Apple iMac M4 (2024) review: still beauty, but now more of a beast

Another year another round of Apple processor upgrades, and it’s the turn of one of Apple’s most iconic products – the iMac – to get the M4 treatment. The iMac has had a bit of an unusual run in the update cycle. After the iMac was boldly redesigned for the M1 chip, it was then skipped over for the M2 update, before being upgraded to the M3 last year – and many expected the same pattern to repeat. However, the quintessential desktop computer was included in Apple’s big October event this year alongside the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini to get the latest in-house Apple silicon.

Like in previous generations, there are still two different versions of the iMac with the base model being held back by limited ports and configutation options – I still think it's a confusing move from Apple, but the specs below might clear things up a little.
