He's praising the simplicity of the setup. I smiled. That language is normal discourse in the UK.
> Yes the new Mac mini has M1, too, but you’re going to need all the peripherals including a display. So for a few hundred quid more you get an all-in-one home computer that is as easy to get started as an iPad.
It's a way to predict the comments like "You must be stupid to buy an iMac. I personally bought a mac mini for $X, and $X is way lower than the price of that iMac, setting it up is not that hard." or something along those lines.
I know way more than enough about the tech world and work within it professionally. My biggest attraction to these iMacs is I think they might just be lightweight enough to move between multiple places depending on use.
> The new iMacs are unashamedly aimed at people already in the Apple ecosystem. Yes, they are more expensive than other one-box PCs out there, but the iMac buyer won’t care. They’ll want it to, sigh, “just work”.
