Hello Vadim! Want to ask you if you sell some of the computers you get for reviewing them? I’m a father of two and photographer, videographer in SoCal, San Diego and Baja. A few weeks ago I went to document an event at Valle de Guadalupe, gorgeous place but, I got jacked by a cartel band and they stole all my bags with my most important equipment (cameras, lenses and my macbook pro) it’s a serious hit since my insurance wont cover for all this in Baja. Lost over $30,000 in equipment and haven’t been able to buy back most of it. I had to give my assignments to fellow producers and act as an spectator/producer and pay for what I could’ve done… so, I need to buy a computer and everything else again but times have been hard after covid. No savings left… please let me know. 🙏🏻

We want a full comparasion between all base models of Apple silicon Macs in terms of SSD speed. Is it just me or the base M1 8/256 GB is faster than even the latest M4 16/256 GB even with double the RAM, double the CPU performance and with 2*128GB NANDs just like the M1 and M3 base models. At least in terms of write speed, read speeds at almost the same.

[@jansix4287]

I’ve only seen benchmarks for the Mac mini.

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

That's because they are. No-one quite knows why. What is clear, is I think M2 (?) was slower with 256 Gb SSD because of the way the SSD was connected to the bus. The smaller capacity had fewer data lines limiting bandwidth. Once you went up to 512 or 1 Tb, then the SSD got the full bus bandwidth, and therefore maximum performance. Seems Apple fixed this problem in the M3 and M4 so all capacities get maximum bandwidth.

[@akin242002]

For the target audience, kids and grandparents, not much of a difference. At least kids will get better gaming experience on Roblox with the M4 version.

@jire9831 The only professionals that could get massive benefits from it are UX/UI designers. They typically need an excellent display for their profession. 4.5k resolution with high color accuracy and 16GB of RAM fits perfectly for them.

@@jire9831people forget the m1 even with 8 gb of ram is capable of quite a bit more then just light browsing. A 400$ laptop can do those things and an m1 mb air can do 4k video editing, photo editing with large raw photos, coding etc. let alone an m4 Mac with double the ram.

One thing people don’t consider is the number of years left you will get Apple security updates. Even if you get a great price for an old Mac, you have to consider years left of security updates. The M4 chip is amazing. I took a 27” IMac apart to add an SSD. I said never again. I had to take everything out of the case. Very dangerous to break something by accident.

[@davidholley9023]

Well, this is a turn up for the books, not too long ago when the first Apple silicon computers were announced, we all thought how incredible they were and they were with the M1, but almost all KZbinrs were critical of Apple for not making a 27 or 30 inch monitor to go with it, now in 2024 it’s a different story now the screen that was touched too small in 2021 is now big enough and the machine itself is now fast enough to do professional work on, does this mean that you guys know something we don’t and that is we all have to settle on a 24 inch rather than the theoretical 30 inch. Now admittedly, I’m not a professional power user, and I do have the Current M1 24 inch iMac, and it has been absolutely incredible, beautiful machine, has been absolutely faultless from day one and I expect it will continue to be in a long time after. I just thought that maybe the same KZbinrs would’ve been able to give Apple a bit of a nudge about a big screen, and if they were influential enough Apple just may have listened and then we would’ve all benefit.

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

No config displayed! This is not Max Tech standard. I didn't know if you had the base model or one with upgraded chip.

[@cruztube23]

I'm a graphic designer, still working on the 27" 2020 iMac (Intel). It's time to upgrade and while I was initially pumped about the M4 Pro Mac mini, buying a new monitor is a dealbreaker, especially when there is no monitor like the 5K one I'm currently using. Apple's monitors are way too expensive. So my biggest question was: is the new iMac "pro enough" to handle all my needs. Thanks for answering! Going back to 24" will be weird but the M4 with 24 GB of RAM will be worth it!

[@roguewavecreative]

I think the answer is it would more than handle. as an example I had I have an M1 MacBook Pro Max that I bought new last year has 64 gig of memory and a terabyte. I got it for this insane deal at 2299 at Arama new just crazy. My point is as if you look at the benchmarks which I don’t really follow because I’m also graphic designer own and add agency and it’s like the whole benchmark thing. You have to be so careful because it really it depends on your the M chip is so amazing for a while before I got the M1 Max. I was using an M1 MacBook Air to do everything in Adobe and it more than what I needed. I mean I don’t know man I mean I think on that M4 chip with 16 gig you probably be fine but it just depends on what you’re doing. if you think you’re gonna keep that long-term, then I’d maybe go for the 32 gig but it just depends and I mean the nice thing about a desktop is that you can get external storage you don’t need to have the storage be that large if it’s your desktop so anyways, I’m just curious what you do because I think this machine would do more than what you need

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

ArtIsRight did a comparison of M4 vs. all previous gen., and M4 is the slowest of them all in some real world tests. Quite disappointing. This might explain why no-one is showing the iMac M4 doing anything serious, because it would be slow as hell. Even the SSD is extremely slow at only 2000 Mb/sec. You want at least a Mini with M4 Pro if you're doing any kind of reasonable workload, professional or casual. Even the base M4 Pro is way better than it appears. M4 Pro SSD perf is at the expected 5000 Mb/sec level, same as M1/M2/M3.

