11:28 Is the iMac M3 Worth It? - Наука та технологія
Buying a $2000 basic system just because it's yellow is probably one of the stupidest things you can do. But when money isn't an issue, then why not?
I promise you I could give you much dumber ways to spend $2000.
For 2k I can buy a lot of stupid shit
Calling an M3 powered machine basic is absurd. This machine will outperform countless PC's at the same price point. The limiting factor however is the idiotic wee bit of RAM. If you could upgrade it on your own (which is how it should always be), you could install 128GB of it and this machine would blow the doors off almost anything and it would last you at least 10 years with its Grade A components.
@@theINQBSNah, even a similarly priced gaming laptop would punch this imac in it's nuts, both cpu and GPU. And a PC tower would basically make this feel a generation old. Imac isn't bad, it's just not good for the price
you can be stupid if you can aford it
got it 😆
He basically bought an expensive lemon battery. Glados would be jealous.
"I'm a potato" 💀
Am I missing the joke? iMacs don't have batteries.
@@VinnytotheK It's a portal reference
@@dizzyishere999In what way though? GLaDOS is in a potato battery computer, which I guess she might be jealous of a lemon battery, but in what way is this iMac similar to a lemon battery. I just don't get that connection. lol
@VinnytotheK I think he's referring mostly to the color of the imac, but it also still uses power regardless of not having a battery. Glados is in a potato battery. Lemons are more coductive than potatoes, therefore Glados would be jealous of it.
Austin Evans and Luke Miani Collab is Wild 😂
Probably cause Luke Miani moved to LA.
Apple worshipper collabed with austin
@@HypeXeskwho called who>
@@HypeXeska worshipper that criticizes worshipped thing? You should check the definition of worshiping my dude.
"Something that is small has never hurt anybody"
I fully expected Ken to turn up and hit the "Nut" button after Austin said that.. :D
That's what she said.
We all know the reason this video was made is so the iMac could be tax deductible xD
You don't need to make a video to have a computer be tax deductible. You just have to use it for business purposes.
@@The__Creeper as his business is making videos on computers, i'd say he did just fine.
Censoring the couch.... My mind went elsewhere 🤷🏼♂️

Austin's Casting Couch 😅
Austin has a little secret 🤫
I really wish Apple would color match the bezel with the case. The white just kills the look IMO. I agree with Luke they should offer a 27" or 32" would be amazing! Finally, I fully stand with both that an iMac should be offered with a Pro or Max chipset.
Wait, I thought the base model WAS a 27"? Is it not any more? Oh wow I just looked at their website and nope, they've shrunk it down to 24" instead. Well that sucks! I can't go any smaller than a 27" display now, since I've used them ever since my last iMac I bought (when it was still Intel powered).
agreed a 32" 9K screen to edit 8K films.
Never thought I’d have a better setup than a UA-camr
Luke Miani casually shaking air still 🎉
I love that you had Luke come over. I’ve been watching his stuff for years.
The dumbest apple product are their kb and mice. I have been buying Macs since 1993, and I have always used kb & mice from other companies, and for even more reasons since the arrival of mighty mouse in mid 2000s.
The Apple mouse and keyboard is the only way to get smooth scrolling and Touch ID though
I like the Apple mouse. It works well. People always complain about having to charge it on the bottom, but it literally only takes five minutes to charge for eight hours of use. It’s not at all a big deal, it’s just something obvious that is easy to make fun of. Like no one ever takes a five to ten minute break during a days workload.
@tarantinoish Love how you conveniently forget the terrible ergonomics that are the actual main criticism.
@@IceBlueLugia That doesn’t bother me. I actually like the ergonomics.
@@tarantinoish so it's "this dont bother me and I have a somewhat acceptable answer for everyone so it matter for everyone" for the battery but "this dont bother me but I dont there isnt a good reasoning behind (or at all) except a personal opinion so it dont matter at all"? bru, you should be a politician.
As someone having a 32 and a 27 inch monitor on his desk, that single 24 inch display would be a tiny bit small for me. On the other hand, most of the time I'm actually on my 13 inch laptop, so I see the possibility of using such a compact setup.
Bro got the SpongeBob setup
The iMac is targeted at the casual user who does not need to portability of the Macbook line if you need more power that what the Mac Studio was made for as they no most creators will want to use there own displays.
