The 24-inch 4.5 K 500-nit display and the computer are housed in the same slim 0.43-inch ( 11.5mm ) thick frame.

The new 12 -megapixel webcam is a massive leap up from past models.

There are two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the base model and four on the more expensive versions, along with a magnetic power connector.

The 24inch size may be too small for some, but it would be nice to see a 27- or even 32-inch option on future models.

The iMac M4 is a touch faster than the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 , but pokier than the 16-inch model with an M4 Pro chip.

Performance was a pleasant surprise, better than I expected on tasks ranging from video editing to gaming.

It can play 4 K HDR content and supports Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio .

With everything integrated in the display, you can install it on your desk.

When watching movies and series on Netflix and Prime Video, the iMac M4 provided a colorful, immersive viewing experience.

AI was a big selling point of the M4 Macs at its unofficial Mac Week event.
