Apple M4 iMac (2024) Review

[@EntesionIsai]

I must say that this was one of the best reviews i've seen in a while.

[@kato1557]

I don't get the hate tech KZbinrs have for the Silver iMac. I got the silver M4 iMac. I love it, and that's perfectly fine everyone. Don't hate on people who get the silver iMac just like I don't hate on tech reviewers who get a blue or a green or any other color. Every consumer has their own preferences, respect it.

[@password953]

9:30 in addition to the Ethernet port, the upgraded model gets TWO MORE THUNDERBOLT 4 PORTS on the back, for a total of 4. It also gets a 2nd internal fan, and touchID standard on the keyboard’s lock button.

I'm *this close* to ordering my M4 iMac. Can't decide on which color, so I'll probably hike over to the Apple store to see them in person. I think I'm finally at peace with the smaller display, coming from my 2019 Intel 27" machine. Given that waiting for a 27" iMac appears to be futile, I'm eager to get a machine that opens apps far more quickly, hopefully boots up far more quickly, and does everything else more quickly than my current machine. I'll probably get 512 gb hard drive, but stick with the 16 gigs of ram. At 74, this may be the last Mac I ever buy and I've had 'em since they first came out.

At 77 I'm getting the silver M4 iMac to match my hair. I have been using Apple products since 1987, first Mac was a Apple IIC, several desk top Apple computers, Mac color classic (my favorite). Currently I have a late 2015 iMac it has been working fine all these years just thought it time I upgraded, like you this will probably be my last Mac. Will continue to get the latest and greatest phones, iPads, watches and AirPods until they put me in the oven

You should wait a little longer, there is a 32 inch on the horizon according to rumers.

Why is the nicer color on the back

[@HowTo-s5t]

Agreed!

[@robertrea8829]

I ordered silver. How long do you have to listen to what is wrong with me?

[@Stilicho19801]

I recall the Mini was originally intended for Windows users to easily switch to running the Mac operating system using their Windows keyboard, mouse, and other devices. I guess that never worked, and the Mini is now a desktop alternative for Mac users.

[@MarvelousLXVII]

Maybe I'm old but why not get a mac mini and a good monitor?

[@gabezillah]

I’m young, I agree with you, way better deal

[@octocubbl3z308]

@@gabezillah getting a monitor that high resolution and with that good of a ppi will usually cost more than just buying the mac. Also, comes with a nice keyboard and questionable mouse. This device is good for new computer users or those upgrading their old mac all in ones:)

[@cwchan1625]

@@octocubbl3z308 I had M1 iMac and agree with your view.

[@DanWolf-codeNerd]

​@@octocubbl3z308 for anyone who writes code, this monitor is total trash. I work with an ultra wide that spans my whole desk and I still have an additional monitor above it. You can't be productive flipping back and forth when writing unit tests, particularly when you might need to be looking at another unit test file, the original code for that, the original code for your current unit test, and the unit test you're writing. And of course nobody wants to take up precious screen real estate for chat, but sometimes you're on call for a particular issue or some things happening in production. But you still need to try to get work done. It might work for you, and the quality might be there for you, but I would gladly pay more money to have a better monitor, and I'm not even sure where I'd put the little monitor that's built in

[@sammavitae114]

I’m old too . I spend the majority of my time on media consumption so in my opinion a refurbished iPad is ideal . For computer work I bought a minisforum bare bones mini computer ( smaller than the Mac mini) I installed 32 g of RAM and 512 g of NVME. Then even though I have never done such a thing before I downloaded Linux mint and now have free software and a place to store all the family photos without any apple tax.

[@BrentSmithline]

Sorry, I am boring. I would order silver. Reason might be because my late father worked for ALCOA in Vancouver, WA (the first Vancouver, and not that B.C. place) before, and after his service to the nation in the South Pacific during WWII. Always been around the the virgin color of aluminum. I have owned a number of Apple iMac's over the years starting with the first Intel iMac running OS X/UNIX. Today I run a Apple MacBook Air M1 chip with 8‑core CPU, 7‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine, 16GB unified memory, 2TB SSD storage - $1,999.00 US 3/2020. Still cheaper than my original 1984 Apple McIntosh $2,500.00 US. Reason I went away from the all in one is that with my 27-inch 5K LG monitor on black VESA desk mount arm with a MacBook I have two screens. Also I can take my M1 Apple MacBook Air with me to Starbucks or when I travel with my son's family.

4:10 Man why you gotta attack me and my RGB 0_o haha! Solid Video, this new IMac looks cool, my roommate is really into apple so i wanted to give her some advice on what to get! But Im a hardcore PC fella. Thanks for the insight! @Mac

[@Stilicho19801]

I do not think the M4 iMac is a novelty. I think, based on your review, it might fit my need quite well.

[@davidjacobs6244]

I love my Yellow M3.

[@mavfan1]

The colors on the front are and accessories are so disappointing. The good color on the back would only face my wall, but I would still have considered it if there was a m4 pro version.

[@dgriffinjones]

Apple designers have said that the darker, vibrant color on the front bezel would be too distracting. The muted color still pops, in person.

[@jobrownsmith116]

I got the blue and I agree 100%. The blue on the back is a really nice darker blue. The front is more of a baby blue. The keyboard and mouse are more of a sliver blue. Almost got the pink but store didn't have the pink on display and was unsure of how bright the pink was. Went for the blue as I really liked the darker blue on the back, even tho it faces the wall.

[@riccia888]

those poor 2 usb slots at the back

[@ArthropodSpidey]

9:30 Disingenuously portrayed. YOUR version has 2 ports. The rest have 4. Really poor writing to not mention that the iMac is not solely limited to just 2 USB-C ports and you can get 4.

[@dgriffinjones]

I very clearly stated at the beginning that I was reviewing the base model.

[@ArthropodSpidey]

@dgriffinjones my comment wasn't about the base model. It was specifically about the ports. For new users or people new to the Mac, they won't be able to associate "2 ports" with "base model" and may erroneously assume that the iMac only comes with 2 ports. It's best and responsible to specifically mention that there is a 4-port model as well if you're going to specifically discuss the iMac in terms of ports.