Yooooo seing Luke in a Austin’s video is so coool
Oh man, 2 legends!! I'd love to see you get together more. As for the mac, the yellow is fuggly, but you do you. iMacs are great though. Yeah, a little pricey, but they work when ya need them to for 10-12 years flawlessly.
nice seeing that u still have the keyboard that switch and click gave you
maaaan I wish I was there to help put that setup together, lots of room for some aesthetic touches 👀
oh my god i love lukemiani! this collab was so unexpected. 😭😍❤
Great review 👌👌
Great video with two great youtubers!
This is wild, I've been watching Luke since he had 7k subs and here he is with one of my OG tech UA-camrs
I hate that Apple has ignored the iMac
The iMac Pro back in the day was awesome
I so want to see an Apple Silicon imac Pro. They should do a 30" 5.5k with ProMotion and M3 Max chip and use the Space black color. That would be epic.
You spent so much time, babbling about your room and avoiding talking about the actual product that I just gave up
I have an M1 iMac with 16 GB of ram I got for school but now it sits on the side of my desk used for research, web browsing, and typing up docs while my PC handles my studio like tasks. I think apple made it clear that the iMac was rebranded for causal user. The VESA mount is a must though. Get an arm and it's amazing.
Love the Luke Miani collab omfg
Also, for how successful you guys must be with both this and the This Is channel, at least your office looks surprisingly humble, when compared to other TechTubers out there...
Austin having Vince staples “Ramona park broke my heart” cued up 👏🏾
That guy must be Austin's hero because he is stiff as a board around him.
To be fair, who doesn't get stiff when Austin uploads a new video?
0:49 hey, how’s that Focusrite treating you? I’ve been looking into getting an audio interface for my PC so I can better control the Amp Sims I have and fine tune my guitar playing.
Wow I like this setup. Hoping to get one of these one day
I agree with the point that the iMac is a very niche product. I recently switched out my Windows PC for an M2 Mac mini with 24 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage. The flexibility of being able to switch out screens and peripherals was a big thing for me. The iMac doesn't have as much flexibility as I would've liked.
Nice video,behind the sence.but i have one question. What type of anker do you have?
I Love Austin Evans Videos ❤
11:31 just saw you’re wear an Alpha Tauri shirt. If you watch F1, what do you think of the Visa Cashapp RB?
You should’ve gotten the new studio. It is so good. I’m literally surprised with how good it handles editing
11:27 why did Luke keep shaking after releasing Austin's hand lmao
Dude Austin always wearing the best shirts for real. First cactus, then ducks in the sponsor.
7:34 Swapping the CMD and OPT keys on a custom keyboard is wild
It feels like the iMac and MacBooks were the go to for years. I saw so many iMacs everywhere in professional settings with the Mac mini being an after thought for most people.
Now the Mac mini is more of a go to than the iMac with the laptops always being the main product. It’s an odd switch since it seemed like one of the best values they had and what so many people were buying in professional creative space.
12:45 I like the yellow actually! I wish they had a MacBook (any version) in that color!
Where can I download that HD Bliss wallpaper Austin uses on his MacBook?
I'm not quite sure if I would know where it is, but it's the same one Michael MJD uses.
Not the vesa mount 😂 from the dark ages of that snazy lab video 😂
Hello, Mr. Evans! Can you review a windows vista laptop, please? (Example HP Pavilion TX1000.)
how funny i was just asking myself today what happened tp the imacs, i didnt knew they were still made
If you know Austin, you know questionable product purchases are just a regular Wednesday for him 🤣
Cool yellow iMac Austin 👌🏻✌🏻
Wajow luke miani is in thuis video?! I love huis video's so much! ❤❤❤
I´m freaking happy with my imac M1 - its so clean and it´ll do all i wanna do
Haha lemon stand!!
It's a real shame what they did with the iMac. It's a great machine, but that 23.5 inch (yes, it's not even 24 inches!) is just too small or many previous Intel iMac users, and the lack of the Pro chip holds it back for greater productivity. Most of my clients used 27" iMacs, now they're having to compromise with a laptop, 27-30 inch monitor, and lost of cables, when they just want a simple all-in-one.
