The back/side colors are beautiful and saturated... but I wish the stand matched, and the chin wasn't a pastel/baby version of the color -- especially with the white bezels. Lack of Apple logo makes it look a tad generic from the front, almost like an iMac clone. 7 colors and not one with a black bezel...

Otherwise no doubt a nice machine to use.
 
I want to see the silver in person. Overall I still prefer the older design but this gets me excited for what the forthcoming larger model might look like.

Received my green iMac today. I don't understand all the complaints about the bezel and chin. It looks great. The chin is a great place to put sticky notes.

I upgraded from a Late 2015 iMac and recently started editing video. This new iMac is blazing fast with Final Cut!!

I'm in love. All you haters don't hate!
The chin should be bezel color with an Apple logo matching the back.

Today is the official launch day of the new M1 iMac, M1 iPad Pro, and second-generation Apple TV 4K. We picked up one of each, and we're starting with a quick hands-on and overview of the iMac.


Our 24-inch iMac is in orange, which is one of the colors that Apple isn't selling in its stores (stores only have stock of blue, green, silver, and pink models). We have the $1,499 model that comes with an M1 chip, 8-core GPU, 256GB of storage, and 16GB RAM.

All of Apple's new iMacs come with matching accessories, so we've got an orange Magic Trackpad, an orange Magic Mouse, and an orange keyboard, not to mention the braided orange cable to go along with it.

Apple also provides unique colored stickers with each model, so we have a set of orange stickers, and when you boot up the iMac, it has a whole orange theme.

In person, the new 24-inch iMac is super light thanks to its thin design, and the white bezels aren't too noticeable in day to day usage, but the chin is large and sticks out quite a bit.

The iMac has four USB-C ports, two of which are Thunderbolt, a 3.5mm headphone jack at the side, and a MagSafe cable and port.

We've already heard a lot about the M1 chip so we'll test out the iMac's performance in a later video, but the new machine does have a new 4.5K Retina display, which looks as good as you might expect. Other standout features include a six-speaker system that has Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos support, and the new webcam, which has an improved sensor and advanced image signal processor enabled by the M1 for better camera quality.

Did you get a new M1 iMac? Let us know what you think in the comments.

They really made a marketing mistake here by not equipping this model with the ability to dispense fresh squeezed juice.
 
Poor value. God awful to look at.
I think it is beautiful, but ultimately a very limited market because of price. It reminds me of this quote from some dude back in 1998:
Lastly, we're really big on making computers our friends can afford, and not all our friends are Larry Ellison. So, we've got to make computers that are really affordable and I think that's another place that Apple got really off-track and we are just driving that really hard.

Apple has forgotten not all its friends are Oprah.
