I've been using the MacBook Pro i7 13inch, 16GB RAM. I waited for the iMac 24" because my Macbook Pro has way too little RAM for the programs I use. I noticed that iMac 24" only has the 8GB and 16GB options. Is there a big difference because of the M1 chip and the normal RAM?
Thanks in advance
Hi kenzy162,
Apple Silicon Macs use unified memory. This is more efficient than normal memory. Here is what Apple says, "The M1 chip brings superfast unified memory to iMac. This single pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory allows apps to share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine efficiently — so everything you do is fast and fluid."
I say it might be worth giving the new iMac a shot. And if doesn't suit your workflow, Apple offers returns: Returns & Refunds - Shopping Help - Apple.
Cheers,
Jack