I’m glad your happy with your setup, imo I wouldn’t of gone with this but it’s your space and non of my business lol
really bold choice for austin to use the playdate as his main PC
Hee Austin, Where did u buy the Monaco F1 layout :).
love how brutally honest he is haha
Please do a tech review of stuff like Milwaukee, DeWalt, and other job site and mechanic stuff they have lots of earbuds,Bluetooth speakers,cables, and stuff like that and I think I’d make a great video
And don't forget about Klein tools for the electrician and lineman viewers of this channel, they also make various job site oriented electronic gadgets like little thermal imaging cameras that you can use to find hotspots in a breaker box etc Bluetooth earbuds even Milwaukee and Klein also have various accessories like Bluetooth hearing protectors.
... And it was all yellow🎶😂
THE OFFICE ITSELF
Dude has a hoverboard!
Why not paint the current VESA post to the same yellow color as the Mac? I bet if you grab a color accurate picture of the Mac you could get a few spray paint bottles of that color
I made a similarly silly decision recently. I already had a M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and decided I wanted an M1 MacBook Air. I wanted the M1 because I like the form factor better than the M2 and M3 variants. I bought it refurb directly from Apple for $850. Since I got it, I haven't touched my Mac Mini, choosing my air over it for work use, and I've barely touched my MBP, just using it when I'm working in my office, which isn't often. Sure, it's silly, but I do love this MBA.
Look's great the keys match the bezel.
Everything that doesn’t sponsor Austin doesn’t get good air time…Lenovo all in one?! Mwah, perfection!
I love that yellow keyboard!
Should got an Apple studio display and a Mac Studio, the screen and integration for creative work it’s more suited I think
The fact that the iMac doesn't at least have the M3 Pro as an option is so strange.
I guess I’m ignorant when it comes to SSD storage but why is the 2TB more than twice as much as the 1TB option?
It is crazy how the his office is a catch all you deserve a clean and nice area to work with the best of the best devices or tools to make your work flow better
6:15 Thats the old Bong sound, whoever edited this video just put the old Mac bong sound effect overtop of the new one that actually played out of the speakers of the iMac lol
Luke Miami! 😂😂😂😂
please explain how the masters of the aesthetic, Apple, leave a white bezel on a yellow surround?!
I think you should’ve done Mac mini pro with the Apple monitor. Would handle the power your wanting
Honestly? I like the white bezel on the yellow machine. It looks... unique! Lol.
those headphones are great, just get new cushions man!
1:21 Can the frame smart tv be used to watch netflix etc or is it just a digital picture frame
Nice photo there with jr austin
Can someone tell me what the fish picture was on his tv? I want it as a background.
lol i use a 10 year old samsung smart tv 40" as my monitor...works amazingly
I'd be on board if they made a 5k imac with the pro/mac/ultra chip.
I love how it takes 5 minutes for the video to start
When I clicked this vid I was hoping apple made a 540hz monitor
The yellow is groovy as hell!
So what we have here is a tech upgrade the conveniently features a frame TV 🤔🤔🤔
- Did not expect that crossover with LM .
Wouldn't have been easier and cheaper to get the Studio display? 27in 5k and you can dock your m2 max laptop to it.... idk.. thats kinda an odd choice...
Could you mount the display upside down I think it may look better to me
Austin... Try adding 25% sales tax to Apple products. It's crazy expensive here in Sweden
sofa censored= oh... what you hiding Austin? 😈
wait, is austins favourite color also yellow?ive never met anyone whos favourite color is also yellow O and yes, if i could, i would copy this beautiful setup
512GB is a phone storage these days, Apple still stuck in 2014, my 250$ Desktop has 1 TB nvme and 1TB 2.5" Sata SSD, both cost around 100$
Where can we get the Mac keycaps??
"Nothing small has never hurt anybody..." Ever heard of BULLETS Austin???
the price is why i’ll never understand the imacs, you can get a macbook and have the portability with more performance for the amount you payed for the imac
the bottom bezel looks kinda like sticky notes pasted uniformly on a white wall
This video made me realize Austin really loves yellow
I have to ask... why not a studio and an amazing monitor? Or even a mini and a badass monitor
12:18 As Linus said: "It's a write-off"
Well this was very interesting 😆
Seeing Ramona Park Broke My Heart gave me another reason to love you 😭
Austin Evans, the only person on earth who bought Alpha Tauri clothing 😂
You could lean into a black and yellow aesthetic. That way you can go "yeah, uh huh, you know what it is".
