The Apple iMac 24-inch is a favorite of mine.
Its powerful, compact, stylish, bright and gives you everything you need from it.
The iMac is a great choice for many people because of the webcam.

Now the web camera has 1080 resolution.
I like the iMac because of the screen.
Every time I use a Macbook, I start to like the iMac even more.
So lets look at the features in more detail.
I also noticed some shortcomings related to accessories.
Why did I choose an iMac?
Display and design
Theres a lot to be said about the iMacs display.
When I turned on the iMac for the first couple of weeks, I enjoyed the 4.5K resolution quality.
Every time I use the Macbook, I notice a difference.
And thats whats really cool.
Retina displays with a new low-reflective coating.
218 pixels per inch and True tone support.
500 nits of brightness.
Brightness is really cool, and viewing angles are maximized.
The processor, cooling, everything, and even the speakers are built into the bottom frame.
But its also very minimalistic.
The iMac is the same thickness as the iPhone 2G.
There is a cable to the back Apple logo, and it serves as a Bluetooth Wi-Fi antenna.
On the back, there are ports and the power button.
It weighs about 9.9 lbs; for comparison, the 27-inch Mac with Retina 5k display weighed 19 lbs.
Many people choose the iMac because of the variety of colors.
Its cool to have a green or orange iMac at home.
The more common colors are blue and gray.
And even the Finder is the same color as the iMac.
All folder names on the left side will be brightly colored iMac.
Processor
Along with the M1, the iMac has a new cooling system.
It has two small ventilators that replace the large thermal system of the previous generation.
And Ive never heard them working.
So the Mac is completely silent.
The M1 can be considered comparable in performance to the Intel Core 11.
Some compare the M1 to discrete video cards such as the GTX 1050ti.
There are 3 microphones built into the iMac.
In addition, the sound in iMac 24 is amazing.
The sound is a bit better in iMac Pro, but only because the display is thicker and bigger.
But trust me, if you are just planning to buy an iMac 24-inch, its sound is great.
MacOS usability
In fact, I cant imagine being able to use Windows comfortably.
I really like how macOS and iOS interact with each other.
I can easily send any file to macOS through my iPhone.
This feature is really important when youre working for long periods.
Its like a laptop.
But the mechanism isnt flimsy, and the screen wont slide down without your input.
Compactness
The iMac takes up very little space, despite the large screen.
Buying an iMac means you dont need space for a system unit.
My desk is small; I originally bought it for my MacBook.
But the iMac doesnt take up as much space as I thought it would.
The M1 combines the processor, graphics, memory, and more on a single chip.
There are 3 variants of the iMac.
The cheapest iMac is equipped with:
This iMac costs $1,299.00.
Second option:
This iMac is $1,499.00.
Third option:
This iMac is priced at $1,699.00.
Are there any disadvantages to the iMac 24?
I really enjoy using the iMac, but there are a few disadvantages that I have noticed.
All these drawbacks do not change my opinion that iMac is worth buying.
When I first unpacked the iMac and started working, I automatically put my AirPods case on the stand.
After that, I realized how muchI couldnt get enough of the built-in charging in the iMac stand.
Charging my iPhone or AirPods while working would have been very convenient.
The second drawback critical to me is thelightning port at the bottom of the Magic Mouse.
I have had many situations where the mouse has run out of power while working.
I had to look for my Logitech Pebble.
It would be much more convenient if the port were on the side.
And then I wouldnt have to stop working.
I also dont like that theMagic Keyboard with Touch ID is only in the more expensive packages.
The iMac has an externalpower supplyinstead of a built-in one.
And for some reason, the wires in the power supply are different.
On one side, the wire is cloth wrapped, looks nice, and fits the Mac.
Its also the same color as the iMac.
But the other part of the wire looks poor quality, made of rubber material.
From the outside, it looks like it is unfinished.
Many people dont like that there isno black iMac.
I like the colorful ones, so it is not a disadvantage for me.
To me, its even better.
And obviously, the main disadvantage of the iMac is gaming.
If you need a computer to play games, the iMac is not what you need.
All in all, I love the iMac.
What Mac should you buy with the M1?
So lets compare the iMac 24, MacBook Air, and Mac mini.
Which Mac is more powerful?
There can be either 7 or 8 of them.
So its worth comparing on other specs too.
iMac 24
We already talked about iMac, and you know its my favorite.
And it is quite understandable because they are similar in power.
The MacBook Air is for those who want portability.
Its the best option for most buyers.
it’s possible for you to take it with you and not be tied to your desk.
And by the way, its quiet because there are no coolers.
I wrote above that iMac is for this, too.
The cost of the Mac mini is around $900.
So, the Mac mini was not for me.
I have a Macbook and an iMac.
I like to work using iMac, only because of the screen.
The quality is great, and much larger than the Macbook.
Mac features I use daily
MacOS actually has a lot of different features and capabilities.
I would like to highlight a few of my favorite macOS features.
Just key in the desired expression into the search box using spaces.
you might press Command and move icons around as you like.
To remove an unwanted icon, just drag it down to the desktop area.
To kick off the emoji panel on Mac, pressControl+Command+Space.
