Let’s put them up against each other and see how they do with programs like DaVinci Resolve. This comparison uses a base iMac while the Mac Pro is the base 8-core with 160GB RAM, 24GB GPU between two graphics card, and a 256GB SSD for OS and some NVMe SSDs for editing. It’s definitely a fun, everyday style with lots of colors and decisions like having a white bezel. If we want to talk about design, this is the first major revamp of the iMac in a long time. Specifically, we are talking about a $10,000 Mac Pro while the M1 iMac comes in multiple times lower than that. Looking at it as a filmmaker, Michael Tobin got to go hands on with the new M1 iMac and even pitted it up against the more traditional Mac Pro.

Anyway, if you have been waiting for an all-in-one to come with Apple Silicon, we finally have a new M1 iMac to work with. I have an M1 Mac mini myself and I would personally add that I am impressed with performance for video and photo editing. And all the reviews point to it being really good. Apple is just putting the M1 chip in everything these days.
