Apple iMac 24-inch (2021) review: the world's coolest desktop

 

The new iMac 24-inch is a great-looking machine with a fantastic screen and lots of power… but some limitations, too

Fantastic better-than-4K screen ; Beautiful design and colours ; Extremely fast

Cheapest version is missing some features ; Only USB Type-C ports ; GPU and maximum RAM may be limiting

The iMac 24-inch is a great home or work machine, and has the power and screen for some pro work as well. But lower-price machine doesn't offer quite the full experience, and it's awkward for ports.

Apple iMac 24-inch (2021) review: Hello again

 

Completely redesigned for the Apple Silicon era, Apple's new M1 iMac looks different. It's also a super performer.

Striking redesign ; Powerful Apple M1 processor ; Touch ID keyboard ; Punchy 24-inch display

Non-adjustable stand ; No discrete graphics option ; No touchscreen ; Limited colours for base model

Apple has really pulled it out of the bag with this striking redesign of its venerable all-in-one, which performs at the high level we've come to expect from an M1-based Mac.

iMac 2021 (M1) review

 

Apple's latest iMac introduces a much-needed redesign with various colours to choose from along with solid specs revolving around a 4.5K Retina display and M1 chip

Stunning design ; Excellent screen ; Solid specs ; Smooth performance

Overly complex SKUs ; No USB-A ; Moves too easily

The latest iMac is a captivating machine that combines stunning design with excellent specs and only minor quibbles. It's a great all-rounder all-in-one with unnecessarily complicated model options.

Apple iMac 24in (2021) review

 

Apple's iMac finally gets a revamp – inside and out – with bold new colours and an M1 chip

Wonderful visual overhaul ; M1 chip is blazing fast ; Touch ID on the keyboard ; Excellent display and speakers

No Centre Stage or Face ID ; Entry-level unit missing some features ; Can’t adjust screen vertically ; Game performance not amazing

A worthy update that marries the best of iMac’s past and present – and that even managed to eradicate our cynicism.

24in iMac (2021) review: power and performance for home use

 

The new colourful 24in iMac is bigger, brighter and better, but is it the right Mac for you?

Excellent screen ; Improved FaceTime camera ; Surprisingly good sound

The price seems high compared to other M1 Macs

The 24in iMac is a colourful computer ideal for home use and as such it is difficult to find something to complain about. The screen is excellent, the sound exceeds expectations and performance is more than adequate. But, with the same specs on offer...

Apple 24-inch M1 iMac review: Much more than just a colourful Mac

 

The colours pay tribute the very first iMac, but is this new 24-inch model just as revolutionary?

Eye-catching design ; Gorgeous 4.5K Retina display ; Impressive sound system ; Improved webcam and mic ; Excellent performance ; Colour-matching accessories ; Support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB4

"Chin" design is divisive ; Only USB-C ports ; Ports are hard to reach ; Display cannot be used with other sources

Apple iMac (24-inch) M1 review: Seeing is believing

 

Reinvented as the iMac for a new generation. It has to be seen in person to truly appreciate its design.

Eye-popping screen ; Speakers sound amazing ; Webcam is excellent ; M1 performance still surprises ; Lots of fun color options ; Touch ID built into keyboard

Lame port selection ; The Magic Mouse is still annoying
