Apple iMac 2021 computer review; Products for everyone and no one


Let me ease your mind from now on; Apple iMac 2021 (iMac) is one of those computers that even the previous models of this series were not able to provide a similar user experience. Many of the new positives of this iMac can be attributed to its M1 chip.

However, the only difference between the 24-inch Imec and the 2019 21.5-inch models does not end with this new processor. The new models are now equipped with better microphones and speakers. On the other hand, the ports in these models have been reduced and their location has been revised. The screen has gotten bigger and better as a component. The keyboard now supports Touch ID, but the truth is what we told in the first line of the article; M1 is the main star of the adventure!

In fact, this new model has not only increased performance; Also, the fact that you can run iOS and iPadOS apps natively on this device is not the whole story. Also, the new image signal processor of this product, which helps to increase the quality of images recorded in low light, especially webcams, does not surprise us. The power of this powerful and efficient processor is in the form of a new slender and sleek AIMK that completes the last piece of the puzzle.

General specifications

As before, Apple allows users to configure the device according to their needs when purchasing an iMac. Priced at $ 1,299, the base model has 256GB of internal SSD memory, two Thunderbolt ports, two USB-4 ports, 8GB of integrated RAM, and a 7-core graphics processing unit. This model is currently only available in four colors and there is no touch ID on its keyboard.



The model discussed in this article is an iMac equipped with 512 GB of internal memory and a maximum of 16 GB of RAM. This model has 3 USB ports as well as 2 Thunderbolt ports, 8-core graphics processing unit, Touch ID and a Gigabit Ethernet port (built into the charging adapter). In addition to iMac, Magic Mouse and Magic Turkopad are also available. A total of $ 2028 will be required to produce this collection.

The M1 processor uses something called a “hybrid” configuration. To describe this configuration, Intel and AMD processors typically have multiple parallel cores with good performance, while Apple’s M1 processor has four very fast cores and four highly efficient low-energy cores. In this way, devices equipped with this processor are able to provide the best possible performance based on watts of energy consumed in the world. This means that the company’s M1 products are almost unbreakable in single-core mode compared to other processors.


These praises are fully documented through benchmark tests. This Imec model in single-core mode has managed to get a higher score than all previous Imec, even Imec Pro. Thus, the 24-inch iMAC has significantly improved over the previous 21.5-inch models in both single-core and multi-core ranges. This can be understood much more easily and conveniently in the sections related to graphics. It should also be noted that the 24-inch IMC achieved this result with the integrated processor, while the processor of the previous IMCs was discrete.

On the other hand, with the exception of the single-core mode, these results are not close to what we expect from the discrete graphics of the 27-inch Intel processor based on the Intel processor. In this comparison, the results of multiple cores are much more important. These results show that the 27-inch IMAC performs better in the performance that users expect. These functions include heavy-duty multitasking, various calculations, design, video work, and more that make the most of the GPU.

In addition, there are certain limitations that may affect the goals of some buyers. Imec 2021 M1 users, like MacBook Pro and Mac Mini users, can not use 16 GB of RAM and 2 TB of internal storage. As a result, buying this product is not recommended for people who usually deal with editing 4K and 8K videos. RAM and internal memory in this model are inseparable from imes and you can not change them after purchasing the product. Only one external monitor is supported.

The ports on this device are also strangely limited. The base model has only two Thunderbolt, USB ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The more expensive IMAC 2021 models have two USB-3 secondary ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Maybe that’s why Apple even introduced the iMac as a “home and family” device, even with its very powerful professional processor.


Another reason to justify this is the similarity of the performance of this device with the MacBook Pro and Mac minis equipped with the M1. This also seems quite normal, as all of these products use the same processor. Also, if you feel like you can do something with the MacBook Pro M1, the iMac M1 will give you the same functionality.

Miracle M1

In short, you can do all the daily chores, including emailing to YouTube and making normal edits to images and videos. In reviews, 25 different tabs can be kept open in the Chrome browser in the background. During this operation, the performance of the device will not decrease and the speed of the device will remain normal. If you are going to buy this device for such purposes, you will not face any problem.