[@wojt4spes]

Personally I am going with „base” 4 ports version with 16gigs. I can see it not being sufficient in some 3-4 years, but seriously around that time, I will probably upgrade the setup. I can’t see a reason for upgrading RAM, when GPU is caped at M4. IMac is simply not meant to up-spec it, in my opinion, but the value in base is just great. My only problem is if I wan’t nano texture or not and no shop in my country is having them to compare. But I think, I might try to go with the standard and return if reflections will be a problem.

[@joesalyers]

My girlfriend needs a new computer for our businesses, banking & bookkeeping and she was looking at a new Mac mini M4 but if you add in the cost of a Touch ID keyboard, trackpad, and a basic 4K monitor then it’s the same as just getting the iMac 🖥 so hopefully she doesn’t see my comment but she has her office all decked out in purple and gold so I ordered her the purple iMac with nano texture glass as an early Christmas present.

Deliberately avoided because the M4 is embarassingly slow. It slower than the whole Mx line-up. Even SSD is the slowest at 2000 Mb/sec. That makes this iMac M4 slow. The base spec to get is M4 Pro, regardless of your workload, because there actually appears to be something wrong with the M4.

QUESTION: I have never heard anyone analyze the actual APU count inside each GPU core on the M series chips. I am sure there must be a difference between GPUs on each chip. Can you do a deep dive comparison on the GPU section between the M1 and M4 chips? On nVidia GPU processors the big selling feature is the CUDA core count. The equivalent on the M series would be the APU count. I have found on one reddit post that the M1 has 128 arithmetic units” or 128 APUs per GPU core. I haven’t found the APU count per core for the M4 chips. Also…what frequencies do they run at? THANKS!!

[@sidbrun_]

@@paradoxicalcat7173 yep checked out his videos and they far more thorough. And today he posted the M4 Pro with 14 cores vs the M4 Pro with 12 cores and a lot of the tests actually make a difference, so I'm definitely getting the 14 core chip. Overall super impressed with this gen. I think the M4 being a lot less powerful than the Pro/Max chips makes a lot of sense.

Consider how much more money you will spend on mini + display and continues upgrades. IMac is what it is.

@@jansix4287 that’s the point. You get options with the Mini.

@@dougscott188 And mostly worse options. You also lose the option of getting a nice colorful All-In-One with all the peripherals included in one package. You should buy what makes you happy and that could well be the hassle-free experience of an iMac. 🖥️

Hello Vadim! Want to ask you if you sell some of the computers you get for reviewing them? I’m a father of two and photographer, videographer in SoCal, San Diego and Baja. A few weeks ago I went to document an event at Valle de Guadalupe, gorgeous place but, I got jacked by a cartel band and they stole all my bags with my most important equipment (cameras, lenses and my macbook pro) it’s a serious hit since my insurance wont cover for all this in Baja. Lost over $30,000 in equipment and haven’t been able to buy back most of it. I had to give my assignments to fellow producers and act as an spectator/producer and pay for what I could’ve done… so, I need to buy a computer and everything else again but times have been hard after covid. No savings left… please let me know. 🙏🏻

I wish it had an oled 120hz refresh rate to fully utilize the m4 chip capabilities like gaming at high refresh rate😢😢😢

My uncle is a computer expert and he advises to buy a Pentium computer, because it can do Hyperthreading! 😮

[@davidallen2211]

I don't see anything "pro" about it, 23.5 inches 60hz, and 16GB of ram is basic consumer. They made a device here that fits the everyday user, plug in, turn on, go. M4 chip not even needed here.

[@jansix4287]

But it’s Apple RAM, so equivalent to 32 GB on Windows.

[@davidallen2211]

@@jansix4287 Still not considered a "pro level" machine, it would take more than just the ram.

Stop glazing bro, that is false

@@davidallen2211 Yeah, it needs macOS. That's what separates pro from trash.

You obviously didn't read the directions as to how to open the box.

Disappointing hard drive but it's not intended as a pro machine. The internal hard drive is slow and you can't boot from a faster external. The system software benefits from a fast main hard drive.
