I’m not a big Internet user but for what I need for editing video editing and for my T-shirt company would you say that the 215 iMac is a good computer for just basic usage
Comment from : @ksweetz444

I bought the exact same model base model M1 Really good machine but I just don’t think Apple pulled it off aesthetically to look at, it somehow looks awkward especially compared to the one beside it
Comment from : @christofinb

i bought last year a used/refurbished 2019 Imac 215 with Core I7 8700, 16gb ram, and 256 gb SSD and It still runs very well
Comment from : @alfredomegelo3573

this is my current imac its awesome replaced a late 2011 imac (also 24") thought that one had a lot more ports and a DVD player the trade offs are ok this is way more sleek and faster for sure
Comment from : @happyonthetrails

The one on your Left looks like a Lenovo😮
Comment from : @JohnMastersDOESitALL

And on an old iMac you can install Windows and play tons of games
Comment from : @alexshredder-c5v

the M1 iMac is losing support in 2026 or 2027 (feature updates) sooooo
Comment from : @jpedrothejo

Who other than a cat lady want a stupid base model that can’t do anything 2 years later!
Comment from : @Gearsandco

Just bought 215 imac with Intel core i5, 1 terabyte of HD space, and 8 gigs of ram for 120$ bucks Updated the operating software and cleaned up some of the stored files in the library and the machine is magical for the cash
Comment from : @cesaraherrerajr1306

PS A bigger screen and likely thicker for improved airflow Bezel issue aside, you guys raved about 2019 16 inch MBP, and its good but it gets very very hot So, I question the judgement of someone who can overlook such things That said, I love the channel
Comment from : @Applecompuser

I would choose one haves more ports than laptop because I know desktop are better because desktop doesn't power by battery but outlet and not so thin or getting hot in the inside too
Comment from : @Raven_Oak

I probably go ith the Intel because I can use legacy applications that no longer work on Apple Silicon
Comment from : @JoTokutora

I wouldn't want to buy the m1 imac because I can't upgrade /remove the hard drive Hard drives are ware items and also if the mlb dies or any of the major components go out i loose my data Were as i could just pull the hard drive and stick in another mac and continue on with the other imac

Calling ugly design unique Just wow

Comment from : @Hagenuk

I'd get the "27 iMac and replace the CPU/RAM/Storage over the M1 any day!!! Great video!
Comment from : @juancabeza5809

Off course the old iMac shape is the best design, I hope apple will bring them back with new chip on, I hate the new design iMac looks gay
Comment from : @IdrisShenaee

Like you said, I upgraded a late 2012, 215" iMac It is also running Sonoma 145 Lot's of fun However, I just bought the M3 iMac Don't know what the fate of the 2012 will be at the moment
Comment from : @williamirizarry1113

how can I get in touch with you on email

Great video, Luke! What best-best processor I can put into 2017 4k iMac? Thanks!
Comment from : @princashamletas8722

Still using my 2014br 27 inch 5K iMacbrPut a 2 TB hard drive in it runs big sir very fast Great graphics No need to upgrade Does everything I want
Comment from : @mattm1686

It is a horrible machine in my country and nobody wants it 8gb ram, small ssd and not 27 inch Little useless thing I'm sorry
Comment from : @TheoKlopstra

Considering I like to use local LLM's, I would get the M1
Comment from : @ewasteredux

Why in the chapter it is m2 mac while it use intel core i 5 ? I mean that makes no sense :/ brAnyway good video ! Might upgrade from my 2015 215 imac
Comment from : @doge-gaming-wow

just got an M3 24 inch iMac after a failed CPU upgrade to my 2020 and I HATE it it doesn't seem to run as smooth as my older 5k iMac, it seems to take longer to process than the older one did in Fusion as well and that 3 inches in screen size is missed badly
Comment from : @97JoMiller

I’ll go for iMac 27 late 2017, I’m wondering if I can replace HDd to 2TB m2 drive and 1TB m2 as well, I’ve already have drives lying around
Comment from : @adriantraczyk

To be honest, for me it's quite simple why that newer Imac isn't that popular: it looks cheap It looks like some computer that is made for kids, with all kinds of blocked content and stuff Lol I mean, compare the grey one with the older imac (also grey) It just looks plastic and cheap The older imacs simply look way more premium Even knowing that the edges are nicer on the newer imacs, but that's really the only thing (looks wise) In my opinion, those 'funky' colors are simply a terrible move People want premium devices that also look premium for the extremely-premium prices they pay for it Steve Jobs would've never approved this funky color sh*t
Comment from : @mijnnaampje

M1 iMac would be great deal if they didn't decide to take away the ability to use it as an external monitorbrClassic braindead Apple move
Comment from : @weathercontrol0

