That's a big upgrade over the 720p camera in the 21.5-inch iMac but sort of on par with the most recent 27-inch iMac. The display is quite glossy, albeit not as aggressively so as some previous iMacs, and Apple doesn't offer a matte or nanotexture configuration option.Ībove the screen is a 1080p FaceTime HD camera. The display maxes out at 500 nits of brightness, so it's not going to be blowing you away in HDR movies, but that's decent as far as office monitors go. With a 4,480 x 2,520 resolution, it matches the pixel density of the 21.5-inch iMac at 218 pixels per inch, and that's plenty. Fortunately, the display manages to impress. The iMac's keyboard comes with it, and Apple says it will work with other M1 Macs like the Mac mini if you pair the keyboard with those devices.įurther Reading “We are giddy”-interviewing Apple about its Mac silicon revolutionThe 23.5-inch display is the star of the show―without it, this is just another M1 Mac mini, basically. Also returning from past iMacs is Touch ID, which until now has only been available with Apple's laptops. The port is a very different design than in previous Macs with MagSafe, but it's more or less what you'd expect, albeit a lot more resistant to popping out than the old MagSafe.

It's a computer that Apple could easily promote with the exact same ad that it ran back in 1998 for its inspiration, the iMac G3. It's a computer that's more concerned about fitting into the room than it is about taking you somewhere else. It's a computer that promises users they won't have to think about how to configure or maintain a system.
Rather, the 24-inch iMac is first and foremost about simplicity. This chip is equally at home in an iPad and a Mac, yet the M1 delivers performance that rivals or beats some of the best desktop chips available in some cases.Įven though the M1 offers enough performance to attract power users, this new iMac isn't really for them. Inside, it has arguably the most advanced CPU currently sold in consumer devices: the M1.
