The machine has been a beast, and performed well despite a few upgraded internal components (fried power supply, fusion drive recall, two failed hard drives, SSD EOL so I'm running from an external SSD as my boot drive) and it's still plugging along. But it's time to switch to Apple Silicon.
So I'm contemplating what my upgrade-path should be coming from an old Late 2012 iMac. I'm expecting that the M1X Mini may launch later this year, but upgrading from that would necessitate at least a primary-monitor replacement since I'd be losing the main iMac display. Alternately, I could wait for the larger-screen iMac which I presume may come out Q1 of next year.
I run my iMac with three screens (primary and two externals) but I'm assuming the multi-monitor issues will be addressed in the next M-chip iteration.
Anyone else coming from an older iMac and switching over to the Mini? Seems to be few downsides if I'm not bothered by the lack of it being an all-in-one device, which isn't a concern.
