M3 iMac 2023 - Why this is my SECOND iMac since 2009!!

[@DRAM-68]

Thank you for reviewing an upgraded (16GB) M3 iMac. Everyone else is reviewing the base 8GB version and then complain about the poor video processing and gaming performance. Your review gives us a much better view of the M3 capabilities.

[@PatrickRambles]

Appreciate it 🙏

[@SteveHinrichs]

I never thought about having an iMac as a family computer out in the living area. That is a great idea. They are amazing looking computers. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Steve!

[@xsalonga]

I just received my purple M3 iMac! My first ever! I’m completely enamored with the design and of course the functionality. It’s such a fantastic investment and I look forward to utilizing it for the next decade!

[@PatrickRambles]

Nice! I remember how much I loved my first iMac. It's such a different user experience.

[@Brad-cb2dt]

Pretty sure the reason the Magic Mouse's charging port is in such a weird spot is because the whole lithium-ion battery assembly was just retrofitted into the existing AA battery Magic Mouse design. I hope they give it a full redesign at some point.

[@NetvoTV]

Maybe they are redesign them and haven't make it for the M3 iMac and they will release them sometime later next year which is the last year of selling non USB C wired charging product, they will have new option to select these at the iMac purchase option screen!

[@Brad-cb2dt]

@@NetvoTV yeah, technically they can still sell lightning equipped things until the end of 2023 I believe, so this was also a guess I’ve made. Seems like simply changing the charging port to USB-C would not necessarily take all that long, so perhaps they are taking this opportunity to redesign the Magic Mouse… But it also could be that they are just simply getting rid of stock of the lightning equipped Magic Mice and Keyboards. That said, regardless of the reason for the delay, I think all of their accessories will switch to USB-C at the same time to avoid having the need to bundle two different charging cables along with every purchase.

[@yeknommonkey]

They want the mouse charging under there to stop people just leaving them plugged in. And to be fair they charge in a few mins and last for weeks.

[@MaiElizabeth]

Now you mention that, it makes me wanting to see the layout of its internal now

[@Brad-cb2dt]

@@yeknommonkey could be either, or both 🤷‍♂️. I definitely thought that too, but after looking at the bottom of my AA Magic Mouse, I had that epiphany. Just speculation, but it’s very surprising how the lightning port location almost lines up with the battery door latch on the other model.

[@jimtipton8888]

That's a really cool iMac and I think a lot of people will enjoy it. Had one for 9 years and loved it, but happier with a MBP and 2 external displays. Added a pair of Home Pod minis as the sound system and have a Magic Mouse and keyboard. For me, having a built in HDMI port and SD Card slot are a must. Also nice that the MBP isn't a slave to my desk. Look forward to watching further reviews on this beautiful machine though.

Thank you, for this fun review of your new colorful 24-inch iMac system. The "Gold" model is also my favorite color but, I would have selected the full size keyboard with a built-in number pad. What, I like the most is, this iMac is truly a portable desktop easy and light weight to carry throughout the house from room to room. In addition, with an outside extension cord it can also be used on a patio deck. While, my home office has the space for two desktop systems my problem is, I just do not have a need for it (smile...smile).

The 24” isn’t as big of a size downgrade as you might think. After previously using a 27” setup for many years, I just adjusted the resolution and pulled it a couple of inches closer.

[@swissgator6312]

ironically, I'm watching this video on my 2013 27" iMac. I've upped the RAM to 24GB and I now use an external SSD for my system (This didn't have the internal SSD, but I've been tempted to break it open and install one, but not yet). Now I don't do any heavy duty computing on it but what I use it for, it still works great. The biggest challenge is that because I can't upgrade from Catalina (unless I hack it) there is now some software that isn't supported and some features I'd love to have from more recent OS's. Point is, I really can't think of another computer that has stood the test of time so well and I'm sure your new iMac will be useful for years to come. One disclaimer, is that if they did come out with a 27", I might pull the trigger. But now, downsizing would be tough.

