Despite what you may have heard, don't write off the iMac just yet
I was hoping for a 27" iMac with the M refresh. I waited... and I'll just wait for 5 more years. I have a perfectly serviceable 2019 27" iMac. I recently upgraded to 128 GB RAM and installed a 20 TB internal HDD.
I stand to lose a lot moving down to a 24" M series iMac... I lose the option to upgrade without plugging a bunch of wires into my machine, and the option to install more memory if my needs require it. I would have to spend $2000 more to get an Apple solution that matches my screen real estate and storage capacity. Nothing but loss in that equation.
The longer I wait for an iMac the more I get for my money. If a larger iMac never happens then I will consider my options at that point. In that ten year timeframe Apple could possibly have sold me two devices instead of 1.
I recall that recently Mac sales have plummeted. Instead of giving more they took away - bad idea for a multi-trillion dollar company. How much processing power do most consumers really need to view youtube and send email? People like big screens and storage and don't want to pay a monthly fee for unreliable iCloud storage.
