It really comes down to "what are you going to be using this computer for?"
If your response is "email, web browsing, word processing thats about it" then the base iMac is sufficient.
But with a horrible 8GB of base RAM, doing anything more complex than those things gets considerably less enjoyable.
I've owned both over the years from 2006 to now. Mac Mini Intel core 2 duo and later iMac intel core 2 duo way back then. Intel core i5 iMac. Intel core i7 iMac. Mac Mini Intel core i5. Mac Mini M1. iMac M1. I have iMac M3 and barely any money. I'm pretty much broke now and gotta pay back a lot of debt. So I'll just stay with my iMac M3 until end of support which won't happen probably until 2030.
ОтветитьThank you for the help. But just so you know, it’s pronounced pleth-e-ra and not pleth-o-ra
ОтветитьImac performance issue, over heating
ОтветитьI’ve been debating three configurations, Mac mini with a Thunderbolt Display, iMac or Mac mini with a Studio Display. Even after much research I’m not sure which is the best though I did grab a $100 Thunderbolt Display just in case.
Ответитьhotel rooms have tvs, tvs have hdmi ports
ОтветитьApple putting the power button on the bottom IS a BIG deal. Apple has a history of doing stupid stuff that pisses off users and buyers and then takes years to fix it if they fix it at all.
See butterfly keyboard, chargers that have the rubber rot,, taking away the ability to self repair, small amounts of built in memory, charging a small fortune for larger internal ssd chips, taking away the ability to upgrade the os yet legacy patchers can, expensive displays that the average persons cannot afford, changing keyboards and docks and connectability that render previous devices unusable like the apple pencil, crappy mice, nagging you continually about using storage and keeping the base storage at 5 gb for years and on and on and on.
I've used a 27inch iMac for years, I'd love to buy a new one, but going down in size is not an upgrade for me. If they would just make a 27inch version, or idk, even a 30-32inch pro version, I know what I'd buy. Plus my iMac speakers, even after all these years, they still sound great. I'd only need to buy a monitor and speakers, but I love how clean the all in one system makes things.
I feel like the iMac at 24inch is like a perfect second/bedroom/family computer. I just need a bigger screen. I'd literally throw money at them.
To use my existing Mac as a monitor (iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) with a Mac Mini, what would I have to do? Would it be a good idea?
ОтветитьI am torn between that or the m4 mini. I already have a monitor and a pc I use that I built but would mean that I would have to take off my monitor for the iMac. So almost leaning for the mini m4.
ОтветитьSo true about shopping for monitors. Who knew that finding a white monitor was so hard 😅
ОтветитьIf I spend $300-$500 on a monitor, it is going to be much larger than 24"
ОтветитьIf the iMac SSD goes bad can you use the screen as a monitor?
ОтветитьDo you think they’ll release a 27” (or larger) iMac this year? Thanks for the video!
Ответитьmac mini mis a waste of monet and your video is totally RIDICULOUS
Ответитьyou sound like an Apple salesman.
ОтветитьI’m confused
ОтветитьMacbook air m4 is the way to go
ОтветитьIs Mac mini is good for students
ОтветитьOverpaying for the 24' M4 iMac.... Buy a M4 Mac Mini and a very good 4-5k non Apple display and still have $100's left over ! You could even upgrade the M4 Mac Mini and come out ahead ! Already have gaming mouse, keyboard , USB hub and external HD. Or use my 27" iMac with Luna Display with new M4 Mac Mini.
ОтветитьWhat is the name of your white sliding hand support when using a mouse?
ОтветитьI replaced my old Mini with a new iMac, but then I knocked it over and cracked the display. Repair is >$600. Therefore, the Mini is a safer bet. Next Mac will be another Mini. There some nice monitors made for it!
ОтветитьIs it possible to use a mac mini or à mac studio on an iMac ?
ОтветитьComing from someone who has owned an iMac for 5 years now, I'm going with the Mac mini on my next purchase. What sucks about that move is the same thing that will also make it a better purchase in the long run: buying my own monitor and speakers for it. However, both will be much more tailored to my individual needs than an iMac would be. And, I can use the monitor and speakers for a gaming setup also.
ОтветитьI bought the M4 Mac mini with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage for CAN$1,049. I wanted Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (from Logitech) to replace my wired keyboard and non-Bluetooth mouse. I reused my old 27-inch 4k monitor.
In total, my desktop setup cost about CAN$1,250. A comparable iMac (with 24-inch monitor) would have cost CAN$2,200. And that's without the nano-textured glass.
(Experience tells me that 256GB of storage is inadequate.)
Anyway, I saved a thousand bucks, and my setup is quite sweet. Sure, my monitor isn't as nice as Apple's, but it still looks pretty darn good. I have no complaints.
Got the mini spend 400$ on a screen I dislike and 200$ on keyboards I dislike 😂
ОтветитьI have an imac 2019 and cannot stand the processor. It is so slow. Would you use a mac mini with the imac 2019 as a display?
ОтветитьThey do it so you can buy the new one when they release it. It's all about upselling the consumer.
ОтветитьWhat is the point of having different colours on the back of a computer? You know, the part no one ever sees…
ОтветитьThe reward ☺️
ОтветитьWhere did you get the keyboard with a 10 key??
ОтветитьI’m not a nerd so iMac it is
Thanks !!!
I have a 27inch want to get the M4 which monitor would you guys recommend I cannot afford the Apple monitor.
ОтветитьI have the M4 Mini and it’s great. One important side note. You CAN NOT just put it anywhere. If you set it on anything metal will cut your download speed significantly.
I tested this for myself. Sitting on my wood desk I averaged 480mbps.
I set it on top of my laptop (closed and turned off) (just as a test) my download speed dropped to 120mbps (tested multiple times).
The imac is good enough for me, i have the 16gb/512 10/10core version and i use it mostly to browse internet and play world of warcraft. Works just fine and looks good on my desk.
ОтветитьDid I miss the part about the high cost to add more storage to the mini?
ОтветитьI love ur videos. Informative and entertaining.
ОтветитьWhich m4 mac mini configuration is recommended for an iOS developer which mainly uses Xcode?
ОтветитьFor an average person with above average money supply, that iMac would be a nice choice. You get everything in the one box. For someone who is tech inclined and already has monitor, keyboard and mouse, the Mac Mini wins. Oh, a PC mouse as opposed to the Apple mouse is actually an upgrade. Why, you can right-click because you have both buttons, plus you get wider choice with those contoured right hand only mice. For the would be techie on a budget, a used Mac Mini of the Intel/AMD style can be gotten for a frighteningly low price. So, the winner depends on the price point you'll tolerate.
ОтветитьOne of the best downside of iMac is if you want to use it as a second screen… even with a MacBook Air it lags
ОтветитьLove this video! sooo informative ❤
Ответитьvery useful video, thanks fore the comparison
ОтветитьCan the iMac be used for music production? Could you please test it for us?
ОтветитьIf you want to upgrade your screen with an imac is to upgrade the imac. With the mini, change your display for a fraction of the price (don't use an apple display).
ОтветитьSi eu am renuntat la Windows dupa 20 ani pentru acest Imac 😂. E genial. Merita toti bani
ОтветитьI have the M4 imac desktop and I use an external ultra wide screens with it too. So its pretty much expandable. You can even blue tooth the imac to a Samsung tv in another room. It's so cool.
ОтветитьStyle! Style! Not a single other PC has a millionth of the style. And quality is 5 x times the gray plastic rubbish.❤
