THE NICKY V SPECIAL
Ok Linus, I gotta disagree with you heavily on the iMacs external power brick. I work in a repair shop and have to fix iMacs fairly regularly. The most common failures on iMacs are the old HDD’s, the GPU’s that older units run, and their power supplies. In previous videos I have watched you disassemble iMacs, and you have noted how the high voltage AC capacitors are dangerous. (I have been shocked by them before, it’s not fun) to access the PSU on iMacs you also need to remove the display, which can easily be broken as it is glass, and on some models you have to buy tape kits to put the thing back together properly! By moving the power supply outside of the iMac, it only benefits right to repair. By making the PSU an external unit, it is easily user replaceable, doesn’t require you to remove the delicate glass displays, and means you won’t have to go near those scary high voltage capacitors. If anything I think the external power brick is not something to scoff at, as it copy’s the status quo of other Windows All-In-One’s by having an external brick, but it also makes the device more user serviceable, and is better for right to repair! Otherwise, great video!!
also: the heat from the power brick doesn't affect the internals of the iMac. One of the reasons why laptops don't have built-in power bricks (apart form the additional weight/size)
He isn't saying he dislikes it in that manner he just dislikes power bricks in general as he thinks the industry is trending away from it but i agree who cares.
That's quite interesting. I don't think that's why they did it, but it's certainly a nice use.
Agreed
GPUs*, HDDs*, copies*, All-in-ones*
My sister just bought one. Yeah, she could've got a M1 Mac mini, then shopped around for a screen, a keyboard, mouse, and some decent speakers... but she didn't want to do all of that. LITERALLY, one cable to plug the thing in, and started using the machine. The convenience of an all in one is something to factor in as well.
until you want to do a simple thing such as screenshotting. all the convenience of the hardware is worth nothing once you have to deal with the shitty OS.
@@Thorenhard what? Macs have screenshots
@@fdddsdfgfgrgf1 i know. but it is far from convenient. shift command 4? like wtf. thats neither intuitive nor conventient. also, still no snapping to corners for apps, instead you have to press a special button for a measly split screen. and tons of other usability hurdles and issues. so i just get confused when ppl call macs "intuitive" and "convenient"
@@ceddiexd it is not impossible, but not exactly convenient or intuitive. the trackpad is fine if you have very limited space. still, using mouse and kb is naturally faster. previous page? one click, no mouse movement needed. instead of moving your hand to the trackpad and doing gestures first (also trackpads are not exactly a mac-only thing). coding is not something average users do. and you need homebrew for stuff a linux system can do out of the box. so if you install 3rd party stuff to get linux functionality anyway .. you could go with wsl with windows just as well.
@@ceddiexd its just as natural to move the hand on a mouse as it is to move the finger on a trackpad. it is not a touchscreen. you can just as easily switch to a page in the documentation on windows as on mac. macs were used in the creative industry a lot, but for coding there shouldn't be a lot more than for other OS. And tons of nonprofessionals buy them for their "asthetic" (the uniform, boring, bland look theyve had for years) and because theyre supposedly so easy to use. yeah, wsl is not a point for windows - thats the whole point. just as homebrew isnt one for mac.
The fact that they went to the effort to do the green stripes like Linus’ car is hilarious.
Thank you, I forgot about that and was wondering
Lmao i thought they had taken it apart and couldn't get the adhesive strip replacements
Thumbs up for making me look back at the beginning of the video only to insult me. Well played, sirs.
It took me half the video before I realized the green tape was a reference to the lambo. I love it.
Came here to say the exact same thing lol
I just managed to get the reference at the end of the introduction.
What lambo?
Omg I can't believe I didn't work that out 😂
@@terrancejohnson6714 exactly what I thought
This is a really great review. Appreciate the thoroughness compared to some other popular channel reviews. Where was that gaming compatibility list from?
I think the redesign was a good call. 100% of people I know with the 21.5" iMac bought it between 2007 and 2011 and haven't cared to upgrade it since. It's a fantastic family machine for some iMovie, web, and photo organization and people who buy these aren't into tech enough to care. So they just never upgraded them.
Can’t believe you make me watch the beginning again. I’ve been tricked, I’ve been backstabbed, and I’ve been quite possibly bamboozled.
Me too. WTF I hate Linus now 😢

