Its 1080p webcam does a much better job with color and brightness than older iMac webcams-it’s as good as or better than most of our standalone webcam picks. Its 24-inch screen is bright, colorful, and detailed. The new iMac gets most of the other important stuff right, too.
The M1 is great for web browsing and office or school work, and although it isn’t the first thing I’d recommend for professional photo or video editing or coding, it is good enough to handle those kinds of tasks. It’s even better when you compare it with slower or older Intel processors, such as the ones Apple has sold (and continues to sell) in the old 21-inch iMac that this iMac model effectively replaces.

When we tested the Apple M1 in the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro last year, it allowed those laptops to keep pace with some of the best Intel Macs that Apple sells despite using just a fraction of the electricity. But like all of the new Apple Silicon Macs so far, the 24-inch iMac uses the Apple M1 processor, and that chip is a great performer that will handle just about anything you throw at it. If the iMac came in pretty colors but was miserable to use, we wouldn’t recommend it. This does make things look a bit mismatched, but regardless, the effect is striking. At the moment, this iMac’s white-and-purple front and back look nothing like the predominantly black equipment I already have on my desk. There’s also something to be said for a computer that doesn’t look like anything else you can buy. It may not be the healthiest or most sensible way to approach a major electronics purchase, but it’s just how I feel my brain responding to a cute purple computer. The extra thought you put into buying it translates into additional emotional investment. It makes a statement.Ĭhoosing from a bunch of different color options is a simple way to make an impersonal slab of metal seem more personal-you picked your gadget’s color from an array of options, you did it for a reason, and other people can see that you did it. Even macOS is customized, with wallpapers and screensavers and a special accent color that are all the same color as your computer. The keyboard, wireless mouse, trackpad, and cables in the box are all color-matched, too. And the color you pick is obvious from the moment you open the box-its handle is color-matched. Just like the iPhone 12 and iPad Air 4, the new iMac comes in a total of seven colors, including the traditional silver and two-tone blue, plus green, red, yellow, orange, and purple options. After dedicating a decade or so to silver, black, and gold, in the past couple of years Apple has rediscovered the other parts of the visible light spectrum.
