Agreed. He presents a great case too. This would be fine for 90% of what I do on a daily basis, although I'd have to sacrifice some Windows only programs I use probably.

I really like it as well even though apple created the culture of unrepairable e garbage. And the value proposition is bloody amazing too. Its a really fast computer with a really good display for sub 1000 dollars. I can assure you 100% there is not comparable selection in PC world. i still passionately hate apple though
When I see it sitting pretty by itself and all, it does make me want to like it. But then I see real situations like the adapter at 7:07 and all the glaring practical flaws of all usb-c consume me. If my family had this computer, every time they wanted to plug something in they'd be searching for an adapter. New printer? Find an adapter. Sibling gets a flash drive from school? Adapter. Transfer pictures off the camera? Adapter. And once the adapter's plugged in, it's more than double the thickness it was. Practical thought kicks in and tells me to just get a mac mini and a nice monitor for a lower price. But I guess that's pretty PC-guy thinking, and I can certainly see why people might like it anyway.
@@octorokpie Except most hard drives sold these days come with a usb micro b data to usbc cable, most printers are wireless, most cameras are wireless, and flash drives that have both usb and usbc ends are cheap. Its slightly inconvenient for someone with existing stuff, but far more convenient for someone buying all new stuff.
It was a really sensible decision, to move Apple coverage away from Linus and over here. While Apple deserves to be criticized for their backwards practices and marketing, it needs to be covered by one who, at the very least, understands its priorities, and why people ultimately gravitate towards their products. Jonathan does just that. And it's also, by far, the best crafted videos coming out of LTT. Thumbs up man. Great work all 'round.
Convince him not really. I'm sure some of his staff like macos more and are more efficient using Big sur vs windows.... also it's a tax write off since it's a business expense.
I like this LMG channel, so classy, so elegant, so relaxing, clean and bright looking, less anger and rush, less clutter, less gamery look but very very informative. I like that there’s no shouting or speedy puns here. Love it!
I'm so happy that companies are finally figuring out how to bring back fun designs with a modern, clean feel, but also without the tackiness the old designs usually contain.
The orange M1 iMac is amazing. The base, mouse, and keyboard all look like a new shiny penny. The front chin looks like a beach house, and the back of it looks like neon metallic orange or the really vivid orange of maple leaves in the fall. I love it. I seen it on display in the Apple store. Purple is probably my second color.
Not all Mac people like what Apple does with new Macs. See the years since 2016. But not all PC people like new PCs, but sometimes they do. See how that works?
These videos are filmed so well, great color composition. Not 100% sold on another iMac over the Mac Mini, since I have the older 21.5" right now and am not sure how I feel about all-in-ones anymore, but I saw them in the store (when picking up my iMac after they were replacing the logic board) and they are pretty awesome in person.
These videos are so beautifully produced, the content is grabbing and super on point, and combined with the editing, b-roll and everything else makes this feel like some of the highest production quality (Apple) reviews out there. A lot of the editing feels like Apple made it. Seriously impressive!
Hoffman crushed it on the editing. Wow. The whole video is quite excellent. Distinctive style from LTT and MKHB and Snazzy Labs. Right amount of editorializing and philosophizing
they would make these Apple Silicon devices so future proof if they could just add eGPU support to them, I wish AT LEAST they make their own eGPUs with Apple Silicon GPU cores, that would be great for people who want some extra performances on 3D stuff since the m1 Chips have an amazing single core performance
future proof until the ssd runs out useable flash memory which means the ones that gets heavily used - especially for media processing or consumption could have as short a life span as 5 years
This was probably the smartest thing they could have done to replace the 21” model. My family owns a 2012 21” iMac, they are the market for this. With everything I’ve noticed since the 2018 iPad Pro it was the best blend of both worlds to get the smaller model into homes for those who simply just need an easy home desktop.
Woah, the production on this video is at another level! LMG stepped it up for mac address, which, of all their channels, is the one to do that with. great honest review too.
I love this computer.... I just bought this exact color (16 Gb / 512 SSD) for my wife's school in S. Korea. The M1 SoC with integrated memory is blazing fast. The screen resolution is fantastic. The aesthetics are awesome. My wife, students and parents are all impressed by this iMac. I'm still running a 2011 27" iMac in which the old HDD has been upgraded to a SATA SSD. Everything works flawlessly. Thanks for the great review Mac Address.