Yeah I agree, 27" was the better screen size

[@theepimountainbiker6551]

Macs are pretty versatile you can use a external hard drive if you want. If you'd want to share filea with a Windows system best to format it in FAT32, MS owns NTFS so macs dont work well with that format but FAT32 is limited to 4GB file size. So ya, you can expand the drive size externally but it comes with some limits if you plan to use the same external drive between mac and a windows pc.

I have the maxed out M1 iMac with 16 GB / 2 TB and it runs everything fast and fine and a really clean setup. One problem is virtual machines will give me out of memory messages. This isn't a show stopper since I still have a 27 inch iMac with a i7 that has memory for those things. I am planning on upgrading soon and still have mixed feelings since I don't run Final Cut Pro. The M3 should be fine for me, 24 GB may just be enough. Part of me wants to make the jump to the Pro Macs.

[@PatrickRambles]

I love the look and feel and the all in one nature of the iMacs. But I wouldn't buy one as my main workhorse. What I love about the M3 Macbook Pro is that I don't have to worry about running out of anything. The downside is the (slightly insane) price.

[@garydomaz1849]

I feel that I must add something when Patrick spoke about the storage and unified memory. 8GB of unified memory and 256 GB of storage is more than enough if you are purchasing a certain amount of iCloud storage space monthly. It is also more than enough if your use for your iMac is typical, web surfing, typing papers/correspondence, video watching, Zoom/video calls/meetings, and other alike tasks. ONLY and ONLY if you intend to use your iMac to run certain software do you need anything beyond this, like the video editing that he mentioned. For example, a geneticist uses certain software for work in forensic genealogy, so this labor-intensive software would require a better computer. Since he uses his M3 MacBook Pro for the same thing, I agree that he should have maxed out the features on that device as well as chose a Pro instead of an Air, although other KZbinrs have tested the Air and deemed it pretty much just as capable. I bought my iMac for ergonomic reasons and do use it as my primary device, but I also have an M2 MacBook Air, base model of course, that is basically an extension of my iMac. But definitely consider saving all your files and work to your iCloud storage so you can access it on any apple device.

I was considering one as a family computer but I simply can't justify spending 400 dollars to upgrade to what I consider the bare minimum memory specs when market prices for the extra 8gb ram stick and 512gb m.2 ssd totals maybe 50 dollars. At 1300 I think it'd be worthwhile for the nice screen and minimalist look of the setup. But you almost need to spend 1700 because of the memory scam and then it's just too much for the family computer role which can be filled more than adequately by a 500 dollar pc setup.

@@PatrickRambles I will probably going to try the studio next after I try out the MacBook Pro if this laptop does not work out for me

[@PatrickRambles]

@34skyline I can't wait for my M3 Max to arrive. If I had to pick only one Mac, I'd always pick the MacBook. Hook it up to an external display and you've got yourself a full setup 💪

The Magic Mouse is not bad It was awesome when it first came out It’d be nice to see them update to something new though But it’s Apple They do what Apple does

[@ericmatthews8497]

I forced myself to use (and learn) a Magic Mouse and now I actually prefer it to all other mice. The secret sauce is in Mission Control and virtual desktops. I set up a desktop for each workflow and then effortlessly flip between them with the Magic Mouse. There is no better way to do this .. not in heaven or here on Earth. The charging complaints are overblown. First, use the desktop power widget to monitor the charge, if it's low at the end of the day - plug it in! If you failed at that and it dies next the day .. plug it in! Then grab a drink or hit the bathroom and when you come back you can unplug and finish the day. No big. Finally, I love the iMac. The number of colors you can select from is pure joy. The 24" screen has more pixels that ANY PC monitor you can get.. Well, without spending more than you did for the iMac. The M3 chip is a welcome upgrade, but don't forget the other upgrades (RAM, SSD, numpad keyboard) to make it perfect. It costs more, but perfection usually does.

Has this iMac the fan noise?

[@PatrickRambles]

Not yet!

[@microstrader]

For THAT price, why not M2Max Studio?

[@jeysmoothies]

I’ll be getting a green iMac soon

[@PatrickRambles]

Sweet!

What’s up catrick!

Why didn't you pay 50€ more for the yellow Magic Trackpad 3 instead of saving it and getting the Magic Mouse that you didn't want anyway?

[@PatrickRambles]

That was the option that was still available here.
