Thanks Steve!

[@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 🙏

[@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!

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

[@herthaschwartz]

This was a super great review. I could find the answer to all my questions related to this wonderful machine! Thanks a million.

[@carlosread5887]

Patrick, I really liked the office, the furniture, the use of 2 cameras, and (above all) the time and effort you took to set up the lights for this video. All that tells me you know hat you are talking about when it refers to video. Liked you honest opinion!

[@PatrickRambles]

Thank you so much 🙌

[@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.

I’m a business owner, bookkeeping actually, and am excited because the programs I use for bookkeeping are iOS friendly now! It’s going to be a year, but I’m going to be going from PC to Apple! Like you, I like the all-in-one set up. My desktop is so congested right now that I just don’t have the workspace I need. As well, my iPad and iPhone are my preferred way of scheduling meetings and so forth, and with an iMac, it will be so much easier to update my calendar and have access to all my files anywhere I am. Thank you for such a clear and honest review!

[@transitengineer]

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).

It's certainly a gorgeous-looking machine - especially in yellow and gold - but I just can't contemplate moving away from my old 27-inch iMac from 2017 until Apple come up with a larger screen iMac. Where is that new iMac Pro? Nevertheless, I hope you continue to enjoy your new iMac.

I agree, the larger display is better.

[@deebea6364]

This. Same for me. 27” or + :D such great machines! I’m on a 2012 and a 2015 iMac, and using a 2018 MBP i9 (but might upgrade MBP to M chip)

[@mendodsoregonbackroads6632]

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. I hardly even notice the difference in size. The 24” is also a 4.5k display, so better than 4k not quite 5k, in other words it’s really nice.

[@davidjacobs6244]

[@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.

[@paulychannel7914]

I've still got a 21.5 inch iMac from 2011... had to upgrade the RAM modules & get an external SSD to speed it up.. still works very well (on High Sierra ).. nevertheless....I reckon the M3 iMac will be the one for me next year..... when I can afford it...... LOL !

Great video! Thank you for sharing your first Mac experience (2009 27” iMac). Mine was a 2008 MacBook Pro, which I bought in January of that year. Since then I’ve been using Macs. Currently using a M1 Mac Studio with 32G of ram and 2TB internal drive along with the Studio Display. I replaced my aging late 2013 27” iMac with it. Now I wish I had waited for the M3’s but am happy with what I have. 😊

[@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.

[@PatrickRambles]

Yeah I agree, 27" was the better screen size

[@MSAPtube]

They need to put a battery in this thing and a handle on top so you can charge it and move it to the couch or the dining room table. A household portable. It's so light and thin, if they just did that I would buy it for home.

I am thinking of getting a M2 Air base model, but ... I guess I should do 16GB for that too eh? Future-proofing. I don't plan to do much with it, just for office work and consuming content on the go

[@chuck7415]

def go 16gb. You really don't want 8bg ram in 2023-2024.

[@dbloyd2]

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.

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.

The Magic Mouse 2 with lightning came out 8 years ago. On average I plug this mouse in 2 or 3 times a year. A simple 15 min charge will give you 2 months of usage. If you can’t find 15 min to charge this mouse without complaining, you have other issues in your life.

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.

But the updates ended at Catalina. It was time upgrade. So a match of this and iPhone 14 and I'm doing great. The migration tool took forever, but I DID NOT LOSE ONE FILE. Overall, a great experience.

Just curious how noticeable the reduction in screen sizes is (27" down to 24”)? I’ll be replacing my 2017 iMac soon. Appreciate it

[@PatrickRambles]

Oddly, not that noticeable. I think your brain just adjusts to it quickly.

Hey, Patrick, for working in the field of architecture, do you believe that a Ryzen 9 processor could be replaced by the latest best version of IMacs?

[@PatrickRambles]

The processor can certainly compete, but there is more to it. I guess it largely depends on the software you use and whether it's available on Mac. This video (Ryzen 9 vs M2) lays it out pretty well kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6u8h3ispK98iZYsi=QvfP7WaGomsHWIQi

[@Zembie1]

“I shoot in 4K”, but the maximum resolution option on KZbin is 2160p?

Hi Patrick I don’t know quite much about these things I’m looking to buy very soon. What’s the difference with the i7 is it possible to add it to this one ?

[@davidabbott6786]

The i7 is an Intel processor used in the old Macs including the iMacs. The new iMac uses the M3 processor developed by Apple exclusively for its products. It is much, much faster than the i7. You would not want to install one in a Mac even if you could.

@PatrickRambles Gee, you chose yellow? Those that follow you would have never guessed 😂. All kidding aside, the clean & minimal iMac drew me in very similar to you and gave me my first Apple experience, except this was the 1999 era. From there I upgraded the next few iMac generations until I bought my first MacBook Pro some 9 years ago. To this day it still works and although dated, still has some general use capabilities. Apple might be expensive but you get good value for the money long term. I also have a gaming PC laptop and I they always seem to within a couple years suffer performance drops and is slow to boot up. Recently I just purchased a MAC studio and display, probably overkill for what I am using it for, but it will be future proof for many years and who knows, maybe I’ll finally will get into video editing lol. This new iMac probably would have been better for what I am doing and saved me money, but it is a “mistake” I’m willing to live with. Great review as always 👍

[@PatrickRambles]

Haha, I know right? Who would have guessed it 😂. The Mac studio is an awesome machine too, I wouldnt regret that. I do appreciate PCs too, absolutely love my gaming PC. But they're not hassle free and they don't age well, like you said.

[@jaspalkallar5993]

As casual/family all-in-one computer, the iMac M3 is quite costly at £2100 for 24GB/1TB, though I can't deny it looks gorgeous. But when it comes time to upgrade you can't reuse the iMac's screen - such a waste.

[@jeysmoothies]

I’ll be getting a green iMac soon

[@PatrickRambles]

Sweet!

[@microstrader]

For THAT price, why not M2Max Studio?
