The chin? I think that is what makes it an iMac in the first place. Without it, it would be just some random screen. I love my 2020 iMac with the large chin.
Can't understand why some folks complain about the chin and the colours or the white bezel. For me the new iMac is just amazing, ordered mine in blue - hopefully it will be here by end of may 😜
chin is not ugly. this is a a modern take on a classic. I think it looks great. white bezels are fine. the white macbook with white bezels was one of apples best selling laptops ever.
I presume it's because they expect to sell 2 of them. It's basically make-to-order, and thus extremely expensive to make. Most people will buy the bezel skin only... a few will buy the chin skin, too. Those can be made 10k at a time. Economy of scale.
Yes and I think it’s great for people who use light mode. I know lots of people use the dark modes now, but for those who don’t, the white bezels are not a big issue.
The external power supply is GENIUS! You can’t imagine how many of those can go bad because of an outage or bad weather. Getting it replaced is expensive and you had to take the display off and risk breaking it, void your warranty and many things can go wrong. This is just waaaay more simple ☺️
High end orange model bought on launch day. It will be replacing my 16” MacBook Pro. I was hoping for a larger screen size option but 24” will be a considerable improvement on what I already have.
Yes and he just compared to a monitor which is just a screen on a stick There’s no computer inside And I’d you look it up yourself, you can’t find any other all in one desktop PCs that doesn’t have a chin, they all have chins
Why are people complaining and acting like apple didn’t do colours and white bezels in the original iMac? This is obviously a throwback to the g3 iMac..
I really don‘t have a problem with the chin… good space to grab the display to adjust to your sitting position, stick post-its to it or maybe even some sort of phone holder…, or simply enjoy the color you selected for your iMac.
The whole black bezels being more immersive argument seems to neglect the fact that the surrounding areas around, over and behind the computer probably won't be black. My wall isn't black, my desk isn't black. my computer speakers aren't black. Cubicles aren't black. Yeah preferably there should be no bezels, but there are. The fact that the iMac isn't another run-of-the-mil black/silver electronic gives it character. Besides, the human eye has the capability of focusing on a specific area and isolating the area of focus from it's surroundings, so the surrounding white borders will be negligible. Even if they aren't, we're getting a 24" 4.5K display, premium speakers, premium microphone, a biometric recharging keyboard, a touch sensitive mouse, a decent webcam, and a state of the art processor.
What sells the 24” iMac for me is the 4.5k screen. Although the Air is also a possibility, with an external screen, mouse and keyboard coming later if necessary. I’m also considering the mini.
The chin is what makes an iMac an iMac. The chin makes it instantly recognizable as an iMac even without the Apple logo. I don’t mind the chin being there Anyways 🤷🏾♂️
9:44 How does one step on a power cord? Virtually everyone has their desk at the wall and 10:05 there are many people out that have it worse with wiring so one thick cord isn't gonna do much compared to the ones that have a bunch of cords.
Excuse me, but at 1:10 at the video, it is showing “LG 2021 iMac”, I think it was written wrong. Because I think it is “Apple 2021 iMac”.But I loved the video🤍
This was a nice breakdown of things to know prior to placing an order for a new 24-inch iMac system. One item that, I feel most reviewers miss is the fact these new colorful 24-inch iMac's are so light weight, they are really a portable desktop computer. Very easy to carry from room to room in a home, or to pick-up and drive it to your favorite coffee shop (smile...smile).
can't wait to see how fast my new iMac will be compared to my current one which is 10 years old, not that it's bad, it actually still works well, but now I need something I can actually use for my job as a designer
great no BS content, straight to the point, I loved it, sure is great value for money. I am going to see it in person before getting one, silver one for me! I like the 24" size. Dont need anything bigger.
We now need a 24" Apple display in an iMac case for that lovely duel-screen look. How about two iMacs linked by Thunderbolt for double the compute power?
I think from your video it's clear that you hate this new iMac. But I think this version it's simply not created for you. This is a premium Desktop computer for Home Users, for this purpose I thinks It meets all the requirement, I personally love the design and the Basels, I think it's iconic, recognizable and the color offer makes it very fresh. For professional heavy workflows we will have to wait for the high end versions that I'm sure will have black Basels and higher specs all across board.
Thanks, Daniel, for explains the new iMac. Not sure I’m ready to upgrade just quite yet. I do love Touch ID. I have it on my Pro and phone, would love to have on my Mac. I’m a little nervous about only 256gb storage but maybe I shouldn’t be? I use Illustrator and Photoshop at times. I hope the new iMac would be powerful enough and 256gb would be okay. I would want the extended keyboard that I have now, too. A lot of this stuff is over my head, but I might watch again to see if I can understand it better. Love your videos, thanks for breaking things down and bringing new info on possible changes. I would get the black skin for the monitor. What was Apple thinking?
