The new 27" iMacs have been in relatively low stock as well online and from resellers.
The features there + uncertain concerns about Apple Silicon for iMacs pushed me to get one and I've been very happy with it.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoI used to have one years ago and it was a real joy to use. They’re pretty incredible machines. Unfortunately I’m not much of a desktop person... although oddly, I’d like to be. I find it hard to give up portability for my main machine though. I’ve sat and ogled the newer iMacs for sure though, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the line goes.
- mgkimsal 6y agoSimilar here, but... considering new iMac in next few months, because the covid stuff has meant... I'm not nearly as mobile as I used to be. 2019 MBP will keep me going for mobility needs in the next couple years, but a desktop will give me somewhat better processing speeds for some tasks (some video, some data crunching).
- vondur 6y agoThere is a 4-5 week order time for custom iMacs at the moment.
- minimaxir 6y agoIn the case of the 27" iMac, it's weird. When I BTO the highest-end SKU (https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac/27-inch-3.8ghz-8-core-processor-with-turbo-boost-up-to-5.0ghz-512gb# https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac/27-inch-3.8ghz-8-cor...) w/ the 5700XT GPU (a recommended upgrade), the order time actually decreases by 10 days.
- vondur 6y agoThis was a 27" iMac, but not the high end model like yours. Wonder what parts are causing the delays?
- mycall 6y agoCan the iMacs be used as an external monitor for other computers?
- acomjean 6y agoNo. That used to be a thing but it has been discontinued. 1014 iMacs were the last to support target display mode: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592
