I just bought the green iMac and I absolutely love it! Very easy on the eyes and a calm addition! My old Mac was 11 years old and could no longer be upgraded! Wow, I love it!

Some important facts that you omitted from your overview of the M1 iMac: (1: Some of the features you described are not available, out-of-the-box, on the base $1,299 iMac; they are either extra-cost options or as part of higher-tier packages. (Ethernet port, two more USB-C ports, TouchID keyboard). (2: You did not elaborate on the 4.5K display and its image quality; also, you did not clarify the news from Apple that a VESA-mounted iMac can be rotated and used effectively in "Portrait mode"if the customer wishes to do so. (3: I currently use an aging 21" Core i5 iMac, which the M1 iMac model replaces. There is a lack of comparison between older models in terms of real-world usage and what the newer models offer (or fail to offer). (NOTE: I am also a former MacBook Pro user).
I think to truly see and choose my color I'm gonna have to go to the store. I feel like these are all so make or break depending on actual in-person visual appearance. So far, I'm thinking Green > Blue > Purple (I don't even like this color really) > Red > Yellow > Orange > Silver (kinda boring).
This thing in beautiful. I got mine last week. When I first saw the pictures and videos I wasn't convinced. However when you see it in person, damn it's so sexy. The bezel even looks good too. Love the white bezel.
Is the Ethernet speed fast and reliable plugging it into the power supply over plugging it into the back of the computer directly? This is all new to me.
I won't yell at you for the stickers! It's one of my favorite touches of this iMac, the fact that they are 2 toned to match the 2 colors of the computer
I don’t know get why everybody is talking about how great the back of the computer looks? it’s going to go face against a wall no one‘s going to look at the back. Also that bottom stand looks very narrow and shakey. Would love to see a video on how easily that machine tips.
Every thumbnail on UA-cam is literally the back side of this machine, like why? I hate how back side color is a thing we are considering in “cool features“
I have the pink iMac I loved the deep red looks soooo good but I wish the front color was more of a light red bc I’m not staring at the back of the IMac I’m starting at the front of it and I just wish it didn’t look like rose gold I also have a problem where I can only use Touch ID on one account even though I have it setup on both accounts
Hating on the pink... oh my 😂. Well, to be fair the color IS pink. The red is the complement. I got the lovely yellow by the way! I'm in love with this thing 💛
The base model only has 2 usb-c ports, so this is the higher end model. Nothing has been announced yet about the pro model, but it will most likely be shown off soon!

Is there going to be a 27 inch version of the M1 iMac? I’m asking because right now there’s only a 24 inch model for the redes iMac with the M1 Chip And they never unveiled a larger computer with 27 inches or at least up to 32 inches
There are some rumors and it's very likely for a new bigger iMac to appear later this year. Apple gave all their baseline Macs the m1 chip and now they'll give the 'Pro' Macs (iMac 27", Macbook Pro 16", Mac Pro, and so on) an upgrade with a new version of their silicon, i guess.
So, looking at this thing in the flesh . . . I want to like it, and in most respects, it’s gorgeous. The way the light plays off the aluminum is way more beautiful than a computer has any business being. 😊 But I don’t get what they were thinking with the color on the chin. In the advertising pics, it’s supposed to be the same color as the stand. In real life, it’s totally not. It looks like it was supposed to match but didn’t. Bizarre. 🙄 Don’t get me wrong, it looks to be a wonderful machine (especially with the new M1 chip) in almost every functional way. And the design is ALMOST really cool, especially for those who have a soft spot for the original iMacs. (The first computer I ever bought was a “blueberry” one, and it was awesome.) So I want to like the colors. I’ll get over how it looks if the thing works half as well as advertised. But from a design standpoint, that chin color is just crazy . . . 🙄

