    I’ve been waiting for 3 years now to get an iMac I’m actually excited about.

    I don’t like any of the colors and 8gb for a base model is a joke.

    They really said 27" users…y’all better get used to the 24" or go spend a fuck ton more for Studio Display and another Mac. DID I STUTTER???

      I always thought the Mac mini was really cheap. The. You realize the cost goes up $400 if want decent specs and all of the sudden it costs the same as a laptop but you still don’t have a screen, mouse, or keyboard.

        But iMac is 2.3k eur with more than 2 usb ports and 16gb ram / 512gb storage and you STILL have to buy a mouse cause the apple one is terrible. I think thats a bit more than overpriced.

    Not even an option for M3 Pro/M3 Max and Lighting accessories, but now for a higher price (in my country)? Excuse me?

    They said it had an E N O R M O U S D I S P L A Y.

    Sometimes I think they do it on purpose just to fuck with us.

      It sounded like they were trying to condition us into accepting that a new 27" or 32" model isn’t even on the horizon yet, and we should just buy the tiny little model they have already. It might work well in a doctor’s office, but there’s no way I could make my primary display a 24" screen.

    Yep. Keeping my 24 inch M1 for another 2 years at least. 💪🏼 these underwhelming refreshes make me feel better about the investment in my existing products.

      Why is your consumerism so strong that you needed to replace the M1 so soon?

      M1 is still overkill for a majority of users. You guys aren’t hardcore developers or engineers. M3 obviously isn’t for you, in any aspect.

      It’s actually insane that people are upset the “upgrades are underwhelming” as if there’s some law that they NEED to buy something new every single bloody year.

        My main desktop monitor is 32", I genuinely couldn’t imagine an all-in-one smaller than my monitor and I was genuinely surprised to see how small the M1 24" was in person.

        It’s not small small, 21.5" monitors still are around, but it’s still rather small to have an entire computer on with no options for larger sizes.

    Is there no M3 pro or pro max option for the iMac?!? Only the MacBook? Wtf. The fact that nothing else was changed…no increase in screen brightness. 1080p camera (still?!) lightning keyboard and trackpad. Man wtf

      That iMac 4.5k screen is wretched, too. I can’t believe they didn’t update anything except the processor. Gross.