I absolutely love this channel, even tho this product for example is just bad in my eyes the video was charming and absolutely enjoyable. Thank you soo much for taking Jonathan into the UA-cam space.
I think another point that might've gone unsaid, but is definitely related to the whole benefits of a laptop vs all-in-one desktop conversation is that there are a lot of people who don't benefit from the portability of a laptop, or don't WANT to benefit from it. In addition to the other great things mentioned about the iMac (screen, camera, speakers), a reality that I think has been lost on a lot of people is that some just aren't interested in the idea of being connected everywhere they go. Having a device that is intended to stay in one area is precisely the point for some people, because it means that they can leave whatever work they had at the desk, and move on to other things when they leave that area. The portability of laptops provides freedom, sure, but it also creates the added constraint of never truly leaving your work if it follows you everywhere you go.
I can’t even believe this channel is part of LMG. Every time I watch ShortCircuit or their tech news im bombarded with their loudness, which really makes me want to stop watching them. This guy tho, he’s so calm, presents everything with nice, chill music and it’s a pleasure overall to watch.
Although my late, maternal grandmother was afraid of computers, she loved yellow, all her kitchen appliances and rotary phone were yellow! I prefer orange!
I'm really loving this channel, and Jonathan really gets what makes Apple products so beloved by their owners. Personally, I don't care very much one way or the other about the chin or the white bezels.
Thank you for this video. Tired and sick of people calling these macs ugly because they are colorful. Like you said computers are mostly all dull these days. I believe people are just shocked to see a colorful computer and don’t know how to compute lol. I think it looks great
I second this! Gray and Silver had become the beige of this generation. I'm VERY happy to see Apple go back to offering colors again! Life is too short to have just black and silver.
I'm a Windows guy and I'm definitely not the Target Market for the iMac, but damn Jonathan makes me look at it from another perspective which is pretty much what I like about this channel tbh

10 days ago I bought Mac Mini M1 512GB storage and 16GB Memory and for the first time in my life entered on macOS and I do not have any problem with anything and there is no game to stress it out I’m happy with mini M1
Based on how Mac Address's been going, my thought is that chances are pretty low. Macs are quite popular yet this channel hasn't taken off (to this day).
@@Leos74 that's cause most of his viewers are ltt viewers and generally not hard core mac audiences Linus should advertise this channel on UA-cam for it to pickup.. else it'll always be in ltt shadow
@@NateDawg0007 Wrong. They'll have different chip tiers (M1 vs M1X). If they where revealed at the same time then there would be no higher tier models reveals (including MacBooks). First the consumer level computers, then the pro level computers. It's so easy why nobody gets it? xd
@@NateDawg0007 It could be that the M1 isn't powerful enough to run two 6k displays at the same time. Or they have something big planned for the iMac 30".
@@joanboronat7403 you're thinking of something like an IMac Pro. You don't need a computer capable of heavy video editing to want a larger screen size. Just a plain old IMac with a 27" display would have been nice.
wow, that's a badass case. but like, Lian Li probably sold a few thousand of those, Apple's probably gonna sell millions of these. Dell, HP, etc, those are the brands that set what PCs look like to most people.
True your right I wasn't thinking I think I just get frustrated when apple gets praise for things that other people already did. I mean they have pioneered a lot of things they don't need praise for everything lol but again I'm probably just salty
@@thejohnathan491 Apple keeps in mind that whatever they make, they have to make a ton of. They're successful not at doing things the absolute first, but at doing them the best and at scale. "Real artists ship" has been one of their mantras since the original Macintosh days. They don't care about showing off things they can do in a lab, they care about selling you things you can do in your home. So, sure, other companies will ship unapologetic early betas that can't support real workloads, Apple will take a little longer to do it better and for everyone.
