    Choosing a Mac for under $1400: Mac Studio vs Mac Mini vs iMac

    Hello! It’s been a really long time since I’ve asked for buying advice, but after years of trying and trying to make an iPad Pro work as my only computer, I’ve found that it no longer meets all my needs. For context, my budget is $1400, and the computers I am looking at are the: - Mac Studio...

    Glacially slow old iMac; I've run out of ideas

    I have a Late 2014 27" Retina iMac. It's semi-retired (replaced by new Macs for everyday use) but still used periodically for various tasks. Last week, without warning, it started to run unusably slowly. Rebooting didn't help; booting in Recovery and running Disk Utility didn't help (no...

    Do these cpu socket pins look good enough to run?

    These Pins are from a Late 2012 iMac. Do they look like they could work? I accidentally bent them and now I feel like they are unbent, but not sure.

    Which Macs will skip M5 and wait for M6?

    I've got a feeling the Mini and iMac will wait over 2 years for an update from M4 to M6. Which I'm fine with. Perhaps the Studio and Pro too?

    It's time to replace my trusty 21.5-inch Retina 4K 2017 iMac with an M4 mac. I use it as an everyday machine, but also edit photos and videos using it.

    Hello! I am curious to know - what peripherals would you buy to add to a M4 mac mini that would create a package that would be cheaper but just as good quality, than the 10-core M4 iMac?

    iMac M1 + M3 - USB-C accessories

    Hey, I've talked with Apple Support to get a trackpad for my green 2021 iMac and they say that I can order it with USB-C, so i think that means all the accessories you want to order for your M1/M3 iMac are now USB-C, so you don't have to upgrade for these accessories (especially as the back...