No, how it looks from the back - the entire review shot with the computer seen from the back. Jobs said the original iMac looked better from the back, than the other guys from the front, Apple has now made it that the new iMac itself looks better from the back than the front :-)
So, this is technically a 24 inch laptop with a stand. You can't upgrade anything. Absolutely nothing you can do to upgrade it. Whatever Apple throws it, we have to accept it. Well done Apple.
It’s a shame that darker colour is not on the front. The front is just too light and without contrast. If I am am getting this machine, I have to get the boring gray one. And that’s only because of the duotone coloring. What a shame. A beautiful machine none the less.
The fact that it is so light weight is a big let down flaw as I can see this being accidently knocked onto the floor in most office environments or even in the home.
@@davidempire4874 Ok, asking for a give away is much different than being jealous about the fact he has the iMac….You were clearly taking an oppositional tone (likely caused by jealousy).
There's a problem when you start your vid, showing the back of a product. Sorry but no. White bessels, the chin, and no logo at the front. Product looks incomplete. It's a good start, but it would be better if Apple actually spent more time in the design, rather than what colors a half finished design can have.
Apple knows BACK is awesome + FRONT is ANEMIC (I did order yellow 🤷🏽♀️). That’s why UA-camrs + Apple’s own ads spend more on-screen time w/ iMac BACKWARD.
I can’t think of one good reason to get an iMac over a MacBook, your list didn’t help. Should have had the computer in the stand since it all fits on an ipad
I have a 16 inch MBP but I still bought one of the new iMacs because of the screen-and it didn’t disappoint me when it arrived and I got to see it in the flesh. As always YMMV.
@@whiteandnerdytuba You can-IF you want to deal with the hassle of running your laptop in clamshell mode. For me the whole design package rocks but I realize it doesn’t strike everyone the same way. I’m one of the rare people who love the pastel front colors, not to mention the ridiculous thinness of the iMac itself. To each his own.
I tried out one briefly at BestBuy. Paid no attention to the bezels. I was more interested in what was on the screen. I currently have a 27” 2010 iMac but the white bezels really don’t bother me
@@MarkHolmes I currently have the same color of this I Mac and the white bezels are not even an issue makes the computer look more beautiful in my opinion. I'd rather have slim white bezels than big thick black bezels that look outdated.
I wonder why some people like the white border and I know I like the black border. It is interesting why we are the way we are, why are we the way we are is because that’s the way we are. 🙂
My wife Sara-Jayne the Everton USA Chairwoman 2009 got me Into the iMac Boys and Germs...She has Buggered off to Sunderland or Durham and I am furious...She was shit-hot whenever the Mac's were concerned...I believe she Is In Sunderland or Durham...Fucking Nightmare...
@@cameronbosch1213 The white bezels are deal-killer me, on top of the 24in monitor. Having used 27in iMacs over 11 years, the thought of a monitor less than 27in..😤
Excessive capitalism. Sure, you have a beautiful computer and a powerful processor, but that “unique” power cord is what’s going to kill you in the long run. Previous iMacs actually worked with standard 3-prong power cords, but the new proprietary connector means that if you just happen to damage the power cord, expect to pay for exorbitant prices. The design is up to interpretation, I’d prefer a black bezel, but I’m sitting this one out. I’ll stick with my PC.
I love how he is saying the ether on the power cube is a plus.... As if they wont be charging 100 bucks for the cube when it stops working every 8 months. Apple cultists make me laugh. BTW I am here cuz my non-tech wife wants a pretty computer. Half the specs for the price of a WIN machine but hey its some silly color... right apple cult?
Funny. Most I’ve gotten out of a high end WIN machine is about 4 years. Meanwhile, my 2011 MacBook Pro updated with 16 gigs of ram is going strong. There’s something to be said for owning the integration of software and now all the hardware.
@@jeffholthus2009 That is funny considering I built my own in 2011 and it will bechmarks faster than the glorified tablet I just bought my wife for 2000 dollars. My sons second hand PC from 2011 is faster than 90% of apple products... let that sink in.
@@bp8143 well, first we weren’t talking about custom builds. But I have ~40 years with PCs of decent specs for work and 20 with them for personal and only last 15 or so with Apple. But I’ve never gotten a blue screen of death with Apple. Never had a port or power supply die with Apple. All true with PCs. Had a crappy keyboard redesign on a MB Pro once though. And as we know “specs” on paper don’t mean squat. Why can the M1 get away so well with 16gb of RAM? Apple specs always seem low by comparison. But the several frugal family members I have running 8-10 year old Macs with zero issues speaks for itself. The MB I got for my daughter which took her through college AND grad school speaks for itself. We are on a 2 year refresh cycle for decently spec’d Dells at work (federal contract). And that just got changed to HP due to so many issues with Dells. I just don’t know anyone that has paid the Apple premium and gone to Macs that regrets that decision or has ever gone back. But yeah, some PCs have more spec for the $. And if they live as long with updates, keep running the software you need, great.
@@jeffholthus2009 Dell... key word. Its like comparing a pizza from Pizza hut and a pizza from a gas station that is a week old. Ya the Pizza hut is better... but its still not good pizza. There are many premade companies that hold up as long as Apple. Plus the reason they "last longer" is because they are locked down so you the user cannot mess it up like they can with a WIN machine. That is not a benefit though when you think about the world today. I still have my T20... it runs. That does not prove anything one way or the other though. The point is apple users are low level and fuck shit up all the time if they are handed a tiny bit of freedom. Its why the 16gb "works" with the M1... .0001% of mac users need over 16gb so its never a real issue. I would also like to point out that orange tablet that is being called a computer has been used 3 times since I bought it. Its a total waste of money. 700 bucks for orange over the other model and its already subpar to its competition.
It's the little things... That's what I've always loved about Apple.The whole thing is an experience from the moment you receive the box.

I already have the silver version but I’m willing to give it a shot. 😅
I'm interested in resolution and the % of the Adobe color space the monitor will display.
I’d totally buy the green iMac. However I think I’l go the route of Mac mini set up with my iPad.
i love that you picked green!
this is the best desktop computer i ever bought, i just wished they had black or white or just stuck with solid colors all around…
Did I miss something? AFIK you didn’t mention the absolutely gorgeous 4.5 K screen itself.
who cares about the display when you get colour matched stickers!! you need to reconsider your priorities!!
Most normals will only have the one cable going to the iMac unless the have the USB-C to lighting cable plugged in to recharge something.
Maybe a Time Machine backup drive?
Is the Ethernet speed fast and reliable plugging it into the power supply over plugging it into the back of the computer directly? This is all new to me.
I love how insanely capable this machine is compared to the previous 21.5” iMacs they used to sell.
So will we have a entry level 27"/30" iMac or is this just it? I'm curious....
I pray not, I'm hoping for something awesome, big and badass from Cupertino on June 7th, otherwise, it will be the M1 16gb Mac Mini.
Leaks claim a 32 inch!
I agree about the colour, my favourite colour is red but I could not put up with the pink colour on the front so I ordered the blue.
I'm impressed!
Just ordered mine in this color. 🍀
When asking Siri to set a timer does Siri instead set a reminder?
When you connect Ethernet cable, why no green or orange light is here? It is very useful to understand if it is connected.
This from the same guy who made a video and said he’s gonna skip the 24-inch iMac lol
Nice intro vid btw
If you get the middle or upper one do you have to use the touch ID or can you deactivate it and just use a password instead?