Actually that’s not true. I’m looking forward to being able to move mine around. I’m stuck in a little spare room/office since my husband has been working from home because he has taken up the large desk open space as he has the more complicated set up and works full time. With a light weight Mac I’ll be more inclined to move around. I work on photographs and lesson prep. I can work on the kitchen bench top or the dining table when I want more open space and better light and then move back into the smaller room when I’m sick of listening to my husbands latest meeting :)
@@OziJo1 Actually that's not true. Dombower is talking about "thickness" and you are arguying with him talking about "weight". These are two different things. A thicker iMac does not mean at all a heavier iMac. So I very much agree with dombower's comment : "No one cares how thick it is."
I actually searched for a TV without the black bezels. Mine has silver. And it’s much less heavy in your living room. I have to see in real life to see how the iMac does.
A traditional plug for the cable on the back would have been too big to plug in just like the headphone jack. That’s why they chose to make a magnetic one. To be able to keep the overall thinness of the design.
I believe the real reason Apple removed the logo from the front Dan is that they want it to look good in other people's videos. People cover the logo and Apple wants their product to always look good. Even in your videos; don't put that ugly sticker on my Apple logo so Apple removed the logo problem! ;)
I ordered the vesa version, cause it's gonna hang on my kitchen wall. Just a little afraid of how much space the magsafe-power takes. Apple should have made a slim magsafe version for the vesa model.
Hi, thanks for the video very informative. Could you please elaborate on adding 2 external extended displays on new iMac? How to do it and what you’ll need to make it possible?
Or you can get the VESA mount and won't have to see a stand, and have more flexibility with the height and actual location, and more space on your desk if you mount it on the wall, or the edge of your desk. The disadvantage of the Desktops over the Mac Books is that they have a battery and if you currently plugged in and the power goes out, the desktop will go down, and you didn't get to save what you are working on, or properly shut it down, and you can't work on it until your power goes back on. That is unless you have a generator hooked up to your house or a battery backup on your computer and Internet connection device. On the Mac Books and I-Pads, you will be on battery and can use it till the battery goes dead.
I’m looking at Blue high end config, max out 16gb memory/2TB SSD for just under $3k USD. Just wondering if I can use my USB mechanical keyboard “Das Keyboard” with a dongle. Maybe I should wait 4 Pro version or M1X iMac.
Correction. The LG ultra fine display is actually slightly larger. Per apples spec the iMac has a 23.5” screen rounded up. See footnotes on apples website
It's really a mixed bag for me... I love the new colors and I could totally rock the red one. But I'd miss the Apple logo on the chin like crazy....! Hardware-wise, Apple is abusing its territory as far as the M1 gets. If I buy an iMac, I expect it to perform better than a laptop... Anyways, I just finished paying up the iMac Pro 5K that I bought, and I don't see an upgrade coming my way for at least another 2 to 3 years... Now, my laptop, though, is really old, and I might decide to upgrade THAT for the Macbook Pro... We will see. Tks for the video. Nicely done.
i'm waiting for iMac pro. can you imagine editing videos and rendering 3D with apple-silicon optimized apps using the power of M1x ooooh boi it's gunna be good
Ordered a Blue Chin. Wbu?
got the pink!
Yellow. Think it has quite a classic look (mostly the vivid back, of course)
have a m1 MacBook Air base model
got nothing as i’m broke 😐
I went with the blue and got it for fcp
The chin? I think that is what makes it an iMac in the first place. Without it, it would be just some random screen. I love my 2020 iMac with the large chin.
Those chins are beautiful ! A Mac without a chin wouldn’t be an iMac
The obsession with the chin is disappointing. So much hot air has been added to the planet to no purpose.
Can't understand why some folks complain about the chin and the colours or the white bezel. For me the new iMac is just amazing, ordered mine in blue - hopefully it will be here by end of may 😜
Because you’re an easy consumer to please when it comes to tech.
I’m going to get the silver one it looks pretty good and it’s clean
Honestly I’d love to track my outdoor cat with an airtag cause I’m curious where it goes when I’m not home💀
chin is not ugly. this is a a modern take on a classic. I think it looks great. white bezels are fine. the white macbook with white bezels was one of apples best selling laptops ever.
Honestly, I love the design, Chin and all.. it’s distinctively an iMac. I will look great in my hone since my color theme is mostly white. Perfect.
$500 for a skin you have to install yourself is insane!
Wait too expensive!
I’d rather buy the Mac pro wheels
But in this case, it is totally worth it.

