Apple iMac M4 review: Our verdict on performance, usability and more

Apple has just launched the newest version of its desktop computer, the iMac, which the company describes as the world’s best all-in-one. Well, Apple’s not known for false modesty, but you can see why the iMac wins admirers.

Its design is eye-catching: a super-slim unit that’s uniformly 1.55cm from front to back, with an anodised aluminium stand holding it in place on your desk. Its giddily good looks are helped along by a choice of seven different colours. And Apple’s trademark attention to detail is evident: not only are the keyboard and mouse colour-matched to the iMac, but so are the power and charging cables. Not to mention the onscreen wallpaper and other software details: even the highlight colour for text in documents, for example, defaults to the colour of the case. The new class of 2024 has subtly updated the shades.
