Yes, this brave new world of Big Sur and M1 will make your 2012 iMac seem like a 1930s MG - a vintage classic and thing of beauty, but going to struggle to keep up with a Porsche Taycan ;)
I'm a few years of replacing my 2019 MBPro, but looking forward to what's in store. I'd thought Apple was heading away from macOS and sending us in to an iOSified future - but I'm less convinced now. It's just a more unified ecosystem, especially for developers, and I'm as excited by it (nerd?!) as I was when we got our first Mac Classic SE. System 6 anyone?!
