iMac 24" or MB Pro 14"
Got a tip for us? Let us know
Sep 3, 2018
I have a 27" iMac which is over ten years old and is now end of life.
I like desktops but was hopeing for a 27" M1 iMac. But nothing released yet.
I don't need a lot of power, would you buy a MB Pro 14" or an iMac 24".
Any thoughts or tips appreciated.

It depends on whether you think the mobility of a MBP would do anything for you. If you have use cases where its convenient to be able to move the computer then a laptop might be better.
If on the other hand you want a big screen and are going to be behind a desk whenever you need a computer, then the iMac is a better choice.

I've only needed to move my iMac 27" around maybe 10 times over 10 years, it's kind of portable, and the iMac 24" is very light.It depends on whether you think the mobility of a MBP would do anything for you.

Get the iMac. I've got one last month, replacing my late 2009 iMac, and it's my favorite Mac since the iMac G4. Sleek and modern looking, inaudible/very silent, more than fast enough and very nice screen.

Yes the iMac 24” is only about 4.5 kg, the packaging is heavier than the computer. Definitely easy to move around the house, but not so easy to take along while travelling.I've only needed to move my iMac 27" around maybe 10 times over 10 years, it's kind of portable, and the iMac 24" is very light.
I would advise getting the 16 GB ram upgrade though if you’re going to do anything at all intensive.
I replaced my 27" iMac with a new 24" iMac and I'm delighted with it.
I really don't notice the smaller screen size, and it's been a pleasure to use over the last nine months.
I went with 16GB memory as I do often have quite a few things running at once. But that said my father's just bought himself an M1 iMac with 8GB memory and when I set it up for him I was amazed at how well it did with just 8GB...
