you're listening to another great podcast in the my mac podcasting network and it's tech fan

podcast number 435 i'm tim robertson here in the states and over across the pond is david

cohen as usual as usual um yeah you were asking about the i Yeah. So it's a tale of two cities, if you will.

The iMac, the new one, um,

for those who are outside the know, I bought the low end cheapest iMac, Apple cells,

and upgraded it.

It, it was so painfully slow out of the box that it's criminal that Apple sells this thing. With a hard drive. With a hard drive, a standard hard drive, a spinning

disk hard drive with eight gigabytes of RAM. I've got to imagine, except for maybe like cheap gaming

laptops that have maybe a gigabyte hard drive in them, I've got to imagine, except for maybe, like, cheap gaming laptops that have maybe a

gigabyte hard drive in them, I've got to imagine that it's pretty much the only computer

on the market you can buy today with a hard drive fitted as standard. Yeah, I don't understand

why Apple even still sells it. It's insulting. Um, there's something you actually need, you're

expected to work on. I mean mean with a gaming laptop you can

kind of forgive it because people want a lot of space and normally once you've installed and run

the game the things running in kind of in memory and slow disc access probably isn't going to

bother you that much but for computer you're working on. Oh, it's so slow.

It's, it's, it's criminal.

Yeah.

It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I have to imagine that when Apple releases their new IMAX with Apple Silicon, I hate saying that.

It sounds like Apple got a boob job.

Yeah.
