Hello folks, I'm currently torn between buying the already released M1 Mac Mini or wait for the new redesigned iMac 24inch w/ M1X chip.
My use case - I'm a student and I generally use my current MacBook Pro for reading PDF assignments/books and watch online videos in VLC/YouTube and make notes. I don't play any games at all, nor I do any video editing or photo editing. I just basically use these apps as of now - Safari, VLC, Preview and that's 99% of my workflow includes, but maybe in future I'll do some light photo/video editing and iOS development down the line.
Coming to Hardware - I don't have any monitor to begin with (will buy LG 2K 27" monitor). I just have a Logitech K380 Keyboard and a cheap Bluetooth mouse (though I will buy Magic Trackpad 2 later) and also coming to speakers I have HomePod and that's it. I don't need a webcam as of now.
So, should I wait for the new iMac (considering I lack most of the Hardware) or go buy the M1 Mac Mini now?
The Only compelling reason for me to wait for a new iMac 24 inches is because iMac is all-in-one bundle and looks aesthetically pleasing and have its own minimalistic aura in the room.
Thank you for reading this.
