The production quality of this video is unreeeal you go Ali ✨✨✨✨
We want your video tooooo!!!!!!!
Love your videos Kharma Medic!
Plz waiting from 2 weeks....
Waiting for your video.😀
upload your vedio buddy👍
Everyone rating his production quality but his shirt is clean too 🔥🔥
😮
New mac 🤩 new shirt ✨
I mean the whole looooks , he is bomb
Polo is always so beautiful as well as fashionable. Agree on the clean shirt but not the beginning of the right sleeve, which shown a bit of yellow dust! Am I rite, Ali? 😉
🤘🤘
2 Ali uploads in 1 day? We’ve all got an insanely productive day ahead of us
Media restrictions about iMac down today, I suppose.
@@SweetDarkViolet the embargo is ded
@@Kingbob556 thx for pointing out the most feasible word!
@@SweetDarkViolet bet
Dropped review before mkbhd, nuts
I'm not sure why Apple has done this but the iMac M1 looks sooo much better in person than it looked in their keynote.
The design truly is stunning. It's likely the prettiest PC I've ever seen.
Ali: wanting to be minimalistic
Also Ali: buys anything new and accumulates it all
I love seeing true Ali , i mean we all struggle lol
Ali justifying 24" monitor to 49" is going hard 😂
😆
I love how you dressed a proper shirt to talk about the iMac 😂
Oh man! The production quality! So inspiring and pleasing to watch 🙏
Loved the new camera angle.
love that this isn't a tech-geek review but more of an everyday use review, thanks for that
So glad you mentioned the screen size/productivity point. I am SOOOOO much more productive this way. Also, I am actually using that multiple desktop slidy over thingy on the iMac which is actually like having more screens anyway, but now that I am used to it, I am way more efficient on it! iMac all the way now.
It's a choice of lifetime when MKBHD and Ali post the same video at the same time....
To be or not to be …
It’s because the embargo was just lifted for everyone who got sent an iMac by Apple
It is because of the embargo given by Apple.
choice of a lifetime? I dont understand why he even received a review model to begin with.. hes not a tech youtuber...He is the last person I would go to in order watch and learn about any tech related product. Guess all it takes for Apple is for the youtuber to have a big audience... Im only here because I couldnt possibly believe he got a unit..let alone review it lol
@@MF_OXF Meow off!!
Ali always reviews most of the apple products.
Wow! I've never been so excited to watch your videos ' two at a time. Thanks!
Been watching a lot of Ali's videos lately. Something incredibly addictive about them lol
You can always use sidecar if you need a second screen. Great review. I’ve been through a similar transition from MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini - it definitely makes me appreciate my MacBook more because I’m using it for its actual purpose.
6:53 "Date night with J" on the list 👀👀👀👀👀
Woahhh this is really quick! Enjoyed watching your tech reviews video. The way you analyse it is 👏🏻👏🏻
The production quality of this video is insane 👏
@@main572 haha hopefully homie🤞I’ll remember you of course :)
🙌🏻🤩
Nice to see a review that talks about gaming performance. I am not a gamer anymore but it is good way of measuring and comparing performance to other computers.
As for a smaller screen allowing you to focus, this was brought up a lot as a pro for using the iPad. If a smaller screen helps you focus, great. But, at a certain point one should put effort into developing the self discipline to not get distracted or loose focus. More tech isn't always the answer to improving one's life.
This is so true! There is sooo many of this, people spending way too much on tech to “help them focus” or put up with inconvenient stuff thinking it benefits them. You should try to focus better instead of spending money.
I was waiting for This! Nice vid
i was just thinking that Ali hasn’t uploaded in a while then BAM!! 2 vids😂😂
I can’t stress enough how helpful your channel has been on my academic and personal life!! I love your videos, the effort and edition you put into it, and of course, I enjoyed even more this videos since this iMac is something I was waiting for to see!! Thank you for loving your community so much!
@@user-sd5mp8vp9l omg!!!! Ali is this you? I’ll for sure give you all my money hahahaha
I can see Ali getting two Pro XDR displays and saying "I'm never going back"
I was wondering when I was going one of this. Thanks for the review mate! Now I am convinced to buy one.
Wow Apple recognised your talent and reach and included you in the very few reviewers who got product before launch! God speed Ali 👍🏼
Shilling.
Blue definitely looks the nicest. At first the white bezels looked bad but after seeing them online so much they have started to look good.
12:19 hearing you say bob's your uncle hits different 😂 peter would be proud
I really loved the quality of this video! Please make more tech reviews like that!
I love your color grading. Amazing video as usual!
Congratulations, They finally sent you a review unit! 🔥👏🏼
?
So he doesn’t buy these? I am confused tbh
@@bingesquad1 He can’t have bought this one since the new iMac launches on Friday, but he has talked about buying Apple products by himself in earlier videos. The fact this video dropped when all other RUclipsrs uploaded theirs - =when Apple’s embargo dropped - is also a giveaway that he was given it early by Apple. Review units usually go back to Apple btw
@@riemjann1 So most of the products that he shows off (as if he owns them forever, which you never see them lying around in the next video) are merely for review purposes and quietly sends em back 😁😁👍
Gotcha !!! Makes alot of sense thank you
He must have bought it, as no declarations anyway it was gifted/ad/gifted for review, so he’d be in breach of lots of regs. In the video he said he has a spec’d one on order, but has this one at present, which implies he bought the quickest available one in the interim. Pre-orders have shipped.
The video quality is unmatched but the shirt is looking top notch on him.
For real lol
@JOHN APPLE TECH VIDEOS Wow! I really appreciate 🥺❤️
2 videos in a row! This is amazing.
I'm kinda surprised that someone as minimalistic and work efficient as you hasn't just double-downed on PC. But you make it work, so kudos to you!
I was literally waiting for his review of the Imac

