Apple's NEW iMa 24-inch (M1, 2021) review: Slim, power-efficient

                                                   

features of  Apple [M1,2021]

The original flat-screen iMac has been around for so long that it's easy to forget the impact it has on the sleek, all-in-one (AIO) industry, with the rest of the next AIO program released by competing PC manufacturers. Apple. That design hasn't changed much in recent years - until the first Mac-based M1.

This new 24-inch model is also reminiscent of Apple's engineering capabilities, as it narrows the fringes around the edge of the screen so that the entire computer body now measures only 21.5 inches wide, compared to 20.8 inches generations ago. In fact, the display of the new iMac actually measures 23.5 inches in a row, which may not seem like a huge improvement when taken alone. However, the '4KK' Retina display has additional resolutions, at 4,480 by 2,520 pixels (218dpi), as well as Apple's TrueTone technology for adjusting brightness, as well as acceptable display coverage.

But if the 24-inch iMac reminds us of Apple's design skills, it also brings the company's weaknesses back into focus, too. Apple may be also to design a desktop computer that's 11.5mm thick, but it doesn't allow you to adjust the height of the screen, or even rotate the stand to adjust the viewing angle. These basic ergonomic requirements are sacrificed, presumably, because Apple didn't want any unsightly nuts and bolts spoiling that wafer-thin profile. 

Price & options 

There seems to be no reason for that limitation, other than for consumers to opt for the more expensive mid-range model, which offers an 8-core GPU, dual USB-C ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port on a power adapter and a TouchID on the keyboard. Such adjustments cost £ 1,449 (inc. VAT) or $ 1,499; there is a third-party configuration that has already doubled solid storage to 512GB for an additional $ 200 / $ 200.

Additional upgrade options are limited and expensive. The 27-inch Intel iMac still allows users to improve their own memory, but that’s not an option with the M1 based 24-inch Mac. The M1 processor only allows 8GB or 16GB, so if you want to upgrade to 16GB you will have to pay a maximum of £ 200 / $ 200 at the time of purchaseThe design of the 2021 Mac is outstanding, but still more expensive than the basic AIO entry system. The M1-based Mac Mini is less expensive, but its price does not include the display. However, the basic suspension of the Mac Mini costs just £ 699 / $ 699 so you can probably buy a decent monitor to use with it and have a change from £ / $ 1,000. The Mac Mini also has an 8-core GPU in all configurations, with better connectivity too, so you really pay for a desk that catches the eye of the M1 iMac

Surprisingly, the new Mac offers very similar performance to its M1 brothers. In fact, its Geekbench 5 CPU stats of 1,745 (single core) and 7,700 (multi-core) in the M1 natural mode are almost identical to those of the Mac Mini. Geekbench can also test working with Rosetta 2 translation software that allows you to use older Intel-based software, recording the most prestigious points of 1,340 (single core) and 6,040 (multi core).

IMac was unable to use the Intel-based Cinebench R15 test for graphics performance, or the Unigine Valley test, suggesting that Rosetta 2 is not fully compatible with Intel software. However, the Mac has been able to use the Intel version of Tomb Raider, offering Lara Croft's sacrifice at 25fps similar to the Mac Mini, where it works with a 2560x1440 resolution with the highest game graphics settings. Intel compatibility release is not a major concern, as key applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office are already available in M1 versions

The M1 iMac cannot be described exactly as a gig rig, but it is more than capable of managing production software such as Microsoft Office, as well as other image or video editing functions.