@Russian Roulette
Tim forcing all men to embrace pastel colors. I just do not accept that.
@@80-80. You are too attached to toxic masculinity. Men like colors too. Get the Blue. Or if you are THAT boring, get the silver and quit whining.
My wall is always white, I use iMac for work, so all photos and documents look floating on the wall or in the air with those white bezel. Works for me
Yes and I think it’s great for people who use light mode. I know lots of people use the dark modes now, but for those who don’t, the white bezels are not a big issue.
Dont remove the chin. I need it to stick post it notes. Its the main reason I get the new iMac....

All iMacs have had a chin. It’s part of the trade mark. I prefer white bezels. The black bezels are common and cheap.

5:15 wow didn't know this, it all makes sense now with the 7 core and 8 core options!

Ok, I'll go and paint the wall behind my TV black! It's better for content! 🤣
You said the iMac is larger than the 23.7" Ultrafine display. Isn't the iMac 23,5" though? Apple just rounds it up to 24", so it's actually smaller.
You are slightly wrong about the monitor size difference. The LG is 23.7" and the iMac is 23.5". Not saying that is an issue at all for me.
the iMac is 23.5" and therefore smaller than the Ultrafine 4k, also the difference is 600 dollars, not 500 ;)
What sells the 24” iMac for me is the 4.5k screen. Although the Air is also a possibility, with an external screen, mouse and keyboard coming later if necessary. I’m also considering the mini.
I was just charged for pre order. I wonder if it will ship soon.
Excellent review. I just ordered the top-end model with 2GB of storage. I am hopefully future-proofed for eight years or so.
Maybe for 1-2 years
I try to stay positive but the whole people complaining about white bezel and chin is just idiotic, really!
The Studio Display does make a perfectr monitor
The chin is what makes an iMac an iMac. The chin makes it instantly recognizable as an iMac even without the Apple logo. I don’t mind the chin being there Anyways 🤷🏾♂️
there's also a sudden increase of other brands putting chins on their monitors XD
Holding out for 32” imac
A work of art needs a frame around it. Bezels aren't a big deal on a desktop. A mobile device, that is different story.
Ya keep saying that until they reduce the bezels
@10:56 what are your sources to say that 8=16 and 16=32? I’m interested, this is a real question.
9:44 How does one step on a power cord? Virtually everyone has their desk at the wall and 10:05 there are many people out that have it worse with wiring so one thick cord isn't gonna do much compared to the ones that have a bunch of cords.
It’s a crap stopgap between the MacBook Pro and the 32 inch iMac m1x

Black electrical tape will resolve the white edge problem on the new imac and save some money
Hopefully dbrand comes out with a skin for this lol bottom and back
We now need a 24" Apple display in an iMac case for that lovely duel-screen look.
How about two iMacs linked by Thunderbolt for double the compute power?
Very nice review 👍
Hi Daniel, you always have great advice. I'm deciding whether to upgrade my 2013 macbook pro to the macbook air or the new imac.
Forgot mic cameras speakers
Do you think there will me more Macs announced at WWDC?
Excellent content as always, Daniel. I’m seriously considering picking one up. Trying to decide on a colour! 👍

Is it possible to open an attachment from iMac's ical on the Apple Watch?
The chin is beautiful, however only with the Apple symbol and less bubble gum colors.
White borders compliment the iMac colors better than black.
Thanks for all the updates appreciate it 🔥💯
Dude….can you give me a heart to make me smile?😅

Watch MaxTech channel he does talk a lot in his reviews. Uses several different benchmarks softwares and more.
11:04 why is the RAM acting like it’s doubled on M1? Did I miss something?
Idk why acts double ?
@@matthewelerick648 Daniel said that 16 gigs is similar to 32 gigs in the previous one, check the timecode out
@@asmodeoux so if I get a i gig of ram I’ll feel like 32 gig
I love your videos they are really qualitative but time stamps would be nice
Cool, but bring on the bigger screen one.
Just ordered the pink iMac with16gb unified memory and 512gb ssd storage can’t wait!!!!
Nice that you say the chin makes the iMac unique
I’m disappointed that the mouse has not been redesigned.
iMacs don’t move. No one cares how thick it is.
Exactly!
so why are people so obsessed about it? Apparently many people do care or they wouldn't mention it so often.

The chin is standard iMac design it’s not going to change it is what recognizable.
Hi, thanks for the video very informative. Could you please elaborate on adding 2 external extended displays on new iMac? How to do it and what you’ll need to make it possible?
You'll need a DisplayLink adapter.
The chin looks better if you put a white apple sticker onto it.
Or you can get the VESA mount and won't have to see a stand, and have more flexibility with the height and actual location, and more space on your desk if you mount it on the wall, or the edge of your desk.

The imac is 23.5 inches
I’m waiting for the Mac BookPro 14” later this year
I'd prefer iMac. I'm using almost 6 years old iMac and would update it once there may be available iMac with bigger screen.
Nice moustache you got, Daniel!
It can immulate surrounds.
The display is only 23.5”” (apple website) and the last iMac with TDM was the 2013 non retina iMac
Would you recommend 8GB or 16GB unified memory for Logic Pro on the entry iMAC (7-core GPU)?
Hey, what do you think about the low storage in the higher in model. It’s sad to not have a 1 TB option. 🙄
It might interest you to know Atmos uses a top firing speaker to simulate surround.
