Apple's late-2024 all-in-one with a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, the M4 chip, 16GB of RAM as standard, a 12MP Center Stage camera and USB-C accessories, starting at $1,299. It is fast and well-liked for home and office use, but the base model's two ports, fixed-height stand and single screen size limit it.

Calls it the best all-in-one available at $1,299 with 16GB standard and a better webcam, while noting an unchanged design, one size, 60Hz screen and bottom-charging mouse.
Likes the design, display and speakers, but finds the stand fixed-height, the keyboard and mouse weak, the base 8-core GPU limiting and a Mac mini better value.
Buyer reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, with the few complaints focused on wanting more ports, a 27-inch size and better Windows software support.
A single owner review calling the M4 a powerhouse but criticising mismatched bezel colour, dated white borders and the loss of the 27-inch iMac.
