The biggest shocker for a lot of people may be the absence of the Apple logo from the front panel, where it's always lived right below the display. The outer box also matches, with images of your choice of color on the package, and even a color-matched carrying handle. The power cable and included lightning cable are color-coordinated, as are the keyboard and mouse or touchpad and even the desktop background image. That color choice extends across the entire product. With all the iMac colors, there's a more muted shade on the front panel and a deeper shade on the back. I tested the orange model, which has a creamsicle-like vibe. The colors run through everything, including the accessories and box. Long a fan favorite, it's great to see this aesthetic return, and work-from-home types might certainly welcome a dash of color to dress up their spaces. The choice of colors is a clear throwback to the classic iMac G3 from 1999, which dressed up its bulky CRT display with candy- colored outer shells. With seven bold colors (and each a two-tone combination), the new iMac is the most colorful Mac computer in a long time. MacBooks have had a few color options, but they were understated, with gray, silver and gold options that really didn't look all that different from each other. IPhones have come in a variety of colors for years.

After lugging the 27-inch Core i7 iMac around my apartment regularly during the past Covid year, mostly in order to make use of its excellent camera for video meetings, the 9-pound, 24-inch iMac felt incredibly light.

But more important than that is weight, and I've always felt that PC makers should focus on dropping weight over shaving off a few fractions of a millimeter. Laptops and desktops have gotten thinner over time, squeezing more power into an ever-smaller footprint.
This is Apple's first computer designed from the ground up to be an M1 system, and it portends a major shift in Mac design that may make its way to the MacBook, Mac Mini and other systems. The older iMac design hinged its screen in the center of the body, which was required by its hefty weight to keep everything nice and stable. The screen hinge has moved further down, to a less awkward spot than before. The trapezoidal foot has been constrained to a neat rectangle.

The iMac's built-in Ethernet port has also been banished to the power brick, something I've only seen a handful of times over the years. The power cable now attaches magnetically. The connection is tight enough that I don't think it would harmlessly pop out if you tripped over it, although I have yet to put that to the test. The magnetic connection is a clever concept, but don't mistake it for Apple's old MagSafe laptop cables. It's in a similar spot as on the previous iMac design, allowing the cable to fit through a hole in the stand for tidy routing. The power cable has been redesigned and now attaches magnetically. It's more colorful, but at the same time less organic. Contrasting colors highlight a slimmer screen bezel, instead of masking it in black. Now we have a flat body, similar to a computer monitor, with squared-off edges. The iMac aesthetic for almost 10 years has been a large display, gently bowed out on the back, tapering to a sharp edge and perched on a single curved foot. Formerly an all-in-one desktop with a 21.5-inch screen, this is now the 24-inch model, fitting a larger display into a similar footprint, thanks to thinner screen bezels and other design tweaks.

The question was, which Mac would make the jump to M1 next? It turned out to be the smaller of two iMac models, along with one of Apple's new iPad Pro tablets.
