use it wirelessly, the battery lasts a long time so it’s no biggie
The only struggle I find with the Magic Mouse is gaming, the touch based right-click never gives me grief while using the system normally, but during frantic gaming it’s easy to get the touch based clicks wrong, certainly not a gaming mouse
Crispin...If ever there were a front runner for a giveaway based on how well you could sell me on a magic mouse - THIS is the winning pitch! I'm actually very impressed that you were able to articulate a reasonable explanation for the charge port location! This is a very well thought out response and I appreciate you taking the time to leave it here for all of us! I will be choosing a winner this friday and will inform those interested here in the comments!! Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman
Thanks! And you’re welcome, if you’re giving it away, I really do love the Magic Mouse! 🙋♂️
I understand a bunch of people just don’t like the Magic Mouse and that’s okay, I’m just amazed how many think these are “stupid” design choices made for “no reason” when in reality the design is thoroughly considered, Apple just didn’t make the same choices the haters would make, and to be honest I’m glad, millions use their magic mice daily and never think twice about it
There’s a market flooded with me too mice covered in buttons, wheels, balls, and ports, but there’s nothing else quite like the Apple Magic Mouse
I have you on the list!!@@Crispin90 There certainly are a ton of gamey looking products out there. Apple has been and always will be amazing at setting themselves apart from the rest. If they could just make a bigger one we'd be in business!!
Hello, Crispin! I am happy to inform you that I have chosen you as the winner of the magic mouse giveaway! There were some great answers by others in the comment section however, you were able to give the most thorough and convincing explanation as to why you enjoy it so much. CONGRATULATIONS!

Talk to you soon!!

Hi Nigel, thank you so much!
We’ll have to message privately on another platform, if you have an email address you don’t mind revealing here I could message you there, you could verify it’s me by asking me to write something unique in these comments perhaps 🤔
Thank you, for this nice comparison review between the 2021, M-1 24-inch IMac and the new 2013, M-3 24-inch iMac. I agree with your comments no need to upgrade unless, you are coming from an older Intel model iMac then by all means skip over the M-1 version and buy one of the new M-3 iMac models. In addition, if you made an error with the specifications on your M-1 iMac (i.e. you now want more ports, more RAM, or a larger SSD) then, yes picking-up a new M-3 imac might make since (smile...smile).
Hello, transit- Thanks so much for stoping by the channel! I’m happy to hear that you agreed with my assessment and of course I’m especially happy you enjoyed the video. If you have any other topics you'd like to see, feel free to let me know.

love the magic mouse. Would have no other. Cannot use a normal mouse.

On the one hand, I have a growing feeling that Apple's Silicon chip is amazing when it comes to iPhones and laptops but seems to be less efficient when applied to Desktops, on the other I'm shocked to notice the short delays between the evolution of the 'M' series for non-upgradable computers. Apple's strategy consists in attracting its community by dangling the carrot of cheaper computers at first glance, but only savvy consumers quickly realize the real cost of the iMacs and the Incurred risk of a potential M 4 launched on the market a couple of months after. Sometime I wonder wether a large majority is endocrinated....
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It's great to hear different perspectives on Apple's Silicon chips and their application across various devices.
You bring up an interesting point about the efficiency of the M series in desktops and Apple's strategy with frequent updates. I understand your concern about Apple's approach, which can make users feel the need to constantly upgrade to the latest model to stay current. It does seem like the rapid release cycle plays on the desire to have the newest device, even if the practical differences may not justify the upgrade for everyone.
Your insights into the potential cost implications and the feeling of being "endocrinated" by the frequent updates are certainly thought-provoking. It's important for consumers to stay informed and make decisions based on their actual needs rather than marketing trends.
Again, thank you for watching the video, Paul and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Your perspective adds valuable depth to the discussion!
✌🏼🤟🏼
I hate the Magic Mouse. Now the Magic Trackpad is much better. Thanks for the M1 vs M3.
My pleasure, Siri-glad you enjoyed the video! Ever since I made that statement, I have been inundated with folks proclaiming their love of the Magic Mouse-so much so that I have attempted to incorporate it back into my mobile setup. I must admit, it does have a few small benefits when editing on the go in Final Cut, but the comfort is where it all falls apart for me. I will continue to use it here and there, but as you said, the trackpad is way better, and I could not agree more!
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Siri-I really appreciate you!
✌🏼🤟🏼
I definitely love Apple's Magic Mouse & choose it over all other mice. The only thing I like more is the Magic Trackpad. Note that one cannot handle the Magic Mouse the same way they handle conventional mice. Conventional mice are designed to rest under the palm - the Magic Mouse is designed to be managed with our finger tips - held with our thumbs and our pinky and ring fingers and all the touch features manipulated with our middle and index fingers. Once you figure this out and stop trying to force it to work like conventional mice its power and functionality and form of function can be unlocked.
Thanks so much for the thorough explanation! I can see why you love the Magic Mouse, especially with the way you’ve described its handling and touch features. It sounds like you’ve really unlocked its potential in a way that worked for you. If I still had mine to give away, you’d definitely be my top choice for it based on this! Thanks again for sharing your insight and adding to the conversation!
✌️🤟
I enjoy my magic mouse. As far as its charging port, I just charge the lil guy when I am asleep at night. Little fucker holds a charge for a long tiime, anyway. It takes up less space than a track pad, and really easy to use.
A very sensible and believable answer, MrShalvayez! I'll be honest, really didn't think anyone would like it, let alone multiple. The obvious answer is, OF COURSE people like it, otherwise apple would have certainly redesigned it by now. Clearly my own negative bias has influenced me to the point of not looking at the big picture. Anywho....still happy to give the "little Fxcker" away!! 🤣
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the matter!! I appreciate your insight, MrShalvayez!!