Planned obsolescence is evil
Comment from : @genreonlinenet

I have a 2019 Core I 5 with a two TB fusion HDD and upgraded the ram to 24 gigs and I also have it in a 27 inch 5K Retina display and honestly every time I look at the M1 or M3, I think people are paying more for less because it comes in pretty colors Seriously, if you make YouTube shorts and videos and utilize the Mac for tasks like Writing and backing up files from your iOS devices, why would I want to give up a 27 inch machine that gives me more options than a new M1 or M3, which limits people instead? Am I wrong?
Comment from : @genreonlinenet

u would go for the 215 inch iMac since thats got all the things i need to edit videos
Comment from : @DogeGamesVR

Costco has a sale now in UK £999 for this iMac with 8GPU, 16 GB Ram and 1TB SSD
Comment from : @LukaszOrlas

The M1 when the video was made, now I'd definitely get the M3 which is on the list for my wife to replace her 2015 27" iMac I upgraded her 2015 with a 1TB SSD and 24GB of RAM, but it's just not getting the job done for her now She is adamant that she doesn't want a laptop She wants the M3 iMac (24GB/1TB) even though the screen is a bit smaller After 56 years of marriage, I'm certainly not going to argue with her about that!
Comment from : @fitch8363

Just paid $799 for mine I have your exact model I use it strictly for grad school but it surfs the net just fine which is all I need
Comment from : @lauren6509

The best imac would be always imac g3
Comment from : @bijaypanda6438

They really need to put the Pro chips on the iMac I would buy one as an office computer if it came with like the M-Pro or M-Max chips, but without them I ain’t spending $1000 on a really non pro in a my way machine brbr27” M-Max iMac for like $4000 Yeah count me in I’m buying that
Comment from : @rafaeldomenikos5978

This time I would rater prefer a gaming laptop for that money, well at least for me that I am not a HUGE Apple fan I think works more for me
Comment from : @MRHOTCAKE

I use an I9 32gb for AI transcription (AIKO) and it sucks By comparison I can do the same AI transcription on my Iphone 12 at least 10 times faster - Now that's a HUGE forward leap, an IPhone beating out a a complete computer

Comment from : @merankankaniarchchige7613

Dude, these machines are so good I still use a 2007 though, no need to upgrade 💀
Comment from : @westernllamas

$1000 what a sale
Comment from : @John-oe6pp

I think the issue is the tiny screen and the candy coated looking Just based on the design they really not aimed any serious user, they look like toys and they kept the size what usually picked for not tech savvy kids first computer Also everything soldered no update or swp repair for a broken memory module or drive so its not future proof even a little (I have a 2007 working imac, still in use This thing I would be glad if still running after 3 or 4 years) Its more like a tablet with a stand solderd to its back
Comment from : @petercselik5674

Exactly what I was looking for I wanted to get the 21 1/2 inch MK but I didn’t know if it would be upgradable Thanks
Comment from : @prov31x

24 in is too small
Comment from : @2rightsmakeauturn

I think a lot of people are not buying them because for a few hundred dollars more you can get a more capable gaming PC that can… ya know… play games Like AAA graphic intensive games And this thing probably doesn’t do such a good job at that
Comment from : @MackDaddyVic

It runs super slow
Comment from : @chewie1355

You can get one of these now for 850
Comment from : @KungFuChess

Great video I don’t think I’ll ever buy a non-upgradable Mac again
Comment from : @rinnin

i tell u what bud if u buy me one ill take it but not all of u can aford them i barly could get the 215 2011 imac i have
Comment from : @tylerhoran8019

I got the 2019, 27"(barely used) from a lady, about a year ago and I use it more than the M1!
Comment from : @ReR7474

In advance i apologizebrbrBut the imac is a sweet system It small light and all in one If youve never worked fir a medium/small biz you wont get it, but thats a godsend They love to buy one thing at a time woth jo logic So getting new system is next to impossible Unless, you uave an all in one brbrI rocked a core i7 imac 2015 for like three years and loved it I preferred the mac os accounting software and writing emails brbrIt was a huge hurdle going bsck to PC, we never recovered Did make sending shit to customers easy though since they all used old ass PCs (construction product industry)brbrbrI still want an m1 imac Even though its old now its just a well done machine I would get the 16GB RAM one though but thats only cause id plan to use for like a decade
Comment from : @Errcyco

The new imac design is awful Looks like a cheap windows PC
Comment from : @antoni7107

I ve ordered my new imac with 10 core gpu 24 gb ram and 1 tb ssd brI want to keep it for years is very iconic love it
Comment from : @nekk74able

Apple itself was ever overpriced, but now it's seems to be a Fair Price
Comment from : @BeatemupMaster

What also cheap I see, is a old Mac mini from 2009 for 100!brMaybe this is way outdated, but it is a Mac after all
Comment from : @BeatemupMaster

