Apple has soldered RAM and storage into macs as a way to ensure people to upgrade in the future by buying new macs. And they continue making expensive ewaste by making their standard pre-configured base models as insufficient models, ensuring people spending more money for RAM upgrades or ensuring people to upgrade sooner.

    justasmile, 31 Oct 2023Doesn't change the fact that 24gb memory availability ... moreAgain, in some markets, that is not available, period. Only the pre-configured models available. So for many people, they can only buy M3 iMac with 8GB of RAM, period.

      Why are they not providing bigger screen options in iMacs? I mean, 24" is pretty small by today's standards. Give at least a 32" option man...
      Oh and 8GB ram for €1600?...even in MacOS that's low.

        And more storage is pricey. Extra 200$ for 512GB or for 16GB of RAM. DDR4 16GB is 30$. Whats the difference?

          potato4k, 31 Oct 2023False. In many markets, consumers don't have access to... moreDoesn't change the fact that 24gb memory availability is false.

            Get yourself a M2 Mac Mini with a nice ass monitor or get yourself the 2020 iMac with M1.

            Both are cheaper options than this titan. I expect the M1 iMac to be at least 650 dollars on eBay.

                Anonymous, 31 Oct 2023Is it better to get iMac.or Mac Mini?Mac mini for sure. It's so cheap and you can buy yourself a very nice monitor from the money you've saved. If you already have a display you can buy over two Mac minis for the price of an iMac so when you when you upgrade in a few years you've still spend less than if you bought the iMac while having a faster PC. Plus if something breaks only that device needs to be replaced not the whole system like on the iMac.

Thing only work nicely as long as you stay in the ecosystem. As soon as you start using stuff like Photoshop or even Chrome, you will notice things not working as they should.

                    Still waiting for them to fix the issue with using an external drive for storage and locate the cloud storage folder on it. Make sure you spec a large HDD if your buying one, if you want to backup your info to the cloud.

                      It's €500 of hardware sold at €1500 base price, and quickly increases over €2000 for small additions.

                      It will be difficult to motivate to buy these.

                        Even editing and rendering a simple 4k video would require more for a stutter-free experience, also, these iMacs are meant to be used for years, and having more RAM makes it futureproof while also giving you headroom in case you want to do something more taxing

They only have access to the pre-configured models. Meaning their options are only those base models all with only 8GB of RAM.