If you haven't given it away yet, my buddy just gave me an older imac that needs to be paired with a mouse. :D@@NigelWorkman
Apologies @@MrShalvayez but the winner has been chosen!
I love to use magic mouse always.
Hello, Josh! After making that statement, The internet was quick to point out that there are in fact MANY fans of the Magic Mouse! I have started to use it for small tasks here and there while using my mobile editing setup. It does have a few advantages, but functionality was never my problem, it was the comfort! This sucker is just TOO small for my lanky hands LOL

Damn bro, that mouse so intoitive and fastttt
I have had a lot of comments on this, Avp- I do love some of the features of the Magic Mouse! I really does just boil down to comfort for me. If apple could make a larger version with a little bit more of an ergonomic shape, i would be a happy camper!! Until then, Logitec Mx master s3 for Mac is my go to, and I LOVE it!

Getting an M3 iMac to replace my year old M1 iMac (insurance claim). It's the only reason I'm upgrading, the store providing the replacement iMac didn't have any M1 in stock thanks to Apple pulling all M1 iMac's from sale.. 😁
Cool move! Getting the M3 iMac to replace your M1 due to an insurance claim and Apple's M1 iMac shortage adds an unexpected twist- It’s always great to hear stories like this where not only did the insurance work, but it actually landed you an upgrade!! 👏
Thanks for stopping by and sharing that story, Kenesu! I hope you enjoy that M3 for years to come! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I HATE that mouse. I have a Logitech MX Mouse for Mac that I use when I want a mouse but most of the time I use the trackpad
Hey, Whitty! Im with you on the MX master- I use the same and I LOVE every minute of it. I will admit, I miss the swiping through full screen apps with the multitouch surface on the MM, but that a small sacrifice for all the other benefits you gain with the logi
Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Whitty- I appreciate you taking the time!

I feel like we should come together as a community and decide on a new word and not allow that word ever to be used t’describe an adapter EVER AGAIN 😂
Great video by the way. You know, the problem is the M1’s are just so good. The real story here is what a success Apple Silicon has been for them. Totally game changing for the entire industry if you ask me. 👊
Both the Emerald Color and that Blue are dope colors too. That emerald looked kind of fire 🔥.
YES please- no more DONGLE for me 🤣
Couldn't agree with you more when it comes to the M1- how do you convince people to upgrade when you gave them something that was sooooo good AND continues to be so after several years. IDK...im just a huge fan of Basically everything they have done since leaving intel. I will continue to use this M1 for years to come i would imagine and probably wont upgrade until they give us a bigger screen. 30 inch imac FTW!

