Question regarding clarification of shared RAM on M1 Machines.
Recently I read that ram is shared between the CPU and GPU on M1 processors. Does this mean that some of my ram will be allocated to driving an external display? Wouldn’t the GPU have its own dedicated vram so that it wouldn’t cut into ram allotted to the cpu? 32GB of ram is what I currently...- davedirect

Got the new M1 iMac a few months ago, but now I can't use it
I purchased the new 24" iMac (2021) in summer, all excited of course. Unfortunately I ended up injuring my hamstring pretty badly and since I'm indefinitely unable to use a desk, it's gone totally unused (albeit opened). Obviously my return period has passed so what would/where be my best bet...- thefantastical

How has your 27" 2020 iMac worked for you?
Has your 2020 27" iMac worked well for you or has it given you trouble? Usually I'm pretty confident with apple hardware but I've had pretty bad graphics issues right out of the gate, since day one, (and before any 3rd party software or RAM was installed.) This has been the opposite experience...- davedirect