@@modulusshift not disagreeing you are right but I will say apple is better at branding than anything I work as apple support trust me there are so many issues they have when they launch products that never come out. Again though I may just be salty I get frustrated with apple because they could be an actual innovator that does so much good but that just doesn't seem to be the apple they are anymore
@@thejohnathan491 heh, and I worked for a while at a third party repair shop that focused on Apple products, trust me I know there's been some stinkers. I can't say anybody else is doing better though. Apple will sort itself out in the long term, probably, or hey, maybe it won't. It's made up of people after all. They have dreams, they get tired, they can be experts and visionaries, or they can get dragged down in the drudgery and lose sight of what's good. What will be, will be.
Its such a joke. For every pc you can choose literally thousands of cases alone. A custom handbuild watercooled pc is personal, but not coosing a prebuild color literally thohsands if others have the exact same copy of.
This colour definitely grow on Me, after watching this video. I had my eyes set on Orange at first but now the yellow is going pretty good. This video is weirdly relaxing to watch. i really enjoy it. i love the background music you are using. it's very fitting. good job.
When I saw this iMac being revealed it brought the same feeling I got when I saw the G5 unveiled, I think it’s stunning, as for the colour, it’s that weird thing where any colour would leave me happy, there’s not one that is like ummm no, even the yellow you showed here or the orange which when mentioned to people that haven’t seen it go ummm no, are actually gorgeous.
Not to mention that the space that the computer takes up is really that of the stand on the desk, which wouldn't change size with a 10mm thicker computer.
@@Col_Crunch Ehhh, the stand is so thin and flat, I wouldn't worry about that size. I mean, I also don't think I'd worry about an extra few mm off thickness either, these things are ridiculously thin as-is, but it does give some charm and the user gets to see what color their computer is. It's one of the complaints of smartphone design, you'll only be able to appreciate the color when not using it and Apple changed it up here.
@@johnbuscher "Ehhh, the stand is so thin and flat, I wouldn't worry about that size." Thats exactly my point. Making the computer thicker and batting rid of the chin would not waste any space, cause the stand (the thing that actually takes up space) would not change in size. I also don't agree that about the user being able to see the color. The stand is color matched, so you would still get that... and you wouldn't have an ugly (imo... I really hate pastels) pastel version of the color staring at you all the time.
3:10 I feel like what he fails to mention is that thickness of a computer does not affect the "wasting" of space on a desk. The main thing that affects how much space a computer/monitor takes on a desk (in my experience), is a stand, as one which takes a larger space will result in less desk space. However, the thickness of the display does not matter as it is above the desk, meaning you can still fit your phone, paperwork etc. under the display, even if it would be 3 cm thicker (if the imac got rid of the chin it would still not amount to 3cm of thickness...).
I would love a comparison between the new iMac vs the new Mac mini (w/ chosen monitor and peripherals), and see if the price difference justifies purchasing the iMac.
Given the costs of the apple keyboard and mouse and especially a 4K-monitor that good, I would say it’s a good deal. And you do not have to buy speakers or a webcam
If you already have a monitor and peripherals you're happy with (many people do), Mac mini is great. If you don't (or want all-in-one simplicity), iMac is great. My main issue with iMac is when it comes time to upgrade you're getting rid of a perfectly good monitor. I know at work it stings when I send a 5K iMac off for surplus, those monitors are still beautiful.
I totally agree, it is not saving any space per se because essentially the space are already taken up when you need to have a stand. Which is why I think increasing the thickness and just getting rid of the huge chin is logical.
I doubt it, they already did a short circuit on it.
3 роки тому+1
Some phrases from the ShortCircuit video on it made it seem like they would, I remember Linus saying he would not test the speakers in that video to wait for the full review by Anthony.
"While avoiding making the whole computer thicker, wasting space". WHAT SPACE?! the depth of the stand is 15cm or so, the computer can be as thick as that and still have the same footprint.
