If you want to see an M1 powered Apple iMac then look no further.
Well not quite, but YouTuber Luke Miani has decided to take matters into his own hands and built the first Apple Silicon powered iMac.
Luke creates some ingenious videos around Apple products, on this occasion he decides to put a Mac mini powered with the new Apple M1 SoC chip into a 2011 27-inch iMac.
Luke says;
“I'm tired of waiting for the new 2021 iMacs with Apple Silicon processors, so I decided that I'd take matters into my own hands and make my very own Apple Silicon iMac powered by the M1 chip. And this is a real iMac, not just a monitor! It's... the iMac mini! In this video, I show you how to build a DIY iMac with Apple Silicon at home! It’s super cheap and easy!”
In the 12-minute how-to video, Luke talks through the challenges of ‘re-purposing’ the iMac into a working M1 powered iMac.
You have to hand it to Luke he gets 10 out of 10 for ingenuity.
