What do you guys think of the new iMac? Also, if you missed it I released my first episode of the Best Laptop Setups which you can find here - ruclips.net/video/UQ7BFt2Ybfo/видео.html
20 out of 20 people that have come to me for advice, were best served paying almost HALF the cost to get a mac mini and the other ports a mac mini comes with. While fun, this Imac does not operate in a vacuum. It's like you forgot the mac mini existed. Love your videos, Matt. I watch everyone. I just think that folks are better off saving half the cost or better yet, getting two for the price of one. ;)
One thing that drives me crazy about “tech” reviews, not everyone is a “content creator “. Full transparency a few channels like this do point out that this is for folks who desire an apple device for productivity purposes.
Thanks Edward! I think showing content creation focused benchmarks is still important as they do a good job of pushing the system both CPU and GPU but I get your point its nice to have some variety! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Thing is, computers are SO advanced now that if you’re not looking for something that can do heavy/intensive work then you can just get the base model. There isn’t really a need to do research just get the basic one lol
By using M1 across the board - MacBook, iMac and iPad, the question is no more about performance or sheer specs, but what sort of computing experience and form factor the consumer wants. Spot on video!
Thank you for the video. I think I will be definitely going with the MacBook just because of its portability and the freedom to carry such powerhouse anytime, anywhere.
6:50 The external audio on the iMac is great for the base speakers in an AIO or compared to the speakers in most monitors. The quality of the built in speakers matters more, I think, in the MacBook than it does with the iMac because a desktop computer is easy to set up with external audio that can just stay in place.
The CPUs on the M1 devices get really hot as well, it's just that the fans don't kick in. Surface temps and CPU temps aren't the same... Great video tho
We’re looking at upgrading our very old kitchen iMac from the 1st gen aluminum model to this new one. It’s now almost 15 years old (later this year) and just as a general use family homework /FaceTime machine it’s been fantastic despite its age. And until relatively recently, it was still receiving the odd small security update despite being many years past its guaranteed support. This time around I’m actually eyeballing the new iMac with wall-mount support to move it up and out of the way on a swivel arm. That would take care of the vertical movement issue you mentioned in this video it can’t natively do.
For like a year an iPad Air has been my only computer so I am leaning towards the iMac since I already have something portable but it is a tough decision
played the review too safely in my opinion. M1 macbook laptop the way to go. Like you said you could attach it to display, speaker, etc of your choice, while being portable,
I don’t know what kind of person would be confused as to which option to buy. You either need portability or you don’t. But thank you for at least doing something different from everybody else.
I’m mainly just trying to figure out which one would be more worth it. I have an iPad Pro with magic keyboard for school, but I know I need a computer as well because I can’t do everything I need on my iPad. I’m kinda leaning towards to iMac but I’m still not sure 😂
@@megansreadingcorner I am of the opinion that the an iMac coupled with an iPad covers most scenarios. I see a macbook as a device for people who work a lot away from a fixed place or only have one device. I think the iMac 24 is an amazing bit of kit and an iPad is the most versatile device, especially the newer versions. 👍🏼
I'd say still get the MacBook Air. The Touch Bar isn't really useful for most people and you won't notice thermal throttling unless you're exporting huge projects. Even then, that'll only lead to maybe a couple more minutes of exporting.
Had the dillema of getting a laptop or an ipad...eventually bought the M1 ipad Air and realized it's more than enough for anything I can through at it when I'm on the go..So I got the iMac for the times I need productivity on a bigger screen and I'm all set with only two devices, three if I include the iphone 12 pro which was an overkill in retrospect vs the normal iphone 12
@@LIGHTISBURNING depends on your specific use...I don't do content creation or video editing etc. so for me this is all I need, maybe for you it's different
just found your channel! keep up the great work! I really enjoyed your editing style and voice-over. It really helped me out as I am trying to decide which computer I'm going to buy for iOS Development
just get the Air and a nice external display. I wish Apple made a cinema display thats basically the iMac w/o the computer guts. its such a nice screen, thin, and especially great speakers. ive never used a monitor that had good speakers.
Ordered myself the M1 MacBook Air and have the M1 iPad Pro! Loving the iPad and super excited to see how the MacBook performs compared to my current HP Spectre X360 13” late 2017 laptop!
Got the MacBook Air! My goodness the performance is amazing! Does great for photo editing and runs so much cooler. Haven’t really had a chance to test battery life since I’m using it at home as a desktop until I start school in the fall. Which model do you have?
I like u r reviews more and more when i saw other youtubers and i like u r reviewing these products as a consumer point. Awesome job man love u r work 🤩
Something else to think about for people using laptops on the move. As someone who works and travels a lot you will have accidents, drop and bash those bad boy laptops and the performance suffers. iMac is best for everyday processing and a little windows laptop for travel (as you’re usually just transferring files to a HDD and writing). That’s my take.
@@tyreebrownart They have indeed. I kinda want a laptop in case I need to work outdoors but I already spent money on the yellow iMac (which is awesome) and saving money to get the Beats Fit Pro once it is available in Australia
Excellent review. Subscribed already in the first 5 minutes coz liked the delivery and you hit the exactly point I wanted to know. I have a house hold with more people to use the computer but they don't use that much (kids and wife). Since I am the one mostly using it and do the videos and pictures for my RUclips Channel, decided to just buy the MacBook Pro...the bummer is that I will have to buy a adapter and try to hook it up on my old imac or maybe will need to buy another monitor. If you have a video with suggestions of a budget but AMAZING quality monitor, I'd love to watch it.
Do I remember correctly that the iMac has an instant account switch if you use the magic keyboard with touch ID to switch between user accounts? Is this something you tested?
I don't understand why is every reviewer saying It's a good thing that the desktop computer has a mobile processor and the same performance. It kinda defeats the purpose for me. Like I would choose the Macbook and external display all the way.
Thank you for your wonderful video, that’s helps me a-lot. I have Macbook pro 13’ inch and i decided to buy an external monitor so i can have a home setup & a portable device in the same time ❤❤❤

