The Retina 4.5K display on the iMac 24" offers a high-resolution viewing experience with over a billion colors and 500 nits of brightness. The P3 wide color gamut ensures vibrant, true-to-life images, and the True Tone technology adjusts the color temperature of your display to match your environment for a natural viewing experience.
The M1 chip integrates the processor, graphics, memory, and more onto a single chip, which allows for a more compact and efficient design. It provides up to 85 percent faster CPU performance and up to two times faster graphics performance compared to previous 21.5-inch iMac models. This results in a smoother, more responsive user experience, even when handling intensive workloads.
The 1080p FaceTime HD camera features a larger sensor for improved low-light performance and an advanced image signal processor that enhances every frame. The M1 chip's computational video capabilities ensure that you appear in the best light, with sophisticated noise reduction and tone mapping that adapt to any setting.
The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID allows you to easily and securely unlock your iMac, use Apple Pay, and download apps with just a finger. It also includes keys for Spotlight, Dictation, Do Not Disturb, and emoji. The keyboard is color-matched to the iMac for a cohesive, stylish look.
The iMac 24" was designed with sustainability in mind. All of the virgin wood fiber in its packaging comes exclusively from responsibly managed forests. The rare earth elements in the speakers, fan motor, and power connector magnets are completely recycled. Apple has also committed to transitioning its entire manufacturing supply chain to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030.

My new iMac has been great. It?s my first Apple Silicon machine, and everything has gone smoothly. Adorama offered the best price I could find, and had it drop-shipped quickly. No complaints!

It is fine, I should have spent a little more and gotten a bigger SSD.

Enjoying this iMac so far ? I?m stepping down from a 27? and the screen size adjustment wasn?t as tough as I thought it would be. It?s been fast enough for my needs so far (image culling & editing in PS & Lightroom), and while the 1TB hard drive is a bit of a limitation, I?ve found that working off an external drive has been working pretty well. 16GB of RAM with an M1 chip seems to be pretty fast; enough for me, at least. Pleased with the purchase.

It was great to buy this product from Adorama because I would have had to wait a long time to get it locally. Adorama sent it quickly, in less than a week. I really like this computer except for the lack of connectivity since there are no USB ports and I have to use adapters for things like my external hard drives, printers, etc. So I had to purchase adapters. Otherwise, I would recommend both the computer and Adorama.

This is a great machine with one exception. If you buy a base model and you need ethernet make sure you upgrade the power supply. Otherwise, the computer does NOT come with an ethernet port.

Apple iMac 24" with Retina 4.5K Display, M1 Chip with 8-Core CPU and 8-Core GPU, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Gigabit Ethernet, Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Silver, Mid 2021 Absolutely wonderful, amazing product, I love using it. It came updated to Mac Os Monterey 12.2.1 (I did not want to have to update from Big Sur!) I had issues with an old 2011 iMac - glad to be up-to-date!

I am very pleased with my new iMac 24, so far it has been nice experience. Not having the right click tools on my mouse is quite annoying, maybe it is something I will figure out later. I?ve had this Mac for one week now, can?t wait to see how it cooks in comparison to my old Mac.

A replacement for my very aged iMac. Noticeably faster. However, be aware that this version uses Thunderbolt and usb3 ports. You will certainly need a usb C to A hub to use your earlier peripherals - your time machine drive, drawing tablet, printers etc.

I 100% recommend this product. It had more than enough memory for electronic medical records and documentation for my practice. This iMac is stunning in appearance. As per usual with Apple devices, my iPad/iPhone/MacBook/AirPods/Apple Watch all work cohesively with this iMac. Communication between devices is fluid. Have had the system running non-stop for almost a month and haven?t had to charge the keyboard or mouse yet. Super fast function, setup that my 6 year old could have done. Just a terrific machine. I have zero complaints!

This replaced a 2015 iMac. Delivery was sooner than initially estimated. Set-up was a simple. The performance bump was immediately noticeable even though both old and new were running the same OS, apps etc. Even during online activity, rendering is quicker. We FaceTime regularly. The image and audio was raved about by the others in the session. This iMac is an easy recommendation, representing a superior product for the money.
