    Why should a MacBook Pro have better M3’s than the iMac? The fact that laptops are the powerhouses of Mac’s consumer level machines is annoying af… iMacs are my favorite devices ever :(

      Even before I only remember seeing iMacs on schools.

      And I bet most schools aren’t updating their hardware so often. Students rarely take on projects you’d consider ambitious and big at schools that require powerful iMacs so it’s more of a learning tool.

        This purely market-driven approach post-Jobs is lame. It goes hand in hand with the iOSification of macOS and the general incremental nature of their product line updates

        Apple plays it safe, lets the industry innovate around it, etc. they have the best product ecosystem and if it weren’t for that and my complete lack of excitement for Windows, I’d be switching. And I still might, form factor/design innovation is what brought me to them in the first place

          it always been the design for many, their OS and hardware simply destroys the competition.

      I like iMac too. I really want the colored 24” but with HDR and 120hz. Like a “Pro” but still the regular colors and shape…not the “Pro means no color” thing.

      I’ve been waiting like 2 years for an iMac update. I guess I should have just bought the M1 but I hesitated.
