Hi, I have a late 2015 27" iMac (16Gb ram, the dreaded 1TB fusion drive) and am really considering trading it in for the new top range 24" iMac (8GB Ram) after reading the reviews. My main use case is amateur level photo and video editing, some music production using Logic, a bit of DJing, Teams calls for work, usual browsing, emailing, watching videos etc. and using Handbrake to transcode video, etc - nothing too "pro".
I actually like the new design and colours, touch id on the keyboard, improved performance and speakers and the improved webcam appeals to me too, as well was the thought that Apple will soon deem my existing iMac to be obsolete. I already have an M1 Air which I absolutely love.
The only downside I can think of is the reduction in screen size (although I sometimes find the 27" screen to be a bit too big for me). I work in HE so with the trade in for my old mac (which i bought second hand), im looking at around £1100.
Im sure performance wise it will outdo my current set up, but would I be totally crazy to bite the bullet and order?
