Maybe not as slow as a old dog lol.
But v a 14“ Pro 16/1TB that I tried it was.
Am thinking of selling it off and getting a 16” 16/512 MacBook Pro. My iMac is the 8/512gb.
Anyone else done that?

Hello,

Well I also have a 24" iMac (8/256) as well as the new MacBook Pro (16/512).
While I would not say that the iMac is "a slow old dog", it is clear that it looks slower once you've tried the new MacBook Pro. So much so that I prefer using the MacBook Pro rather than the iMac!

Do you have the 16”? I only compared the 14” so the 16” would be even faster?

The pro motion makes a huge difference too imo.

Honestly, I did not try the 14-inch model so I could not tell you! I can only confirm that the 16-inch model is indeed much faster than the iMac 24".

Did you keep your iMac too?

Absolutely not. Of course the 14" or 16" McBook Pro would be faster, but the iMac M1 is in no way "slow".