@@creattivedesigns it’s not a problem, it’s just a choice. Keep the iconic imac design while saving space and making the computer disappear, the original goal of Apple for the imac since the very first one
@@rdvgrd6 the point made was: the computer does not disappear more with this choice. It disappears less, in favor of the "iconic imac design". It is okay to say they made the choice because they wanted the chin. It is nonsense to say it was because any space was saved, needed to be saved or a 10mm thick screen would be better than a 15mm thick screen on a 150mm thick stand
@@creattivedesigns if you think otherwise I would recommend you to work as an industrial designer and take your complains into practice. because clearly people had the same remarks about the last iMac redesign (keeping the chin and making to thinner) seems to get over it and love the current design. the thing is, professional designer make bold choices that become the new norm. nobody likes change until they get use to it
2:03 You're forgetting about us Dark Mode users. Big Sur is all dark for me most of the time. I have my computer use light mode during the day and auto switch to dark mode at night, with the wallpapers that gradually change throughout the day. I love it! Black bezels give the illusion of the display being a floating image inside one giant sheet of glass, which looks beautiful. Whereas white bezels constrain the content and make it obvious that it's just a display, which is not where display evolution should be heading. The ultimate iMac would be a bezel-less display.....and black bezels is the closest we can get to that for now on a consumer product. But like you said this is meant to be the "Friendlier iMac" for entry level. I'm sure the iMac Pro is going to have darker more mature colors and black bezels. With maybe Pacific Blue, Space Gray, and Silver options which would be awesome. One thing that would be sort of cool would be if the bezels were separate pieces of glass and they were magnetic and you could swap them out for different colors. There are DIY laptops that have this feature and it's pretty amazing. Otherwise if the bezels themselves could somehow change colors from white to black that would be awesome. Maybe the top layer of the bezel is an OLED panel or some sort of LED?. Then again D-brand is obviously going to make black bezel stickers to cover the bezel for those who want black. If I wasn't waiting for the iMac Pro and had to buy this new iMac... I'd get the silver version and just change the bezels to black.

Based on how Mac Address's been going, my thought is that chances are pretty low. Macs are quite popular yet this channel hasn't taken off (to this day).
@@Leos74 that's cause most of his viewers are ltt viewers and generally not hard core mac audiences
Linus should advertise this channel on UA-cam for it to pickup.. else it'll always be in ltt shadow
Man I’m so glad you picked the yellow one, it looks so damn good.
so does urine
@@adamlee007 why does piss gotta be the first relation to yellow 💀
„I love it“
Also him: „Its bad!“
They really need a 27" model. 23" is just tiny for modern screens
This one is replacing the old 21", there will be a 30" one replacing the 27" soon.
@@FernandoAES I can't imagine it being very different. They should have just revealed it at the same time
@@NateDawg0007 Wrong. They'll have different chip tiers (M1 vs M1X). If they where revealed at the same time then there would be no higher tier models reveals (including MacBooks). First the consumer level computers, then the pro level computers. It's so easy why nobody gets it? xd
@@NateDawg0007 It could be that the M1 isn't powerful enough to run two 6k displays at the same time.
Or they have something big planned for the iMac 30".
@@joanboronat7403 you're thinking of something like an IMac Pro. You don't need a computer capable of heavy video editing to want a larger screen size. Just a plain old IMac with a 27" display would have been nice.
"different than anything you find on PC's these days" 🤨 me looking at my yellow 011 dynamic
wow, that's a badass case. but like, Lian Li probably sold a few thousand of those, Apple's probably gonna sell millions of these. Dell, HP, etc, those are the brands that set what PCs look like to most people.
True your right I wasn't thinking I think I just get frustrated when apple gets praise for things that other people already did. I mean they have pioneered a lot of things they don't need praise for everything lol but again I'm probably just salty
@@thejohnathan491 Apple keeps in mind that whatever they make, they have to make a ton of. They're successful not at doing things the absolute first, but at doing them the best and at scale. "Real artists ship" has been one of their mantras since the original Macintosh days. They don't care about showing off things they can do in a lab, they care about selling you things you can do in your home. So, sure, other companies will ship unapologetic early betas that can't support real workloads, Apple will take a little longer to do it better and for everyone.
@@modulusshift not disagreeing you are right but I will say apple is better at branding than anything I work as apple support trust me there are so many issues they have when they launch products that never come out. Again though I may just be salty I get frustrated with apple because they could be an actual innovator that does so much good but that just doesn't seem to be the apple they are anymore
@@thejohnathan491 heh, and I worked for a while at a third party repair shop that focused on Apple products, trust me I know there's been some stinkers. I can't say anybody else is doing better though. Apple will sort itself out in the long term, probably, or hey, maybe it won't. It's made up of people after all. They have dreams, they get tired, they can be experts and visionaries, or they can get dragged down in the drudgery and lose sight of what's good. What will be, will be.
