OLD iMAC REPLACEMENT
I own a 2014 iMac with a 27-inch screen, Intel i7 processor, 32GB of memory and 4TB Fusion Drive. I also have two 24-inch monitors sitting either side. This is my difficulty: what do I do with the iMac now?
It still works as it did when I bought it. I appreciate having that large screen as my main workspace and surely it will continue to function for a long while yet. But it is too old for updates now. I like the new iMacs but would miss my bigger screen. And they will only run one monitor. What should I do?

You have a couple of options: the first is to go for a Mac that supports multiple external displays, such as a 14in or 16in MacBook Pro equipped with an M1 Pro chip, which can support up to two external monitors at 6K; the second is to wait and see what Apple launches over the next few weeks and months. M2 Pro and M2 Max-equipped Macs are bound to appear soon and the likelihood is that these will support multiple external displays. Or, you can wait for the next iMac update, which is rumoured to include either an M2 or M3 chip. iMac Pro rumours continue to circulate too, though there is no time frame for that as yet.
