New iMacs

[eerok]

I was skeptical when I first heard Apple was making its own silicon for desktops/laptops, and it actually annoyed me enough that I nuked my two Hackintoshes, but I've heard good things about the M1 chip. I'm still not interested in getting another Mini for a few years, though.

I got a bunch of 24" and 32" monitors last year with Thunderbolt and HDMI connections. Very light, the 24" (2560 x 1600) model is under two kilos and easily mounted on an artic for moving around. Thunderbolt handles video, audio, data (USB hub) and power in one neat connection from the various laptops.

Yeah, but do they look really cool like the iMacs?

(I kinda figured there was something out there that did what I wanted, I just like the bling.)

Is anyone else planning to get one of the new iMacs unveiled last Tuesday? My very first Mac was a purple iMac, a G3 model I bought in the Year 2000. I'm planning to get a purple M1 iMac for the end of next month. The new Apple Silicon chips are meant to be marvellous, and having a purple iMac again will be a real blast from the past.

Is anyone else thinking of getting an M1 iMac? What do those with M1 notebooks and Mac minis think of their performance?

Holding out for a larger screen model (17" MacBook Pro?), and rumour is they'll have M2s.

I got a Mac Mini about a year and a half ago and was disappointed. It was extremely underpowered for just about any purpose other than the most basic of word processing. And even then it took forever to open documents.