The way parallel processing generally works, with diminishing returns the more cores are used, I think it makes sense that you have a less than 12.5% performance drop when going from 8 GPU cores to 7 GPU cores.
Who went back to see if there really were Mac Mini hidden messages?
hahah "why are you looking at this"
Yup!
"Congrats, you played yourself."

More like an FYI, the green stripe on the iMac resembles Linus's old Honda Civic painted by his employees
Thanks! I’ve been looking for this comment. And now that you say that, makes 100% sense.

I have the 16GB RAM M1 Mac Mini, and I've been very impressed by Dolphin's Wii/GameCube performance... between that, Redream and OpenEmu I'm running games in high resolutions (in some cases with 4K texture packs) without the fans even starting up. It's surpassed my expectations. And Steam is getting much better too... I'm running the Batman Arkham Trilogy in 4K without any performance issues, along with games such as Planet Coaster and Two Point Hospital. To say the M1 isn't good for gaming, is 100% Intel's sour grapes.
But I do agree, the Mac Mini is a far far better buy than the iMac... not only is it cheaper, but with the money you save you can get a 32" UHD monitor and a thunderbolt dock for additional storage and USB ports... and it was STILL cheaper than the 24" All In One after all the accessories.
Interesting. Believable as well because I’m a novice user but looking to buy for family use and daughters schooling of course so gonna check into this. What monitor u recommend?
@@Gilmore304 I got a Samsung personally. Their 28/32” UHD displays are decent price and they are dual HDMI input so can be used for Mac and TV if you wish to.
@R yeah it’s perfect for work, editing and mid range gaming. I’m a trainee teacher so more than good enough for office, teams, cloud etc. but then as I say all the gaming examples above also. And saves you $100’s in the process compared to an iMac.
@@ben-tendoI’m actually very curious about the comparison between buying the iMac and Mac Mini with external peripherals (displays, webcams, speakers, etc.). From what I observed, in order to get a display that comes close to the iMacs display quality, it costs so much! Not to mention, webcam with centre stage, great speakers, along with mouse and keyboard is already included in the purchase price. To me, it just doesn’t really make sense to buy all these stuff separately cause it adds up quickly and it doesn’t look as cohesive as having everything in a same design language and works seamlessly. Don’t get me wrong, mac minis are great with much better thermals and I/O, its just… AN AFFORDABLE GLOSSY BRIGHT SHARP DISPLAY IS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND 😭😭
@@cjsjane I'm right there with you. With all the extras the iMac comes with, and the fact that it's all visually cohesive, it just seems like such a good buy.
"there's nothing here..." LOL, good one with the signs.
"There's nothing here, idiot"

Wow, that tape extending the wallpaper is really convincing.
oh, that's what that is for
Why the wallpaper is different?
Nice "lambo" wallpaper
i thought it was a reference to apples failing mac screens that created large lines down the screen soon before failing completely. that the EU successfully sued apple into forcing them to give buyers of effected macs free replacements.
Nah it's just a lambo reference lmao u stretchin
I've been wanting a Mac Mini for quite some time, actually. I'm a Windows machine user, but I am curious about the Mac ecosystem, and it's good to get experience with other OSes just to say you know how to use them.
Considering the generally rave reviews for the M1, I'll probably end up picking one up in future, when chip prices stabilize a bit. Maybe the next generation? Not an entry level model though. Like with this iMac, Apple has put some limitations on the lowest end Mac Mini that makes it a bit less palatable.
Nice work on Army of the Dead Linus, I could barely tell that you were added in later
Listening to iMac speakers through my monitor speakers

@@gamagama69 A "write-off" in what way? You could literally build a full desktop computer that's miles faster, has a dedicated GPU, AND still have money left over to buy a good pair of bookshelf speakers over the iMac. So I'm not entirely sure what you mean (*if I assumed correctly).
@@neobynature921 The speakers, not the iMac. They meant the speakers aren't as much of an ear-soar as you would expect, especially in comparison to other AIOs. I imagine they're fine if you had to resort to use them. As always, it's better to have a separate audio solution at least in an upgrade path if you care any.

