Apple 24-inch iMac

M4 8-core (2 Thunderbolt ports) · M4 10-core (4 Thunderbolt ports)

Apple’s 24-inch iMac is a colorful all-in-one Mac desktop: a thin aluminum 4.5K Retina display with M4 in 8-core/two-port or 10-core/four-port configurations, seven finishes from Blue to Silver, and a color-matched Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Independent reviews praise the display and the clean desk setup, while pushing shoppers to decide ports, storage, and whether a Mac mini plus monitor would spend the same money differently. Dedicated multi-month endurance tests are thinner than introduction-period coverage — treat short-horizon hands-on as short-horizon evidence. Best fit if you want one cable-light machine that looks intentional on a desk; less ideal if you need max ports, easy upgrades, or a higher-power Mac chip Apple sells in other desktops.

Where reviews agree

Recurring strengths and trade-offs

Reviewers treat the 4.5K display and ultra-thin colorful design as the real reason to pick an iMac

Max Tech’s upgrade guide, iJustine’s pink unboxing review, and Kyle Erickson’s after-one-week review all land on the same shopping point: the bright 4.5K Retina panel and the thin, color-matched chin-and-stand design are what make the M4 iMac feel different from a Mac mini plus a separate display. GadgetMatch’s green review echoes the same “all-in-one beauty” pitch. These are design and display takes from hands-on videos — not a lab panel study.

Everyday M4 performance is enough for most people — reviewers still warn about storage and ports

Brandon Butch’s setup-and-benchmarks review, GregsGadgets’ before-you-buy walkthrough, and Kyle Erickson’s week-long use all describe snappy everyday and creative work on M4, while repeatedly flagging the 256GB base SSD and the two-port vs four-port Thunderbolt split as the decisions that matter more than raw chip speed for many shoppers. James Shin’s later living-with-it video still frames the machine as easy to love for day-to-day work once those choices are made.

Where experiences differ

What depends on needs and context

iMac vs Mac mini — reviewers disagree on whether the display premium is “worth it”

GregsGadgets explicitly argues for the iMac over a Mac mini when you want one clean desk device, while Max Tech and Brandon Butch spend more time weighing the higher all-in-one price against building a mini-plus-monitor setup. Simple Alpaca’s 2026 revisit still asks whether the M4 iMac remains the right buy once newer Mac desktops exist. The reviews disagree on value framing; they are not a live price comparison.

Two-port vs four-port — how many Thunderbolt ports you actually need

iJustine, GadgetMatch, and GregsGadgets all walk through the 8-core/two-port versus 10-core/four-port split, including Ethernet on the power brick and who should jump to four ports for docks, cameras, and multi-display desks. Kyle Erickson similarly treats ports as a practical fork, not a vanity upgrade. Reviewers have not run one shared multi-display protocol across every configuration — match the port count to your accessories.

Decision checks

Before you buy

Choose 2-port (8-core) or 4-port (10-core) before color

Apple’s two shop configurations differ in CPU/GPU cores, Thunderbolt port count, Ethernet (standard on four-port; configurable on two-port), maximum memory/storage, and nano-texture glass (four-port only). Pick the port and expansion path first, then the finish.

AppleApple SupportApple Support

Memory and storage are not user-upgradable later

Unified memory and SSD are configured at purchase. Several reviewers flag 256GB as tight once macOS and apps land — buy the headroom you expect to need for years.

AppleGregsGadgetsBrandon Butch

Plan docks if you need more than two or four Thunderbolt ports

The integrated display leaves fewer free ports than a mini-plus-monitor desk. Count drives, cameras, and external displays before you choose the two-port model.

Nano-texture glass is a four-port option — not on every config

Apple lists nano-texture glass as a configure-to-order option on four-port models for glare control. Confirm whether your intended SKU includes it before you buy for a bright room.

Does the iMac support external displays?