I have a Notebook for myself, and we have the iMac as a family computer.
Expressing one's personality in 7 different colors, jeezee
Its such a joke. For every pc you can choose literally thousands of cases alone. A custom handbuild watercooled pc is personal, but not coosing a prebuild color literally thohsands if others have the exact same copy of.
4:41 yes captions, its an IMAX you're right
lol, why did this happen?
Because they use auto captions but disguise it as user made
This channel is so satisfying for Apple nerds like me lol thanks guys!
Ive never seen a computer color match the person and scenery so well in my life
Jonathan is actually a really good presenter, gj man
This colour definitely grow on Me, after watching this video. I had my eyes set on Orange at first but now the yellow is going pretty good. This video is weirdly relaxing to watch. i really enjoy it. i love the background music you are using. it's very fitting. good job.
When I saw this iMac being revealed it brought the same feeling I got when I saw the G5 unveiled, I think it’s stunning, as for the colour, it’s that weird thing where any colour would leave me happy, there’s not one that is like ummm no, even the yellow you showed here or the orange which when mentioned to people that haven’t seen it go ummm no, are actually gorgeous.
I love this. Also I rarely see people buy the yellow. It's so beautiful
sony needs to make a come back too, they used to make the most exciting beautiful looking consumer electronics - discman, MD player, VAIOS laptop.
“Not making it thicker, wasting space” how would you “waste space” by making it 10mm thicker and getting rid of the bottom chin?
Yea I'd take a few more millimeters in exchange for losing the chin
Not to mention that the space that the computer takes up is really that of the stand on the desk, which wouldn't change size with a 10mm thicker computer.
Why would you want an iMac to just look like a monitor? The bottom bezel is what makes it look like an iMac
@@Col_Crunch Ehhh, the stand is so thin and flat, I wouldn't worry about that size. I mean, I also don't think I'd worry about an extra few mm off thickness either, these things are ridiculously thin as-is, but it does give some charm and the user gets to see what color their computer is. It's one of the complaints of smartphone design, you'll only be able to appreciate the color when not using it and Apple changed it up here.
@@johnbuscher "Ehhh, the stand is so thin and flat, I wouldn't worry about that size."
Thats exactly my point. Making the computer thicker and batting rid of the chin would not waste any space, cause the stand (the thing that actually takes up space) would not change in size.
I also don't agree that about the user being able to see the color. The stand is color matched, so you would still get that... and you wouldn't have an ugly (imo... I really hate pastels) pastel version of the color staring at you all the time.
3:10 I feel like what he fails to mention is that thickness of a computer does not affect the "wasting" of space on a desk. The main thing that affects how much space a computer/monitor takes on a desk (in my experience), is a stand, as one which takes a larger space will result in less desk space. However, the thickness of the display does not matter as it is above the desk, meaning you can still fit your phone, paperwork etc. under the display, even if it would be 3 cm thicker (if the imac got rid of the chin it would still not amount to 3cm of thickness...).
I recently bought an M1 MacBook Pro.
No regrets.
None at all.
I'm more Jonathan than Linus or Anthony now.
Ah the color correction and props matching the yellow iMac were absolutely on point! Such a soothing video to watch
So 80% of the review is about how the thing looks.
Good to know some things never change lmao.
Because we all know the power of the M1.
I would love a comparison between the new iMac vs the new Mac mini (w/ chosen monitor and peripherals), and see if the price difference justifies purchasing the iMac.
Given the costs of the apple keyboard and mouse and especially a 4K-monitor that good, I would say it’s a good deal. And you do not have to buy speakers or a
webcam
@@hagaman2 Indeed. iMacs have always been a pretty good value for the display alone, especially since the Retina designs.
Cost wise I rather spec out the mac mini (only like $1029) and use the monitors I have but if cost wasn't a factor then the imac lol
If you already have a monitor and peripherals you're happy with (many people do), Mac mini is great. If you don't (or want all-in-one simplicity), iMac is great. My main issue with iMac is when it comes time to upgrade you're getting rid of a perfectly good monitor. I know at work it stings when I send a 5K iMac off for surplus, those monitors are still beautiful.