@Be nice Why?
We're you reffering to this title as well? I dont get it
That 'Only Fans' spoof has gone to his head.....😂
Biggest issue with the Mac Mini is how challenging it is to get an iMac-grade display for the cost difference.
Exactly!
where do you get glossy displays?
In my case, I am having an issue with my display going black due to static electricity and it is driving me up the wall. I will be replacing it with an iMac to make that problem go away while also getting a nice aesthetic and internal upgrade (I opted for more RAM and storage in the iMac).
I am on the same boat. I am deciding between a Mac Mini+monitor VS Imac. Comparing the 16GB, 512GB version of both, the Mac Mini goes for $1327 with the same acessories of the Imac (Mac Mini $1099 + magic mouse $79 + magic keyboard touch ID $149), the Imac goes for $1899 (with magic mouse and magic keyboard touch ID). The difference is $572. I searched a lot and I couldn't find a monitor at the same level as the Imac's monitor for that price. The Dell U2720Q UltraSharp 4K for example is $600. And the Imac has a camera and good speakers that I would have to buy separately. I wanted the Mac Mini+monitor because I don't like those happy colors of the Imac, but it seems to me they are a better deal. If anyone here have a recomendation of a Monitor as good as Imac´s for under $600, let me know
@@PEMAMETAL The Mac mini doesn’t include any accessories (keyboard and mouse) it will cost you at least another $200 if you want Touch ID in your keyboard and a Magic Mouse/trackpad with the Mac mini
@@PEMAMETAL I hate the Color’s too, so I bought the grey one.

@@georgewendell Search for LTT Lambo
@@georgewendell It's a joke reference to Linus' old Honda Civic (known as the 'Lambo'), that was custom painted pink with green stripes down the middle. It was a video on their Channel Super Fun (circa 2015).
Linus and Anthony time machine idea : It's feasible
The editors : Blur goes Blrrrrrrrrr
why the blur tho..
I think the extra core in the 8-core model puts out just the right amount of heat to saturate the thermal control system and throttle it. Whereas the 7-core model reduces the throttling and allows the 7 cores to run faster. Thus the slight discrepancy in benchmarks.
I love the subliminal little note at the end, and yes I went back to check. Well done
The humor in the last few episodes has been pitch perfect. The subliminal trick was amazing and going back yielded a pretty big belly laugh. Go LTT!
yeah this and the ipad vid are standouts for sure
the subliminal messages made me genuinely laugh. It's so rare that a video makes me evoke a real action
I am going to buy one of these soon and this was VERY helpful thank you
I vacillated between the 24" iMac M1 8/8 and the Mac Mini. Two things drove me to buy the iMac; finding a display I could afford that would rival the 4.5K Retina display and the lack of cable clutter inherent with the mini. As far as ports go I added the color matching Minisopuru USB hub (external NVMe SSD, 2 USB A, 2 USB 3.2 A/C & TF & SD card slots)
I'm so glad I rewound the video at the end to just get told that I played myself.... Thanks LTT
Well I don't want to get played twice in one day!
Secret messages throughout the videos needs to become a staple LTT thing!!
When I heard “closlier” at 2:27 I was like wait wait wait, did I hear that right??
I bought the Mac MIni (edu pricing and upped to 16 GB), but I the price comparison isn't fair. The Imac comes with a high end display and stand, apple keyboard, and magic mouse. I don't think of myself as a mac faithful, but I'm hooked on those input devices. They are really nice. JMO display/stand is +500, keyboard and mouse is +180. And now go get as nice a camera and speakers. It's also aesthetically nice enough set up that it would go well in a living room or fancy kitchen area. So the price difference really isn't big.
I really like the edit to show that "stupider" is a grammatically correct, that was funny