Me as a medical student: must watch lectures at x2 speed and get more done in less time
Ali: here are two videos at the same time.
Me again: darn...
😂😂🤷🏻♀️
He isn't studying anymore
Releasing 2 videos at once! Awesome video production Ali!
I got the same color and model mine is coming this weekend!! I'm so excited!! Thank you for reviewing this product!
This is so extreme. 2 video uploads at the same time. Ridiculously Productive.
does minimalist mean , u buy everything that comes in the market and keep your desk clean! 🤣🤣
Yup yup
Seriously, wow the production value !
Got Ur videos as recommendation last week... From then I have watched out all your videos ❤️
Two videos in one day?? Christmas came early 😀
in one minute u mean?😂
Haha
@@MikeyAtalla it really is a holiday for us hahahah
@@JatinGarg if you look closely, the other big tech youtubers also posted a video at 9 am EST as well… makes me wonder whether apple sent this iMac to them 🤔
If I got a dollar each time Ali mentioned that he ordered the maxed out iMac, I'd order it too.
Just something so stylish about the imac. So aesthetic. And love ur videos. ☺
Two videos.. Wow
Finally can watch your video without the tension of video completion!✌😎
Can't wait for the 'I switched back to the 43" screen to stay PRODUCTIVE' video in a month followed by the 'the PRODUCTIVE reason why I switched to the new MacBook Pro" one once it is released …
Here I am so shy asking for an 8th gen ipad from my parents, and here comes Ali getting another iMac , oh jeez I am jealous.
You have really upped the production quality game. Great stuff!
about that screen size, I've previously owned windows laptop and had to plug in 24 inch monitor to multitask and get things done because it was way to small for me, but with the new MacBook Air I've found that 13 inch is really enough for me, especially with that gestures that are so useful that it's amazing how good they are, I've never thought twice when I switched to 13 inch MBA if I need more screen
What happened to the ultrawide monitor 😭
Whoa Ali was quick to release this one 👀
❤️ Glad I stumbled across your channel. Very thorough but straightforward. I subbed. Thanks!
You know your early when there is no spam bots to be seen
I don't know if you got a new camera or it's a new shirt but it looks amazing
The best one who makes a review❤️
Very nice review, thanks so much!
ali is slowly changing from nerdy productive gamer to handsome businessman lol, first it was the clothes, now is an imac and a tidy desk setup, next he will show up with a gf
😂
Then hairstyle
Did you see his to-do list at 6:52? 'Date with J' was on the list, so our man may make an intro on the channel sometime in the future :P
hehe, I agree ! He is an attractive intelligent man...quite the full package.
Haha he is so handsome
Love from India friend ❤️❤️
Exceptional video quality, Ali. Also, I love your mustard yellow socks 😂
Finally I have been waiting for u to do dis.
This channel is slowly moving from a productively channel to a tech channel! 😅
lol yes
But thats nice
Lol
@@techbyhadi5421 He's competing with Marques and Lou now!
@@ThreeTwentyTech ye lol
The amount of tech Ali uses is mind boggling.😂
This iMac setup looks really cool. My favourite is the new purple iMac. Another really nice video !
I love this type of video! We need more reviews!!
Hi Ali! I love your consumer approach!
Did you try adjusting the resolution with the WoW while gaming? With the retina 4.5k resolution your M1 chip had to render over 50% pixels on the screen than even your superultrawide you had earlier (11million compared to 7million). That is probably the reason your framerate dropped so much after the swap. One GPU core should affect that much.
Oribos is generally not a good place to check for your fps
You know what they say, clean shirt, clean setup
Lol 🤩

