Is there a big experience gap between iMac 2017 and M4 Mac mini?

  I have used iMac2017 27-inch and m1 MacBook, the gap is but not very big Unless you have a spare money that you don't feel uncomfortable to spend, or the machine is so convulsed that people want to throw it directly into the trash can, continue to use and wait

  The 20 iMacs allocated by the company are now stuck like dogs and have not been turned on for nearly a year.

  Performance is a world of difference. You can feel the difference even if you browse the web, and it is even more obvious if you open a few more tabs.

  It is not a product of the same era, the performance is too poor

  This is 7 generations behind, not to mention the gap between intel CPU and M series CPU

  The M version of iMac is really ugly, and the M4 mac mini is not far behind. It is like a lunch box. The previous mac mini was so beautiful

  The performance gap is huge, but looking at the usage scenarios of OP, the actual experience improvement should not be obvious

  If the landlord is a company front desk, the iMac experience is better...

  Browsing the web is definitely the M4 experience fault leader

  Of course, the gap is big, but it may not be felt after light use. The problem of intel's heat is not obvious on iMac. If the existing one can meet your needs, it doesn't have to be replaced.

  If you think it's smooth, the gap is not big. One problem is that it will cost tens of thousands if you change it to an equivalent 5k monitor, otherwise the gap will be really big.

  If imac can be used as a monitor, I think you can buy one

  Only surfing the Internet to be honest, except that the speed of opening the app is slightly different, and the noise of the heating fan is similar

  The performance gap should be huge. Even if you are browsing the web, it is estimated that if there is 3d content on the web page, you will obviously feel that the number of stuck frames is insufficient. The main problem when replacing macmini is whether you have a suitable screen on hand. If you already have another high-resolution screen comparable to imac, it can be replaced well. After all, you already have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. At that time, macmini can directly use the old Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Others can't directly use the wired keyboard and mouse when they buy new ones. macminim4 doesn't have a usb-A interface. To use a wired keyboard and mouse, you need to get a usb3 docking station or adapter. If you don't have a screen, you can see if Taobao has a service to change the imac screen into a monitor? After all, it's not cheap to buy another 5k screen or 4k screen, and it's hard to choose.

  There is a huge gap in upgrading the top Mac machine in the Intel era to M4, and it has all-round performance and battery life.

  There is a big gap between M4 and Apple's top-of-the-line Intel. If you are still using machines with Intel chips, M4 is definitely worth replacing.

  I have the last generation of intel mbp stuck into a dog; My m4pro will give you feedback when it arrives

  The biggest advantage of Intel's imac is that it can install win10
