Product Information

Certainly, Apple knows that there are people who want larger-screened desktops. But one argument it could make is that this is already available, in the form of either a Mac mini or Mac Studio with either a 27-inch Studio Display or 32-inch Pro Display XDR.

Speaking as a graphic design teacher, I like having the computer and screen in an all-in-one form. My classroom uses 27In Macs from 2017. I really want to upgrade to silicon.” So my money’s on a >27-inch iMac Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations, and we are focused on our Apple 2030 goal to make every product carbon neutral.Need both processing power and a high-spec monitor for accurate color work? Again, no issue: the Mac Studio of your choice paired to a Pro Display XDR. The iMac just gained an M3 chip, but we don’t expect to see huge discounts on that model. There are however savings to be had on the older M1 model that’s just been discontinued by Apple.

We begin our macOS graphics testing with the cross-platform 3DMark Wildlife Extreme running in Unlimited mode (higher scores are better). With nine more GPU cores, the dominance of the Mac mini's M2 Pro was scarcely surprising. Carbon reductions are calculated against a baseline scenario: 1) No use of clean electricity for manufacturing or product use, beyond what is already available on the grid (based on regional emissions factors). 2) Apple’s carbon intensity of key materials as of 2015 (our baseline year for our 2030 product carbon neutrality goal). Carbon intensity of materials reflects use of recycled content and production technology. 3) Apple’s average mix of transportation modes (air, rail, ocean, ground) by product line across three years (fiscal years 2017 to 2019) to best capture the baseline transportation emissions of our products. We continue with Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4.1 Pro, which simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning, and our real-world CPU challenge HandBrake 1.4, which converts a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better). Again, the new iMac ran circles around the old, while the Core i9 Yoga topped it without breaking a sweat—indeed, almost beating the powerful Mac mini's HandBrake time. The big question left unanswered, of course, is was Apple talking specifically about a 27-inch model, or about any larger-screened iMac?The company’s comments around the new M3-powered 24-inch iMac don’t really help. As we noted prior to Apple’s disclosure, hardware engineering lead John Ternus strongly hinted that this was intended as a replacement for both 21.5-inch and 27-inch models. We estimate emissions savings from supplier clean electricity by allocating to our carbon model clean electricity generated by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. So, my choices here are all suboptimal: a. Downgrade to a smaller display or b. use separate monitor and base unit, for me a downgrade”
