  • Scary news for Mac?

    From Alan Browne@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 24 20:08:07 2023
    Apple event sched. for Oct 30 at 17:00 (Pacific).

    - the announcement shows a "Finder" icon in white on black (stylized
    from the Apple logo...)

    - Speculation is at least an M3 iMac 24", possibly higher spec.

    .. possibly in laptops too ...

    Rumours say an internally-updated 24" iMac with a new stand design
    (probably the way it connects inside the case), but looks the same as
    the current model and has the same colours.

    A 32" iMac is rumouredly due in late 2024.

    If you want any other size display with a desktop Mac, you'll have to
    get a Mac mini or Mac Studio and a separate screen.

    I have a 27" as my main display and find I "use" the left 2/3 mostly, so
    24" would not be an issue. Further I would use my Samsung 27" as a
    "side" and possibly another 24" as a "side". Lopsided setup I guess.

    To be seen.

    Others believe the iMac might only get an M2 update. It would have to
    be a high end M2 at reasonable price for me to go that route.

    .. or early 2025 ..


    If you want any other size display with a desktop Mac, you'll have to
    get a Mac mini or Mac Studio and a separate screen.

    That would entail waiting for those machines to catch up to the M3.

    I now, I've gone that route before with a Pro, but I found it besides
    expensive too much hassle.
