  I don't understand why someone would buy this. It's $1700 for the same computer as a $900 Mac mini. The antiquated 24" monitor, keyboard, and mouse are not worth the extra $800. You can buy a very nice 32" monitor and better input devices for less than that.

  I wish they would make big displays again. Like 32” big 6K.24” or even 27” feels like such a downgrade.Also please make the iMacs usable as external monitors agains. Would buy one as a “livingroom computer” instantly if it was also possible to occasionally use it as a docking station for an air..

  We're getting close to local AI being really useful. Before the M1 is dead we might have already seen a huge shift. In my mind, there are two types of macs: those that have the bandwidth to run local models (Max & Ultra) and those that don't (Base & Pro chips).The generation doesn't mater as much to me as the memory bandwidth. When that day comes, I'd rather have a M1 Max 64GB over a M5 Pro 64GB.

  I'll wait for the M7 iMac with OLED and then never buy it

  The panel is incredibly thin, but the base is a few inches, and the amount of space it will take up due to tilting the display is also a couple of inches. After a certain point, thinness is a meaningless aesthetic choice that serves no function whatsoever.

  I wish they would just upgrade the screen size, 24-inch is just too small. My wife is using an old iMac, but we will not buy a new one with this screen size. I don't understand why are there no options to upgrade that. (Although it would probably cost so much it wouldn't worth it at that point)

  Still 24 inch screen in 2026. You can get a 27 inch panel for far less than a stick of ram these days. Why not give us a decent sized screen!

  Waited for it so long but.... still no memory option for more than 32GB. It would be nice to have some kind of a pro model.

  I wish they built an iMac Mini with a square display while being bigger than the HomeView. It's a niche category but a nod to the Macintosh Classic.

  Lowest spec config costs £1529 vs £899 for the equivalent Mac mini, but the mini gives you Ethernet and 2 cores. Highest spec goes up to £3099 vs £2299 for a matching mini.£700/£800 buys you a 24" display (with an unspecified refresh rate, so presumably 60Hz), a keyboard, and a mouse. I loved my 27" iMac to pieces, but it's really hard to justify buying this thing today.

  It's like a 24" MacBook Pro with no keyboard and less portable?If it were back to 27" and hidpi screen again it might make sense

  I wonder why the iMac still has that chin design and small panel. They’ve been producing displays for long enough that the iMac and Studio Display should have the same form factor.

  Why can't we buy the colored magic keyboard as standalone product?I would love to have a pink one for my MBP!

  I wish they would put these colors on laptops.

  They are _still_ featuring magic mouse on the promo photos for the iMachttps://www.apple.com/shop/product/mxk53am/a/magic-mouse-usb...

  24" only! Why not offer 27" iMac that Apple used to make before?

  The colours are a nice touch though I wish they’d bring back a little more whimsy into the designs. These things are obviously more display piece than workhorses now with all that flamboyant colouring, so go all out? Maybe give it a larger border radius, or made the rear end rounder. Oh heck, make the entire screen round even! Bring back the puck mouse and make a puck keyboard!

  Looks like they it still comes with a "magic mouse", of course the only thing "magic" about it is having a worse sensor than a $5 Logitech.

  Available at 1829 euros for the basic configuration, nah.

  Waiting for 512 GB Mac Studio M5 Ultra still. I guess they are rolling things out now, it has been expected for late October.
• pauljonas
  24" and not 27" monitor?Would have bought one otherwise.
• jmull
  I love these things. Never going to buy one. But I love what they are doing with them.

  The iMac continues to be an aesthetically pleasing machine I sorely want for my space, yet one I cannot justify because of its anemic innards relative to my desired use cases.It’s just a really good looking computer, especially with the accessories. Give me one with an M6 Pro and a 128GB memory cap, and they can take my money as I move my homelab and AI compute onto it.

  The title text animation is really cute, props to whoever made this!

  The problem with getting a new Mac is then you're stuck with macOS 27 with Liquid Glass.

  Do people still actually buy iMacs?

  The maximum of 32 GB RAM has to be a joke. My Linux laptop has more RAM, more SSD, more CPU at the same price, and it can run games on top of that. Hard pass, even if I were to tolerate the OS.
• etchalon
  I want one and I don't know what I'd do with it

  That motherfucking display sill runs at only 60hz?!??

  I still think those expensive Apple monitors (which even had RAM) were intended to be 'iMac Pros,' but due to stagnant growth in the all-in-one market, they never saw the light of day.
