The new iMac (24-inch, 2021) is an improvement on its 21.5-inch predecessor in pretty much every way. It's got a better, larger screen, a new modern and colorful design, and delivers excellent performance – all for the same price. If you've been eyeing up an all-in-one for work and play, this is an excellent choice.

Creative Bloq:

The iMac 24-inch (M1, 2021) is an easy way to get a fantastic pro-level screen and more than enough power for amateur or light-to-mid creative work. But its specs are limited at a certain point, especially the GPU, so it will only be suitable for some creative work.

The iMac 24-inch is a great home or work machine, and has the power and screen for some pro work as well. But lower-price machine doesn't offer quite the full experience, and it be awkward for ports.

Tom's Guide

Apple's new M1-equipped 24-inch iMac is a slender-yet-speedy machine packing great speakers, an excellent webcam and a beautiful screen.

The Verge

A new design, new processor, and new screen make for a winning combination
