this is why you are my new or going forward fave tech reviewer. Please, let me preface by saying my intention is not to rip on other reviewers. you have appeared with these other people on pods or panels. You guys are smart to stick together vs compete as the space is getting super crowded. I LOVE LOVE what you just did. you reviewed this iMac by doing something you would ACTUALLY do on it. I own a small agency and right now we are all using m1 mba and we ordered iMacs. The mba with the m1 does everything we want and more. It does graphic design, web, video editing. I do not need to know the Geekbench. Now I will say all apps I am using now are M1 native (BYE BYE ADOBE!) and they are so snappy. anyways just wanted to sa thanks and enjoy how you geek out without geeking out in a way that if the design is not Darth Vader approved you throw a hissy fit. great job!

If your imac has a hard time with imovie, resolve is a more demanding app, and if you can, you should upgrade to this, but if you are only doing 1080p editing, a 2017 or 2018 model should do which you can find in the Market for cheaper, but since they are all apple products, the price difference shouldn't be that big so long story short, the m1 is really worth it

@benjamin5370 3 жыл бұрын