I’m a desktop person but I use laptop because I don’t have money for it but anytime I try a desktop at my friends house I love it
Only channel that has helped me through two day long panic attacks.
These videos are so incredibly well produced, and love the host. Awesome work!
I do love the imac, but I don't understand getting it over a mac mini with a 28" 4k monitor, 24" is just absolutely tiny for any multitasking.
and that's why you can do exactly just that. buying a mac mini and a 28" 4k monitor. it's called having options
What if you don't have the space for a 28" monitor but you do for a 24"? That's also the entire computer? That's why we have options.
Because imac is an all in one. Just plug the power and off you go
All the way back to the first Mac, the default if an all in one. However tiny the screen. Ease of use has always mattered.
i expected linus to do these videos, this is now a very normal apple channel from a apple fan
This channel finally made me understand why people like macs. I would not buy them but I understand now.
3:06 woah woah woah. What space is “saved” by the iMac being thinner?
Well by not making it bulkier than it needs to be. That way you keep the chin and make it still look like an iconic mac instead of just a monitor
Space in the users head
Does the slimness save any space tho? With the stand, it all becomes redundant. However, I agree it looks nice!
I totally agree, it is not saving any space per se because essentially the space are already taken up when you need to have a stand.
Which is why I think increasing the thickness and just getting rid of the huge chin is logical.
I love how this is a tribute to the original iMac.
Oh I LOVE the white bezels. They make the imac stand out from any other generic display.
Will there also be an LTT review?
I doubt it, they already did a short circuit on it.
Some phrases from the ShortCircuit video on it made it seem like they would, I remember Linus saying he would not test the speakers in that video to wait for the full review by Anthony.
"While avoiding making the whole computer thicker, wasting space". WHAT SPACE?! the depth of the stand is 15cm or so, the computer can be as thick as that and still have the same footprint.
He meant internal space not being wasted, like the current M1 mac mini
@@rdvgrd6 and that is a problem because...?
@@creattivedesigns it’s not a problem, it’s just a choice. Keep the iconic imac design while saving space and making the computer disappear, the original goal of Apple for the imac since the very first one
@@rdvgrd6 the point made was: the computer does not disappear more with this choice. It disappears less, in favor of the "iconic imac design". It is okay to say they made the choice because they wanted the chin. It is nonsense to say it was because any space was saved, needed to be saved or a 10mm thick screen would be better than a 15mm thick screen on a 150mm thick stand
@@creattivedesigns if you think otherwise I would recommend you to work as an industrial designer and take your complains into practice. because clearly people had the same remarks about the last iMac redesign (keeping the chin and making to thinner) seems to get over it and love the current design. the thing is, professional designer make bold choices that become the new norm. nobody likes change until they get use to it
Before watching this, I wanted Blue.
After watching this, I want Yellow.
it's weird to find an apple channel with videos i actually enjoy, thanks!!
2:03 You're forgetting about us Dark Mode users. Big Sur is all dark for me most of the time. I have my computer use light mode during the day and auto switch to dark mode at night, with the wallpapers that gradually change throughout the day. I love it! Black bezels give the illusion of the display being a floating image inside one giant sheet of glass, which looks beautiful. Whereas white bezels constrain the content and make it obvious that it's just a display, which is not where display evolution should be heading.
The ultimate iMac would be a bezel-less display.....and black bezels is the closest we can get to that for now on a consumer product. But like you said this is meant to be the "Friendlier iMac" for entry level. I'm sure the iMac Pro is going to have darker more mature colors and black bezels. With maybe Pacific Blue, Space Gray, and Silver options which would be awesome.
One thing that would be sort of cool would be if the bezels were separate pieces of glass and they were magnetic and you could swap them out for different colors. There are DIY laptops that have this feature and it's pretty amazing. Otherwise if the bezels themselves could somehow change colors from white to black that would be awesome. Maybe the top layer of the bezel is an OLED panel or some sort of LED?.
Then again D-brand is obviously going to make black bezel stickers to cover the bezel for those who want black. If I wasn't waiting for the iMac Pro and had to buy this new iMac... I'd get the silver version and just change the bezels to black.
