Should I choose the 24-inch iMac over the 27-inch model?

Question

For general use, is the 24 inch iMac superior to the previous 27 inch model?

Answer 1

If you simply wish to do some general work, then the 24 inch iMac can make a better case for itself due to its new visuals, efficiency with the M1 chip, upgrades in SSD and internet usage, and much more. There is also a more moderate pricing along with a good quality screen of about 4.5K. On the other hand, should you need more complex operations, perhaps enhanced graphics or CPU are of concern, then the 27 inch model still can be considered or wait for the anticipated larger M1X iMacs which are said to perform even better.

Could you please make content of connecting two external monitors with this iMac 24 inch? That is my dream setup but I'm not sure if using a dock would affect the performance. Please make it as soon as possible.

Hoping someone can give their opinion on my situation: I'm struggling to decide between the 27" and the M1 24" shown in this content. I've read multiple articles, including this one, so I mostly know their pros and cons. However when it comes to the gaming aspect, all this techy speak still makes me a bit confused. Will the M1 24" at 16GB still preform well for gaming? Or would the best option to be purchase the 27" with 8GB (all that's available) and upgrade it on my own? Gaming will not be the main use of whatever one I purchase, was just looking as an option (as I am mainly a console gamer. Main purpose is basically just writing and internet browsing)

I'll take the intel iMac for hugely discounted price and install insane amount of RAMs.
