The new Imac is brilliant and no regrets whatsoever.
I have been doing a lot of photo editing with PS and some of the Topaz plugins etc and no problems at all.
Even coming down from the larger Imac 27 screen has been really easy.
I would still recommend the memory upgrade mainly as a bit of future proofing. I am intending to keep this machine for a good while as it certainly suits my needs.
I could have waited until next year for the so called new 27“ imac but to be honest the 24 is all i need.
I bought myself a Caldigit TB dock so i can have any of my external HD’s hooked up to it.

I would certainly recommend the M1 24”

A shame you cant sell you MBP to MacBuyBack as the were brilliant regarding my 27”

Regards

Glad to hear you have one on order and I don’t think you will regret it.

I see you can get a code for MacBack via savoo.co.uk although not sure if they work but might be worth looking at

I sold my late (fairly high spec) 2013 Retina 13" MBP via MacBack. Apple quoted £210 trade in.

The MB had two issues - screen delamination and poor battery condition (not surprising after all that use). It was cosmetically about 99% perfect. I emailed MacBack and they said grade it without the issues and they'd deduct £40 for the green and £75 for the battery. The original quote was £369.75. After they received it, they reduced the quote to £254.75, exactly as per the email. I did have to chase payment (just over a week) but I'm very happy with them. I'm not sure I'd have got a lot more on eBay and it's far less hassle.

Glad you got a satisfactory result and as you say a lot less hassle than Ebay especially regarding fees etc.
I think most trade in places take about a week to process from start to finish and when I use MacBuyBack they said it would be five days from receiving it to payment (If accepted) and it was spot on the five days.

Do any of these companies buy Mac displays?
I have a 23 inch Cinema Display (which I loved).

It is mint in box.....only issue is a single white line across the centre of the screen.
I am wondering if this can be refurbished.

Can't bring myself to just throw it away....?

Out of interest, I just checked and the current MacBack offer for my spec MBP has plummeted to £242.25 (from £369). I guess they must have plenty in stock now. MacBuyBack quote system doesn't go back before 2014 for MBP so I can't get a comparative quote.

Yes it seems like they have a limit as to what year the model is.
It could be worth phoning them as i gave them a call before going ahead selling my Imac to them and the lady was very helpful so it might be worth asking ?
