Poll: *** The official M3/M4 24” iMac thread (it has the M3/M4 chip and everything!) ***

[HACO]

I know this is the thread for the M3 iMac but I've just bought the base M1 iMac for my wife's salon to use on reception.

It's a good price, especially since the VAT can be reclaimed, effectively costing the business £666.66.

Even at £799.99 that's really good value for a general purpose device.

Very decent price for this sort of thing and it's going to look amazing there.

I am hoping a return of the 27''.... much like they finally did the 15'' air for people who didn't want the pro... one day.

You'll be waiting forever. Apple have said it's dead.

Looks like the the new M4 iMac annoucement - https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024...ac-supercharged-by-m4-and-apple-intelligence/.

£1299 for the base spec (16GB RAM min.), 12MP camera and ships Nov. 8th. Seems pretty decent, especially if coming from M1/M2 etc.

I've updated the thread title.

Mac input devices are now all USC-C as well.

Shame the Magic Mouse still charges from underneath but it gives me an RSI anyway so doesn’t really affect me.

£200 extra for the 10/10 cores over the 8/8, but the real annoyance is the 8/8 does not include the Touch ID keyboard while the 10/10 does.
******* *****

It's great to see the switch to USB though, finally.

also, + £50 for the trackpad instead of the awful mouse.

so, £1550 for what should be the base model. Appletastic.

or, about £90 less for the 8/8 with the same options added to it

8/8 doesn’t include Ethernet either which is a kick to the balls.
