    holy sh… I wanted to upgrade my 2017 iMac, but this is really disappointing…

    basic M3 chip, no Max or PRO

    basic 8GB RAM and 256GB storage…

    still 24"

    wow… I need to decide between Studio with M2 PRO or MacBook PRO with M3 PRO chip

      Yeah it’s annoying they don’t do Max/Pro in what is a stationary, large, desktop system because the fucking monitor needs to be so thin. Causes this weird effect where their Mac Mini can be ordered to be more powerful.

      But I could bear that myself for my needs. What I just can’t is their 8GB, 256GB, 24" thing. I’ve seen those in person and it’s feeling cramped for someone used to even just 27", and that hard drive is so small that even if I’d go external drive for data, I’d be concerned of my OS and apps filling it up over time so much that it becomes awkward (you should always have at least around 10% free).
