It's more customizable because you can purchase it with significantly more storage and RAM configurations. Is there any reason to buy the 2020 Intel iMac over the 2021 M1 iMac?Īctually yes! Last year's 27-inch iMac has a few key advantages. On the flips side, the 27-inch iMac looks basically like every other iMac for the last eight years. The M1 iMac has a new thin and lightweight design that's about half the volume of the previous iMacs. Whether you're browsing the web, touching up images in Photoshop or streaming shows on Apple TV+ - the new M1 iMac flies. And having used the M1 iMac myself, I believe it. Apple claims that the M1 iMac has improved CPU performance up to 85 percent compared to the previous Intel-based Mac. There are two major differences when comparing the new M1 iMac with the previous 27-inch iMac, which Apple released in the summer of 2020 (less than a year ago). Do Apple's HomePods Support Lossless Audio? How does the M1 iMac compare to the previous iMac?
