The trend of continual hardware obsolescence will last long into the future.Ī better question, though, is to ask: If I buy this Mac today, will I be able to use it for several years before it needs replacement? Here, again, the answer is: Yes. That’s been true of every computer made by every manufacturer for the last fifty years. So the first question we need to ask is: If I buy this iMac now, will it be obsolete in the future? Of course you know the answer: Absolutely yes. (All iMac images courtesy of Apple, Inc.) The smaller system is very capable, but for video editing the larger screen, combined with the ability to upgrade RAM after the fact, make the 27″ iMac a better choice. NOTE: Apple updated the 27″ iMac, but not the 21″. And the “chin” (lower silver part) of the system? That’s the best possible place to park all my yellow sticky notes. I am not losing any sleep over the fact that the bezels on both my 2017 iMac and the new 2020 iMac are an inch wide. Design is valuable, but I don’t buy a Mac because of how it looks, I buy it for what it can do. Initially, there was a big kerfuffle about these new Macs using the existing hardware design, as if the size of a computer’s bezels somehow affects its ability to process data. The question is, with the coming transition to Apple silicon, what should we do with these new systems? Last week, Apple updated both the 27″ iMac and the iMac Pro though the iMac Pro got only a minor processor update.
