Apple iMac 24 M1 a Portable Desktop Review

Apple recently launched its new iMac called Apple iMac M1. M1 is unlike any iMac you have ever seen before. MacBook Pro and MacBook Air was the first machine powered by M1 chip. They were faster and longer battery life. They were better than any other MacBooks at that time.

M1 is now everywhere in Pro, Air, Mini, and even iPad Pro. We are now seeing it on the all-in-one desktop form factor. It is the new 24-inch iMac.

Display

It has a 4.5k 23.5-inch retina display. It just looks fantastic. It covers the full DCI p3, which means it can display over a billion colors. It is one of the displays which makes high-resolution photos look three-dimensional. It has high 500 nits of brightness. Many gaming laptops and the iMac screen can make anything pop.

The video looks great too. The iMac M1 does not technically support HDR, but it has a really deep color balance.

Color and Design

There are seven different color options. Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Silver, and Red. Each of these has a front and a back color, and both are different. It feels a lot more natural and interesting.

Apple had gone through and made every single angle and curve match. You will also get the same feeling for a slightly tweaked new magic trackpad and keyboard. The power cable is also in the same color. You can adjust your icon color to match your iMac color. It is very thin so it can fit anywhere. It is 11.5 mm thin on the monitor, which is just four mm more than iPhone 12. It is almost thinner than most of the monitors you have seen.

Performance

You can thank Apple’s M1 processor for its new redesign. That chip allows the MacBook air to basically be a portable powerhouse. It is far more efficient than Intel’s chip designs. You will not need complex cooling and all the compromises you used to have before.

The RV unit has an eight-core GPU. It makes everything super responsive. You will love the way it instantly wakes up from sleep when you put your finger down on the Touch ID button. It boots straight into the mac desktop from a cold boot in 25 seconds. You will not see this speed in any other intel mac computer.

It has no trouble running any games.

Speakers

Apple iMac M1 also has a nice and decent sound system. It has six speakers. Eight-core iMac did a great job of playing the soundtrack. It is very heavy as well. There is a lot of low end on the speakers. For a really thin computer, it is pretty solid. You can have a nice session on this computer. It is loud enough to fill a small room without having any issues.

There is also a Dolby Surround sound support. It simulates surround sound. You will feel like there are speakers right behind you for precise times.

Webcam

The webcam is not visible at first glance in iMac M1. Apple managed to squeeze in a 1080p webcam into the iMac. This is the highest resolution camera you have ever seen on a Mac. It is better than other cameras you have seen before. However, it does not match the quality, but it is pretty good. It is a very nice upgrade.

Price

Apple iMac M1 has three different price ranges. It starts at $1299 for 8GB memory and 256 GB of storage and goes up to $1699 for 16 GB of memory and 512 GB of storage. You can choose between 256 or 512 storage options.

Conclusion

You can use it anywhere in your home. It is very light and thin. There is just a single cable that connects everything. It is a magnetic cable. There are probably several other ways you could use it.