One Reason is, you have now Mac StudiobrI way Powerful as everything and a iMac is less powerful, but that's why, this is now cheaper
Comment from : @BeatemupMaster

would that Anker be of use with a 2009 iMac ?brI see those HDMI ports on the Anker and I wonder if I can transfer programs that I have recorded from my cable TV onto my DVR, and now transfer them to my computer and make a CD or DVD with my iMac
Comment from : @crabapple6775

Nice imac from 2001
Comment from : @LoisMusitano

I think your videos are great, full of good information since I am shopping for a used imac but you are turning into a drama queen
Comment from : @sonnygrant374

Great video thanks Yes, the older iMacs are stille great I am running a 2013 27" i7 iMac with EXTERNAL SSD drive And it runs great But I will replace it with a 2017 model, since this can run OS Ventura or an 2019 that can run Sonoma I work with Fusion 360 and my 2013 cant run this anymore but boy The old iMac is still a killer Thanks mate for a great video
Comment from : @hfranke07

M1 iMac design is really a thing… you cannot beat the beauty of the earlier models
Comment from : @jameslemode

I certainly would go for the M1 as well since I do not have the no-how or even the desire to rebuild one And I may well get a refurbished one too, but when I do get one, it will be from Apple of course I did buy my 2020 MacBook Air from Amazon and did very well, but it was new With a good screen, you really don't notice the size of the screen at all I go from the 133" screen to a 16" screen all the time and I don't notice the change With the 24" iMac, I will probably notice the size but that will come in time Apple products are quite good no matter when you decide to buy them And they are always available for you
Comment from : @maryajaniak2896

I would buy 21,5 inch, suits my table and I like look of it
Comment from : @alexd9800

I loved my 27" iMac so much for so many years The iMac screens need to be 27" or larger For Mac to go backwards to 24" as the largest iMac was just heartbreaking for me That's when I said that I was done with the iMacs I hope that they will come out with the iMac 27" or larger in the future
Comment from : @ASmith-hb4ed

Just got a kinda maxed out 215 iMac from late 2013, for 99$ lol - can't wait!
Comment from : @basically_chris

I will continue to snap up intel macs for the mean time while Apple kind of sorts themselves out Apple Silicon is great, sure, but I am a linux user on just about every machine I own I have been grabbing cheap apple laptops and decommissioned desktops for the purpose of using Linux on them and it's been great I have two Apple Silicon Laptops, the M1 and M2 base models, and I got an M1 Mini for the MIssus to play World of Warcraft on I maintain that the M2 is underwhelming and the lack of functional linux for Apple Silicon points me back to Intel based Macs I suppose it's all about use case The "Supe'd up Intel iMac" would be wicked if you could do something about the GPU There's still some gamer in me, so having a capable GPU is a want, but not absolute need I guess, if you've built up a streaming rig with a strong GPU I digress
Comment from : @jasonhughes1526

Anyone other than Apple fanboys got sick and tired of Apple pushing form over function! I own a 27" 2017 Retina iMac that I bought refurbished (with pci nvme SSD, and upgraded ram to 40 gig (for $35)) and will never buy another Apple product as they continue the drive towards planned obsolescence If the guys at over Core legacy patcher can give older macs a new lease on life (running Sonoma on mine right now), so could Apple, since owners of older Apple don't need support from Apple anyway Instead, Apple does all they can to prevent older imacs from running newer operating systems

1k is not cheap 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Comment from : @dillkilltv3942

I just paid equivalent of $512 USD including tax, after promotions, for a brand new M2 Mac Mini from Apple brbrI spent another $100, and bought a Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard (with numpad, no Touch ID) from Facebook marketplace for a great deal They’re in perfect condition and I will probably make money on them if I need to sell them in the near future And I literally found 2, fully functional 1080p Monitors in my buildings recycling area A quick cleaning, and digging for some cables and they work greatbrbrI sold my old MacBook Air to buy the new Mini, so it literally cost me $2 out of pocket for a brand new machine The accessories will probably end up costing me nothing The MacBook Air I sold was in fantastic condition, and a very capable laptop, I’m sure it will serve its new owner wellbrbrMac computers are amazing, and will last for over 10 years, no headaches, if treated well My new mini is about 5x as powerful as my old Intel MacBook Air, and runs average 60-70 degrees C cooler, even if I push it harder!brbrThis iMac, in my opinion, is not a good a dealbrbrI’d get a mini, an Air, or make the investment in a MacBook Pro Macs are worth it
Comment from : @sshah2545

I'd rather have a macbook hooked up to a larger 4k monitor I don't really get the point of an imac at all at this point, other than offices, schools, etc

Comment from : @dreamsun69

So you're telling me the base iMac sells for the same price as a MacBook Air, and the only difference is a bigger screen and being attached to a wall? No, I would certainly not buy that over a MacBook