My 2009 iMac is close to giving up the ghost, and I considered not replacing it. I have an iPad and thought about just using that or maybe getting a laptop. However, I can’t bear the thought of not having a beloved desktop and am planning on buying the new model. I do look forward to a 24” screen. For my limited needs, the base model is very adequate. Thanks for your refreshing videos!
Love the tech content 👌🏽
Out of the 5+ iMac reviews on my sub screen today I clicked on Alis first
Great video! You should totally do a video where you compare your experience with the base model to the new one you are getting!
Oh my goodness!! Camera Quality 😀😀
Best camera seen
2 videos in one go? How to be you? 😍😂🤯

I feel sad for the people who bought a 49 inch display to max out their productivity by looking at Ali’s previous videos and now Ali is like “I feel like you don’t need a big screen to be more productive “😂
Exactly. Honestly its kinda annoying when some new tech comes out and despite being inferior all the RUclipsr's are like you know going from a 49" to a 24" has been refreshingly great. Come on doing video editing on a 24" standard screen compared to a 49" ultra- widescreen and working on a timeline doesn't and shouldn't even be compared.
@@mrmaramind I don't know why he doesn't get the high end monitor + mac book pro
@@mrmaramind True 💯
In six months if a 15"mac comes, we may have to hear this again. It will be the best screen he has used . So all those who bought 49" please bin it.
@@abrahamvarkey6342 That’s pretty funny.
I miss the dad. I mean that huge desktop
I love you bring in the WoW aspect, exactly what I wanted to know since I know I can handle my studies/work on it, but the one game I play I was unsure of! Please can you promise to update this once you received the fully decked out model? :D So sick you also play it and use it in the video lol
Looking sharp & crispy. Favorite channel these days by far. Inspiring work Ali

Maturity is when you realise every apple product is gonna grow up on you at some point so you don’t bother trying to find drawbacks to them.
Lol you’ve got Stockholmsyndrome, they got u in a chokehold and ur into it.
I thought i had to wait for ali's review I was wrong
I really liked your presentation, very good. One of the best I have seen. Thank you.
When you watch Ali after a while you can notice the growth, thank you for this review Ali, loving this blue colour ...
In terms of productivity, I would assume the ultrawide was far better. I am surprised you were okay with the transition.
Okay side note, why do you look so frikkin cute! Love the wardrobe upgrade

This is nice and minimalistic, so good for you if that’s what you wanted, but that previous screen was way better for me. I have the curved LG and would not go back to the single iMac screen size I had before. 😎👍

@@appledev3490 I know right. This was what I woke up to earlier this morning!
From how you're describing it, it sounds like you're making a ton of sacrifices/downgrades. The only real positive is that you have a sharper display, and the main reason it's noticeable is because it's a small screen, though the resolution does play a part too. As long as you're happy with the setup, that's all that matters though.
I can't wait to check out your review on the high end model of M1 Mac. Yay🎉🎉🎉
always looking forward to your uploads'

"I really don't give a toss about these Geekbench scores" finally someone said how we all feel about it.

Great review Ali! Dig the shirt
lol never been this early!🤣
Lol same here
World of Warcraft runs that slow because you were running at 4.5K which is over than 11 million of pixels. Try to put it on 1920x1080p.
Great review Ali , Love the shirt btw
I had the lg 49 also but the thing is for me the more I had the less i could be productive I can't explain why but since I sold it and bought a 27'' screen my productivity went again up. :)
The only downside of iMacs I find is that I don't have access to all the files on my Macbook Air on iMac and vice versa.
If you use ICloud, you can.
Facts
Use iCloud, you can sync desktop and documents (which is all your files)
Use GDrive for Mac
