The results are more impressive if you look at how the M4 does against Intel chips. The M4 iMac is a speedy 53 percent faster than an iMac Pro, and 137 percent faster than an Intel Core i7 iMac. If you’re still using an Intel iMac, you’re wasting time.

Mac is the rock of Apple’s desktop line. Over the past decade we’ve seen the iMac Pro come and go, Apple struggling to crack the Mac Pro, and largely forgetting the Mac Mini existed for more than a decade.

When it comes to connectivity, the iMac strikes a balance between Spartan and splurge, offering four USB4 Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back of the machine, as well as Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. If you were looking for something like a USB-A port or an HDMI port for connecting an external monitor, you'll need to get an adapter first.