Thanks Linus! I was planning on get the mini and have been trying to figure out why everyone keeps saying the iMac is worth the inflated price. I'll stick to my plan and get the mini for my mac os machine!
The display is worth ~$800, but if you don’t need it stick to the Mac mini.
Could a similar approach be made with GPU’s as Apple’s approach with apple silicon/ M1? For example, I understand that apple was not happy with anything intel was putting out so they invested in their own silicon and engineered their own chips. Could Sony or Microsoft take the same approach with GPU’s; end things with AMD and manufacture their own graphics cards for consoles?
I'm not even going to buy this or mac mini but still watched till end :D
I haven't bought an apple product since the iPhone 4 and I'm still watchin this.

I’m glad you said get the Mac mini because I was very excited about it and then when these iMacs came out I was wondering whether I should consider this… Mac mini seems like a super good deal for pretty much the same amount of power.
Been curious about the best way to get into Macs and now with the mini being the best one and excellent price, finally Mac is priced appropriately.

Dang, you guys did a great job with this video! And overall, your videos are even more creative lately!
Lovely video! I have missed another point you all made on other videos: the cheaper imac have less fans and roughly the same performance but the lesser fans could result on better long term reliability due to less dust and moving parts on the inside like you guys said on the mb air video. I feel like most people buying this machine, doesnt need ethernet tho it also doesnt include the keyboard with touch id.
I work on this model at school, and I LOVE IT. Adobe (hell) runs smoothly (no crashing, rarely. But still choke it to work)
What a great ending! 😁 loved it
That conclusion made me rewatch the whole video just to see if there’s any more easter eggs
If I were buying a Mac I would go definitely go for the Mac Mini not only because of price but the freedom choosing a monitor and keyboard, especially the ergonomics on the keyboard matter a lot to me. A modularised computer also means that if one part module, say the screen is damaged, I can easily replace without having to lose the whole computer 🖥.
The first 8 seconds… i rewatched after that ending. WOW! Very nice subliminal work :)
I've gamed on my 2014 imac for years before getting a PC again, and I was playing stuff like Overwatch at a solid 60fps at 2k.
The trick is you gotta use bootcamp for gaming. If you play fortnite on iOS it'll play like crap, but if you run bootcamp and then play on windows, it runs great.
The thing is that the ram and storage limitations of the lower tier iMac already make it a no go for anyone that would take advantage of the better cooling. Apple knows this and decided to not waste money on fans that won’t ever be used. I do agree that they could have at least put a disclaimer at the bottom of the spec page. Can’t wait for the new 27in/iMac pro replacement.
"Stupid for so long that the meme is dead" is the core of Apple's identity.
yeah, basically. Every single thing they were being mocked for did not go away. It stayed till people got bored with laughing at it
absolutely true, the freaking huge notch on the iphone is a proud example !!!
And for people to make fun of Apple for being Apple definitely isn’t old.
@@bongkem2723 or the fact that they still haven’t added a calculator or weather app to the iPad lol. It’s been 10 years guys
I use the magic mouse for editing in Final Cut Pro and the port on the bottom does not bother me at all because the battery lasts for weeks and charging it enough to last for days takes minutes. I don't see a reason for apple to change the port location.
Hahah...I loved the summary. I seem to be the minority of actually going for Mac mini after all, after watching sooo many reviews already:)

Well video quality is often a function of the team. It looks like LMG has hired a team of pros. I'm not into the apple content but I can appreciate the video quality.
When no new Macs were announced at WWDC, I ordered a Mac mini, so I followed your recommendation before watching the video. I watched the whole thing anyway. I really wanted more ports. I have a Logitech wireless mouse adapter, a Wacom tablet, and three USB drives plugged into my 2014 iMac.
Linus, my guy, please get better captions on your videos. FXAA becomes "ethics AA", cores become "course", and so many more. I appreciate that you guys have captions at all (it's a huge accessibility aid), but I'm sure there are better caption providers that don't cost much more.

