Now I am hungry for anything pertaining to an Apple Silicon powered Mac Pro, and hoping it gets a smaller chassis...!
Yeah, I also would rather have the same Apple Silicon Mac Pro insides, but a simpler xMac outside...!!!
What you are describing is Target Display Mode and you iMac does not have it. Although using screen sharing over a thunderbolt network connection could give you a best of both worlds with a windowed or full screen mac mini running on your iMac. You can use both computers at the same time using the same keyboard and mouse. You could also use something like Air Display/Duet Display or similar.
Just to make sure I understand, it's possible. I need to search out about "target display mode". Now what I want to make sure I clearly understood is I'd have a windowed or full screen mini running on my iMac (here I'm understanding what I thought may be possible that I'd have a separated Air Display/Duet Display(?) of my Mac mini while on my iMac desktop.
Thank sooo much! Haven't found any article or step-by-steps on doing this, but I'll look now with these terms. Much appreciated! God bless and stay safe (everyone).
Oh well, Homy is right and I see later that he answered again (missed it). the Apple article here says not possible for newer MACs.Just to make sure I understand, it's possible.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592Thanks! You're right. Now sad though, but I have another monitor so I may still make my next Mac an Mac mini. Appreciate the help!
Your iMac does not have target display mode built in. But it can use Screen Sharing which is part of networking. If you Screen Share via a thunderbolt cable you can get a better connection and a faster refresh. Air Display and Duet Display are paid apps that do a similar thing (but better). It would be a compromise and monitor would probably be better.Just to make sure I understand, it's possible. I need to search out about "target display mode".

Okay, worth trying the first option, but yeah, I figure I might as well use an older monitor I have for a second Mac via the mini. It's just that I wanted to see if I could have a second drive (system) with the mini on the one iMac because of space. Appreciate your feedback and explanations. That M1 chip just has me REALLY wanting to find a way to do this. Ha!
