For some stupid reason Apple still sells the outrageously overpriced mid 2017 base model iMac; the thing is a real embarrassment and I cannot believe you can still buy the thing... Anyway, I bought the thing and today we're going to roast it

A friend of mine recently bought this one. When he told me this, I told him: you shouldn't have done that, you absolutely shouldn't have done that. He told me yes but that was the only one my wife allowed me to buy, the absolute cheapest. His wife is the boss at home and se and her children buy what they want, but if he wants to buy something it is not allowed or after long insistence and a lot of arguments he can buy something like this. They are a middle-class family and he makes a reasonable living, and certainly has no financial difficulties. Stupid purchase this imac and he knows it, but accepts it. The wife and children are simply the boss of the house. He is too good for this world and his family knows that and benefits from him that it is no longer beautiful.

an iPhone X still has good performance in 2021. You can't go wrong with the fastest mobile chip (of 2017) and best optimised mobile operating system (of 2021). Also keep in mind that we have almost reached the peak in smartphone technology, the only thing left is to change the form factor (foldables), so you could rock an iPhone X well into the middle of this decade and you won't really feel the need for performance.

Imagine this...about 3 months ago my ma was going to buy this same exact baseline imac for my college and freelance photography use, because it was the only thing we could remotely afford. Now, the new 24 inch m1 imac is going to arrive in my doorstep in about a week, and I am SO HAPPY I waited until it was released before making a decision, my God 😂🤦‍♂️. It would've been a stupid move if I didn't lmao.

So...you will unbox the shitty Mac, dunk on it, return it (without paying interest) and take the money off the YT views. Got it. All in a day's work.

@marcel9568 3 года назад

Exactly. And Apple ends up with a computer they have to refurbish, get less money for, add new packaging, make costs for handling etc. etc. So every time he does this it costs apple money. Yes it is in the return period but very well knowing in advance you will return the computer is not a fair way of working.

@johnsnow9653 3 года назад

@@marcel9568 Abuse of the return process is how you end of getting a worse return policy, which is going to happen if this purchase in bad faith nonsense continues. But hey, enjoy the clicks, I guess. Or maybe donate it to a local school and take a small hit (you will still get the 2021 business purchase deduction).

The only reason why apple is keeping this iMac around is for their nice comparision charts at the next apple Silicon iMac Reveal. They can throw numbers like 20x faster cpu and graphics performance at us. And realistically this is the only reason and really the only one😅. Marketing 😁👍 Plus it is embarassing that this thing is slower than my 2012 MBP

05:40 All Intel-based Macs come with Catalina. Apple knows, that many of the companies buying Intel Macs are not ready for Catalina. My personal guess is, that this iMac is targeted at receptions and small shops, who just need a nice looking computer at the desk. Not that I understand it, but that's their choice to buy it :) Still, fun to watch! :)

I work at an Apple Authorized Repairer and can you even IMAGINE how many ppl came to us and complained about how or rather WHY it was so slow?! All we could tell them every time is that there was nothing broken with the computer and it was just a fucking slow piece of garbage because of the garbage 1TB 5400RPM HDD that is an absolute disgrace to be in any modern computer sold in 2020. We recommended them an upgrade with a 1TB SSD and thats it.
