I bought an M4 iMac (Higher-tier Silver colour model with Dual fan/10 Core GPU & 4x Thunderbolt 4 ports) earlier this year to replace my beloved Late 2013 27" iMac (R.I.P) I would have loved to get an Orange one as it's my favourite colour, but the order time for the higher-end configuration on that was far too long at the time. 🙁

Yes, the screen size difference took some getting used to but after a couple of months I'm perfectly satisfied with the 24" screen. It's also my first ever Apple Silicon Mac and I am impressed by just how capable a computer it is.

I adore the iMac. I do with they'd make a 27 inch one but they're a sexy machine. If I had a good job I'd buy one just to have one.

Unfortunately I need a bit more power than what the iMac offers but I still think they're a great machine for many people.
I would buy a 27” new iMac, especially if they gave it a M6 and more RAM. I loved my old 27”, had one at the office and one at home. They both died, may they rest in peace.

I have an M3 iMac with 16/512 and I'm very happy with it. Yes, the 4.5K display is very nice. I also appreciate the 6-speaker sound system. My one small quibble is that I wish they would have put the Apple logo on the chin like the previous iMacs, but it's certainly not a deal breaker. I have the Apple Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad and Apple Magic Mouse which I've been content with for years. I actually have two Magic Mice (one from my previous iMac) so if one needs charging I have the other to use if I need it.

I use my iMac primarily for my hobby of 3D modelling and I'm quite pleased with its performance. And I got my M3 from Apple's certified refurb store. Two years on now and no issues.

The only aftermarket accessories I got for it were a Minisopuru pedestal dock and a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 drive (that fits inside the dock). Nice little setup and I don't have to reach around back to plug anything into the iMac. The dock has USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, standard and micro SD card slots.

Wait, you’re the guy that almost religiously praised the iMac to their friends.
Has Apple finally given you something in return 😂

Wow! My writing comes off as AI? That's a total diss! No AI was used in the writing of my post, thank you very much. : - )

Grammarly gives you an overall score of 85 (there are a few errors), but determined that there were no AI-generated sections or plagiarism.

You have done well, grasshopper. 🙂

There's lots to like about the iMac aesthetic, for sure. I've owned two in the past myself. But I'll never buy a 24" desktop no matter how much I appreciate the look of the iMac and the clean desktop experience. And I seriously doubt Apple ever makes anything larger.

I won't buy a 24" iMac, but if they released a 27" iMac, I would make the 2-hour drive (one way) to the nearest Apple store and buy one.
 
27” iMac is what everybody’s waiting for. That’s why Apples not making it.
Hopefully Ternus realizes that A 27” iMac was popular and people would buy it faster than a 24” iMac

Define "everybody", because I would rather get the 24". Not everyone wants or needs the biggest screens possible.
