However, there’s a whole lot to love here – and best of all, with a starting price of $1,299 / £1,249 / AU$1,899, the iMac (24-inch, 2021) offers all these improvements for the same price as its predecessor. Memory is also capped at 16GB, so if you’re looking for a powerful workstation PC this may not be for you. This isn’t the most powerful PC out there, however, as it doesn't come with a dedicated graphics card, and nor can you use an external GPU. Thanks to the gorgeous 4.5K Retina screen, great speakers and a fantastic webcam, working and creating on this iMac is a joy. Even older Intel-based apps run well thanks to Apple’s Rosetta 2 tool, and you can also run iOS apps and games, giving you access to thousands of titles.
The macOS Big Sur operating system is fast and snappy – something you should also see with macOS Monterey if you choose to take advantage of the free upgrade – and apps designed for the M1 hardware run brilliantly. Fortunately for everyone involved – other than 27-inch iMac fans – the iMac 24-inch does and then some. What's more, it looks like the iMac 27-inch is effectively discontinued, so this will be the only iMac that anyone is going to be getting for a while, which makes it all the more important that the iMac 24-inch deliver the goods.