Not watched the entire video yet but I would say, if you're the truly targeted customer for iMac and got the M1 edition you're good to go for a few more years.
The best reason I can think of for buying a new iMac 4,5K is to have a new one with warranty. For the targeted customer.
Hello, CJ! I agree with you that a person picking up a m1 today will still have many years of use out of it. Although there are certainly a small demographic of folks that would benefit from starting off with M3- Creators for example. Much of the programming we use is still perfectly usable with M1, but Over the next 2-3 years I bet it will start to show its age. It is always my recommendation for a new buyer to start out with the newest model, if they are someone who like to use it for 4/5+ years especially.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, CJ. Appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Apple is apperently making iMac "iMac again" like it was in 1998. That was not a pro desktop computer.
If you're a pro/power user and need a desktop Mac then you got these options now:
Mac Mini "Pro" (M2 Pro)
Mac Studio
Mac Pro
And yes, if you already got iMac M1, keep it for 2-3 more years! If you got something really old, go for iMac M3! :)
True words, CJ- I agree with all of this! I have been using a M2 pro mac mini for most of my editing work, but as these videos get more complex and I use higher bitrate 4k, I will likely end up needing a M3 max Studio when it arrives. This little mini has exceeded my expectations bigtime, but with my desktop, I think i just want something with insane power that I might actually keep for a little bit, ya know? Not sure how soon that refresh is coming, but thats what I have my sights on for now. Mac pro- ya that would be super dope to have, but i'm not sure if ill EVER have money for such a beast! LOL!!
The "problem" about iMac is that iMac Pro 27" in 2017. The short-term solution for the Trashcan failure. Something for pros while waiting for Mac Pro 2019.
Now many users want that iMac 27" back. Even the consumer 27". "Semi pros" prefer iMac 27".
But now we have a 27" display that you can use with your first Mac Studio plus the second one. That is cheaper that two iMac Pro 27".
Mac Studio base model + 27" is cheaper than iMac Pro 27" was, even if you add Apple's keyboard and a simple logitech mouse. It's not all in one, it's a little bit more cables but you can live with that. It's a WORK TOOL :)
I'm waiting for Mac Studio M3 Max. Got a Mac Pro Xeon (not trashcan / 2019). Time for a new Mac! I don't wanna go for M2, I want M3. M3 Max binned got 36 GB RAM and M3 Max Std got 48 GB RAM (and more CPU cores). It's pretty affordable compared to Mac Pro M2. Mac Pro is too expensive.
The problem with Mac Studio is that it got no internal slots for more storage. I want 2 TB internal storage or more. I don't like that additional storage MUST be external. I wanna have the options. Mac Studio is not perfect. The good old 2500 dollar Mac Pro Xeon was so much better than Mac Studio, but now these machines are too old and Mac Studio is at least the best option. That huge heat sink and the good fan will make the Max chip work fine.
But when will Mac Studio M3 come? I know it will be hand in hand with Mac Pro M3 because of the Ultra chip.
But Apple can theoretically do this: only M3 Max in Mac Studio and only M3 Ultra in Mac Pro. Not sure if Apple will do that. But why not? Why would you buy Mac Pro when you can save 3000 dollar by buying Mac Studio instead? Mac Pro will sell much more if the Ultra chip is an exclusive thing.
@@cjeelde Hey! thanks for sharing your thoughts- I think you have a really great overall take on the state of Macs. That Mac Studio setup with the 27" display sounds like a smart move, cost-wise. I totally get your excitement for a Mac Studio M3 Max with more RAM and storage options. Im pretty sure that will be my next move! Im not exactly in NEED of a studio, but to be honest, I just really want one! LOL.
Just subscribed to your channel. Cool video; I tend to agree that the M1 is still suitable for most people out there. I do wish Apple had done something with the way it looks. Perhaps reintroduce the traditional silver iMac, but in the current form factor.
Hello, Gavin! I appreciate you stopping by, and a BIG thanks for subscribing! I'm with you on the way it looks- I really do think they just retrofitted the same chassis with M3. Its pretty rare that apple doesn't at least introduce a new color to the lineup, if not a complete overhaul, which is why I think that this was just an afterthought really. With that said, if a person didn't have one currently, couldn't hurt to go for M3- at least you'll get an additional 2 years of software support. 🤷🏻♂
Thanks again, Gavin! Have a great day! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Glad you are enjoying yours, Craig! I do miss that multi touch surface sometimes...super smooth!
Toss that Magic Mouse in the garbage. Get the Magic Trackpad. Why hasn't Apple come out yet a backlit keyboard. Maybe all this will be obsolete when they launch the Apple Vision Pro.
That’s exactly how I felt about it, Bob- but much to my surprise, there a tons of folks who quite enjoy the MM. I’m not sure that I will ever understand how one could “love” the MM, but there are a few features that I definitely wish I could have with my MX master. In any case, it has become clear to me through these conversations that some folks genuinely do enjoy using it, and that is quite alright with me!

