Excellent screen ; Striking new design ; Fantastic webcam ; Very good performance

Lack of ports remains ; Charging the mouse is still awkward ; Mac mini may offer better value for some

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.

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.

Excellent all-round computing performance with Apple Silicon ; High quality display ; Quiet operation

16GB ram limit ; Just two USB-C ports on entry-level configuration ; Only supports a single external display

Excellent screen ; Improved FaceTime camera ; Surprisingly good sound
