You never will. Apple M is a full SOC. Ram isn't soldered onto the mobo, it's part of the CPU.

Ah drat. Well guess I have to reevaluate my “new iMac” budget. Been waiting on this announcement for a while.

Can I ask a basic question: why should I get Apple TV if I have a smart tv? Is it a better UI plus better privacy? I have a fairly cheap smart tv and my biggest annoyance is the bright white UI.

It'll actually be supported for more than a couple years after purchase.

She's great though. She's smart as hell, and considering her nike's I'm guessing the overalls are closer to $1200.

With the talk of features they've had for quite a few years, it really feels like this sell is to people who don't have a home computer anymore rather than people who are looking to upgrade.

privacy, faster, integrates with your other apple stuff, apps are updated more often

airplay is pretty great to get video onto the TV from pretty much any app, as long as you're already in on the iphone/ipad whatever

Better ties into the Apple ecosystem is the main reason for me, if you already have a decent smart tv with the Apple TV app I probably wouldn't get an ATV.

gently caress yeah TouchID on the iMac.

Will the keyboard work with other M1 macs, like a MBP when it's closed and you wanna do TouchID?

Looks like they’re only upgrading the base model, like they did with the MacBooks. Probably still sell the higher end Intel models until new Apple Silicon comes out.