Magic Mouse sucks and Apple has an obsession with it.
They would have to be obsessed in order to keep it around for so long! Can we at least get a refresh with a relocated charge port? At this point, I am 100% convinced they are trolling us all 😂

Hi there IPUCOLUMBIA! The M3 did in fact upgrade from thunderbolt 3 (M1) to thunderbolt 4 (M3). Im with you though- This WAS NOT the upgrade I was hoping for. I would have LOVED to see support for HDR on the display, as well as a larger display option. Aside from the comparison to M1, it is in fact a great computer for someone who is just purchasing for the first time. Those new buyers will really happy with the purchase.

I think it’s the same machine with updated chips placed in all the M1 machines that never sold.
100% accurate statement! Why else would there be ZERO additional updates? I mean you can't knock them for trying to recoup that money, but at least give us SOMETHING!!

Dont get M3 wait for the Imac M4 coming this november. M1 TO M4 will be different. Powerhouse. AI.
Great point, Primal! With Apple AI inching closer by the day- those that are interested in these features will likely see the best performance on M4. I believe M3 will be supported, but the latest iteration (M4) being purpose built with these features in mind.

Hi Dr. Z, sorry you didn't enjoy the video. To be honest, I think the type of information you were looking for (which, clearly, you were already aware of lol) will likely not be in most comparison videos, as this is not a topic a casual user will likely care about. Not saying that the things you mention don't matter, but when making these videos-as a creator, or should I say, when attempting to be a creator 🤣-I think you have to figure out pretty quickly who your audience is and make videos they will like. I think I'm doing okay so far, and the conversations I've had with real people in the comments have been lighthearted and fun! I hope you find a channel that will do a better job of speaking on your interests, Dr. Z.
I appreciate your comment...even if it wasn't particularly friendly LOL. Take care!

@@NigelWorkman For gaming comparison take resident evil or no man sky or any other native port that does not rely on Rosetta2 translation because that seems to be a bottleneck, don't know why that is. But using native arm64/metal you will see that m3 comes shortly after m2pro.
That is a great suggestion, Dr Z. I'll be honest, these videos (as amateur as they are) Cost quite a bit of money to make and as much as i wanted to test optimized games, another 100 bucks was out of the question. With that said, I tried to make it clear that this testing I did NOT represent the potential gaines one would see from M3 on optimized software. In any case, I appreciate your honesty and It will only help me to improve the way I go about doing things in the future, so THANK YOU!

Best computer purchase I've made since 'The Dawn of the Consumer Computer Age,' (which I was at). -- Beautiful screen too - PHOTOSHOP and occasionaly video is my main usage; since my older Intel could handly most of the hobby & work I do I had no doubt the M3 could handle it as well, even better I figure. -- It is way better/ smooth/ fast esp. on common task I do of checking out EFFECTS on photos (use on1 plugin). Effects appear INSTANTLY, no waiting a second or two or more to see what the photo looks like...in general, get new when old no longer does what you want to do (what you actually do with your computer...not dreams of composing your next musical masterpiece in Starbucks, doing video hanging off the rim of the Grand Canyon, impress you co-workers and friends with your Browsing and Search skills, etc. -- Have fun -- [Note: PS- and if I need more power or features, I get 'em, or add them on. (like difinetely need Thunderbolt 4 dock or hub...(and the better mouse is nice). Have fun. Enjoy...Einstein would pay $$$ Millions for a computer like this. $$$ Millions! - So we can enjoy and profit from what we now have; it's cool progress.
You make a lot of great points here my friend! I especially like the einstein perspective- I can't even imagine what he would have come up with having access to such a machine back in his day...The spec you bough no less!! That sucker is a beast! Which mouse did you go with? I bought the Logitec MX master S3 and I absolutely LOVE it!! The way it automatically remaps the keys in certain programs- final cut specifically- really make my editing much more efficient and just more fun. besides all that, I'm sure you will have many many amazing years with your new machine and will create some amazing photographs!
Take care, Citizen and thanks so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts for all of us to read and enjoy!

Hey Backslash, you definitely have one of my favorite answers, but to be fair, I asked for someone to CONVINCE me of why they like it, and for that reason, I have gone with someone else. BUT…I liked you answer so much that I have decided to create a last minute runner up prize and YOU my friend are that winner!!! 🏆
Please let me know how I can reach you (email) to send over the prize!
I’ve never done this before, so I’m not quite sure of a Safeway of doing this in order to make sure everyone’s data is protected. Let me know if you have any ideas!!
Hey Nigel, im sooo happy to win this type of prize!! 🥳🏆🥹 Rules are rules and you made them, you are honest guy.. BUT, you can still fix my MISTAKE and send me another green mouse for my orange iMac, so then I can answer you, how much I love it! 🤣🤣🤓🤟🏻
But thanks to choose me.. 🥰
