is there a real limitation with this architecture or are they just making a business decision so they can sell multiple models over 2-3 years instead of creating what the market wants immediately

16GB RAM usually not a base config option but shows up in the configurator once you select one of the 2-3 base models. TBD once the store reopens.
the other M1 macbook only has 8gb possible it would be consistent for this to only have it, unfortunately edit: this is incorrect. 16gb is available, didn't realize.

#84Did I see it correctly, that the iMac only comes with 8GB Ram configurations? Doesn't the MacBooks come with an 16GB option?
Re: All-new iMac features the M1 chip
#85Does it only come in a 24" configuration? It'd be nice to upgrade from my 9 year old 27" iMac but I'd hate to have a smaller screen.

#88> "iMac comes with a new power connector that attaches magnetically and a beautifully woven 2-meter-long color-matched cable." Magsafe for a stationary computer...
Just another proprietary cable for them to sell. It is so funny the fan base just goes along with it too.

#89Is it just me, or should the front facing camera be better then 1080p by now?
Why? I think 720p is the maximum need for a front facing camera on any device. What would you want a 4K front facing camera for? Most video-conferencing wont even allow more than 480p to preserve bandwidth.
Are you asking why is it important to have a good camera for online video conferencing? Look at all the guides that teach people how to use DSLRs as their webcams.

Maybe it's a bto option. The Ethernet port seems to be gone though.
No Ethernet port on a desktop is just insane. I can see the sense in saying "your dock is Thunderbolt and Ethernet goes on the dock" for laptops, but on a dekstop?