At 4:40 I personally did not like that you had different hardware doing different tests, rather than having the same hardware in different tests. In Cinebench R23 Single-core you had something like the Ryzen 7 4800H, but the next test Cinebench R23 its gone. Same with the next test on Premiere Pro, completely different hardware. I think its better to show the same consistency rather than changing all of them to grasp where the M1 sits compared to the others, such as the Ryzen CPU's.
Love your video! Wondering if iMac 24 desktop and MacBook are fast enough to do graphic like Adobe Creative Suite and light video and audio? Basic 8 RAM is enough to do all these? Thanks 🙏🏻
Great revue Matthew, but I still can’t decide. I currently have an old iPad Pro that is great and working fine. But I’m wanting to do better video editing probably using Final Cut Pro. Trying to decide if I should go for the MacBook Pro or new 24” iMac. Portability of the MacBook Pro adding a monitor for a bigger screen (which may slow it down) v the iMac 4.5K screen and the multimedia experience. But I have portability with my iPad. Any suggestions to help me choose Matthew?
@@GaiaAvrilPeralta I’m so glad you came back!! I ended up getting the iMac and I’m really really happy with it It’s lightweight and honestly the aesthetic makes me really happy I’m so sorry you ended up with the option that didn’t work best for you but I hope you can get an iMac too!
I wonder if they could have had better performance with a bigger body? I feel as though they left potential power on the table by putting the laptop internals into a desktop. I guess I'll have to wait for the "Proper Pro line" of M1 devices.
8*2(16GB dual-channel total) vs 16*2 (32 GB dual-channel total) will there be a difference in gaming performance..???????? not talking about professional workload.
Matthew, I had to correct you. You are talking about chassis temperature. Ryzen 5800U laptops don't reach 100 degrees chassis temperature. According to other reviewers it's usually slightly above 40 degree celcius. BUT, the processor temperature could reach above 90 celcius.
You can't compare the device's surface temperature to the internal hotspot of a CPU/GPU - that's dumb at best and malicious at worst. The M1's heat up to about 80-85 degrees as well - they output less heat, true, but their cooling is also rather lacking and, in the case of the Air, it doesn't exist. Apple really have to put better cooling assemblies in their devices - using an efficient ARM CPU/GPU/Chipset is NOT an excuse to remove cooling entirely because the heat WILL cause other components around the CPU/GPU to fail faster and it WILL degrade the electronics/board/components faster than if they were properly cooled. Looking at the internal layout, I suspect Louis Rossmann will have a lot of work in the coming years.
Great review. Personally, I hate the two-tone color schemes (the light blue looks nice to me, while the much darker blue on back and sides? Not so much...at all. I appreciated your comments toward the very end, as I’m looking to buy a computer(s) right now. Gut says a laptop for portability, while another part would like a nice desktop with a large screen for my home office. (So buying two types may be in my very near future) Thanks for making me think though. Apple burns me a little though. Just make a new IMac with enough ports and charge one price. Why make models that almost nobody sane would buy? 🙄And if you’ve got an office arrangement such that the back of the IMac will be visible (like mine), it’d help to not need dongles crap up the look because Apple won’t put in a $10 usb-A port.
Of course MacBook Pro m1 better cos we can bring it to everywhere or even can connect to 4K monitor but I still thinking of buying iMac 24 m1 but I got MacBook Pro already still thinking of it
Are you gonna do a detailed review on the legion 5 2021?? I'm just saying because i wanna know that now that you can have the real specs do you still think that legion 5 pro is a better value?
So lets say i have the early bird 2011 still the macbook pro (high sierra), Now i have the Ipad pro 12.9, and Macbook air 256GB, without the M1. Is there a point to upgrade to the I-mac if you have the latest Macbook Air?

Great review Matt. I just wish Apple gave us a choice with the color bezel you want along with the color.
20 out of 20 people that have come to me for advice, were best served paying almost HALF the cost to get a mac mini and the other ports a mac mini comes with.

Did you come to a decision what did you go for?
Nice video and very easy to understand.
At 4:40 I personally did not like that you had different hardware doing different tests, rather than having the same hardware in different tests.
In Cinebench R23 Single-core you had something like the Ryzen 7 4800H, but the next test Cinebench R23 its gone. Same with the next test on Premiere Pro, completely different hardware. I think its better to show the same consistency rather than changing all of them to grasp where the M1 sits compared to the others, such as the Ryzen CPU's.
Ya I usually just pick the closet that are together in my benchmark list. But good point! I’ll keep it more consistent for the next one

One is better off getting a MacBook and using an external monitor when you wanna be productive.
I’m still having trouble deciding
Which do you think is better long term
if you dont have one yet, go for Imac now.
You can't compare the device's surface temperature to the internal hotspot of a CPU/GPU - that's dumb at best and malicious at worst. The M1's heat up to about 80-85 degrees as well - they output less heat, true, but their cooling is also rather lacking and, in the case of the Air, it doesn't exist.

Looking at the internal layout, I suspect Louis Rossmann will have a lot of work in the coming years.

Very interesting! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
So lets say i have the early bird 2011 still the macbook pro (high sierra), Now i have the Ipad pro 12.9, and Macbook air 256GB, without the M1. Is there a point to upgrade to the I-mac if you have the latest Macbook Air?