The last Mac I bought was a i7 Mac Mini in 2012, I switched to Linux full time in 2014 and really haven't thought seriously about buying another Mac since. I am somewhat intrigued by Apple Silicon, but not enough to buy an M1. As most long-time Apple users know, you shouldn't buy any first generation Apple product because the one that follows it is almost always better. That said, unless the M1.5, M2 or whatever Apple calls it is exponentially better, what's the point? I'm happy with Linux and I like the price/performance metrics that it includes.
Don't be like that, I stayed till the end & glad to have heard your recommendation!
I've never understood why people complain so much about bezels in general. I'd much rather have something durable than something "sleek".
Same with square phones, its what apple even did now
@@Djuntas that is specifically the reason I stopped using Samsung phones. The stupid curved edges on the screen so great now I always have glare. Or the rounded edges. Or the absolutely dumb hole punch camera.
@Linus Tech Tip. Hey if you want to let me in on your scam I'll help you. I live in the USA.
@Linus Tech Tip. The fact you're using a name that's close but not quite the channel owner. The fact you're posting what's app numbers. You know... Things Linus doesn't do. However I don't care. If you've got a way to make money doing what you're doing I'm interested in hearing about it and trying to benefit myself.

MORE LINUS OR DEATH, seriously give us more reviews like this or like the power supply for nerds, thought I barely understood the second half, it was simple enough that I had a vague idea of what's going on. so Thank you mr Linus and keep making your CONTENT.
Hi Linus, can you tell me what is the monitor that I can get for the Mac Mini that is similar to the iMac but (as you said) “so much less”????
Thanks
Soooo Linus, help me out here. How would you spec out a setup with a Mac mini without significantly compromising at the display and sound? I can’t find a decent 4K and soundbar while still ending up significantly below the iMacs price.
And there simply is no other way to get Touch ID to the Mac mini.
Yeah, you can have a MacOS setup for cheaper than the iMac. But let’s not pretend that it actually delivers the same in all aspects.
Now 0:00 to 0:07 will be by far the most viewed session of the video!
Don't expose me like that!
That was the best thing about this video
Why are you looking at this?
Creepy
@@joel3399 you didn't watch the entire video, did you?
Where would you like the charger cable? Blocking the action of the mouse? On top of the mouse maybe?
I don't think there'll never be a day where linus doesn't surprise me with his ad transitions 😂

No. I just want the CPU.
"Anthony noticed that he stopped noticing it" Sounds like something Anthony would do.
Desktop Touch ID really needs to be a thing now, it's so much more convenient
Microsoft has a wireless keyboard with a fingerprint reader on it now, it's pretty handy, glad the mac is getting it now.
@@BrumBrumBryn Its not the reader, its the "touch id"-eco system thats making it so usable and good ;-)
@@SunnyAustria it's pretty good, but I guess I mispoke. The reader on the Microsoft keyboard is compatible with Windows Hello so can be used with all the authentication attached to that process. I must admit, the little ecosystem apple has carved out is quite nice.
@@BrumBrumBryn I use both worlds for differenet usecases and both have goods and bads. Apple ruined my Audio Studio canceling 32bit Software on the OS. VST Synths and other things that costs about 12k Euros is now worthless.... I have Windows Hello on my Laptop for work and its very unstable but mybe its the Hardware. ( HP Elitebook 1030G3 )
Hey guy's, great video, as always!
By the way, the Ifixit dicount code, is not valid in the EU store...Can you help?
Gotta say, while I guess I agree that the equivalent M1 Mac Mini is a better deal for us more techie types. The whole new iMac package with color-matched iMac, KB, Mouse and the power adapter with Ethernet and the very nice “4.5k” screen is a hard package to beat. My mom would definitely want this and not mis-matched components. Heck, I even kind of want a yellow one. 😁 And I have no use for this in my daily work and play flow.
