Fusion drive not standard ; Chunky display bezel

Apple's smallest all-in-one features a great design and fantastic 4K display. Just make sure you upgrade to the Fusion Drive (at the very least) for faster boot and resume times.

Solid build quality ; Slick design ; Rechardable accessories ; Decent speakers

Jagged, 1080p display fonts ; Fusion Drive not standard ; Awkward port location ; No height adjustment
