Beautiful, looks like the days of Apple and macOS overtaking Microsoft and Windows will happen very soon It's the complete opposite of the bloat culture from Microsoft and slowness of Windows 10 https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide...
> slowness of Windows 10
Interestingly I've never had a slow experience on Windows 10 at all and I use an i7 from 2016.

It doesn't need to be but it is. What are you gonna do, bloat the case just to fit an Ethernet adapter? Also, what's wrong with it being in the charger? This is actually genius, this way only a single cable leads to the machine itself.
But you have a “charger” on a device without a battery. Power bricks are the most inelegant solution to a problem ever. Can’t think of a clever design to accommodate the features we want? shove it on a box and put it to the side. Lazy.

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.
That's not so. I'm writing from an M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB factory installed memory.
ah that's right its also the absence of a >13inch M1 machine that keeps me on the fence

Did I see it correctly, that the iMac only comes with 8GB Ram configurations? Doesn't the MacBooks come with an 16GB option?
It's ridiculous that Apple ships 8GB configurations in 2021. My company bought me a MacBook pro M1 with only 8GB of ram by mistake and it's extremely frustrating to have so little ram. I look forward to replace it with a laptop with 32GB of ram. Meanwhile I run devops stuff in the cloud because the laptop has not enough ram for that. Once safari advised me to close the jira tab to save ram. Such a shame.
Why the chin bar? The could have easily removed it now that there is no logo on it, and the logic board footprint is now next to nothing. Their design decisions are just plain weird. Also, why is there no black version? No network ports? No USB type A ports? Really?
I’m going to go ahead and say if you haven’t gotten onboard with USB C by now you’re behind. It’s been half a decade since the USB A port went away on Mac. I know everyone has their legacy peripherals they love but... it’s time to move on.
Having to add a flaky USB hub to your desktop just to plug in your keyboard is actually ridiculous. It makes sense on a laptop, but these desktops have _a lot_ of surface area on which they could put a few USB-A ports.
EDIT: Though, Apple removing the USB-A ports from everything might be what the industry needs to push peripherals to use USB-C for everything? If that's the case, then that might be a win for everyone, except for people who buy these new iMacs.
Too much to hope for a Dave2D review today?

M1 doesn’t really throttle.
Yes, it does or this wouldn't have done a thing https://www.sysorchestra.com/reduce-thermal-throttling-on-yo...
Is it just me, or should the front facing camera be better then 1080p by now?
I've read that quality is largely limited by optics, and optics are limited by space in the MacBook line (just a few mm). Not sure why Apple wouldn't improve it on the iMac (a few cm depth to work with!).