The frame of the device often stays cool during the inspection process. During the review of the slimmer laptops that we often review (such as models without MacBook Air fans), the efficiency of the device gradually decreases with increasing heavy work. Fortunately, this issue is not seen inside the IMAC. You can open and close various applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro over and over again in a matter of seconds without any problems.

The main advantage of the M1, apart from everything else, is never its pure power; Rather, a combination of power and high efficiency is the main feature of the M1. We’ve seen much better battery life in MacBook Air and MacBook Pro-based M1s compared to models with Intel processors. Battery life is certainly not an issue for iMac, but productivity cannot be taken out of this cycle.


Chips are generally limited by two things: the power they provide and the system’s ability to cool them. Chips discharge almost all of their energy consumption as heat. On the other hand, due to its high performance and efficiency, the M1 processor does not need an extremely powerful cooling system. Because of the need for a sophisticated cooling system, Apple has finally completely redesigned the IMAC design.

The Imec 2021, despite its 24-inch display, is still about the size of a 21.5-inch Imec. Apple has cut the sides of the screen by about 50% to fit its large screen in the same frame as before. The thickness of the device is about 11.5 mm. Considering these dimensions, the M1 iMac looks like a tablet on a stand in front of the 27-inch iMac.

Improved but not for everyone

This iMac is available in seven different colors. Blue, green, pink, orange, purple, yellow and silver are some of the colors available to users. New colors, regardless of users’ tastes, have attracted the attention of a large crowd. Of course, this amount of change in colors does not mean the complete transformation of Imec. The more fringes of the iMac compared to current modern displays are still a special signature of this series of products. It is not possible to change the height of the screen, but its angle can be adjusted according to the location of the face.

Other aspects of this product have changed somewhat. Imec 2021 Display A Retina display with a resolution of 4K (2520 x 4480 pixels), which is more successful than the 2304 x 4096 pixel display of previous Imec. This iMac supports Apple’s True Tone technology. The technology automatically adjusts colors based on the environment.


But even so, the display once again reminds us that this product does not carry the “Peru” extension. Apple has upgraded the device’s display to 24 inches, and now the best external monitors on the market are 27 inches or larger.

Before we get too far into this, it should be noted that Apple has also changed the camera, microphone and speakers of this device. According to Apple, these parts are the best possible examples in the entire Mac product line. The six-piece speaker system works in many ways similar to external quality speakers. Usually you can hear the sound of music playing in the whole house by playing it in a part of the room. The bass and volume details are great when using the speakers on Apple’s new device, and you’ll feel overwhelmed by the music and music playing.

The triple microphone is another enhancement to the IMAC 2021 that can not be underestimated. During video calling, the sound is transmitted in the best possible way and there are no defects in this part. However, the webcam is quite commendable and can not be easily bypassed.

This iMac is powered by a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, which is a nice change from the 720p cameras found in the former 21.5-inch iMacs and even all MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and other Mac-powered products. The M1 processor, whose power we have repeatedly described, is also highlighted here.

Thanks to the image rendering processor and neural motors used in it, your images maintain their quality and appearance in low light conditions. Webcams may not be the best possible example, especially when it comes to video calling, but they are better rated than most current webcams on the market.

Conclusion

Usually when a computer is tested, the reviewer needs to understand exactly what audience the product is intended for and what it will be suitable for. But the 2021 iMacs are designed to be used by anyone, from students to content creators to the elderly. It should also be emphasized once again that this model is the best IM that Apple has designed over the years. This way, it is easier to identify who this product is not designed for than in the previous scenario.

This computer is not at all suitable for those who do not have the patience to struggle with dongles and various conversions. Dongles, especially USB-C to USB-A dongles, have been used repeatedly to test this device. It is also not recommended for those who already own a 27-inch ike; Because the IMAC 2021 is a complete setback in terms of screen size and number of available ports, scalability and net power.

Most importantly, this PC is not suitable for those who are looking for the highest value for money. Many users do not need the specifications and equipment mentioned in this review, so paying $ 1,299, even for the base model, is more than what a wide range of people would be willing to pay. The base model of the Mac Mini is about $ 600 cheaper than the base model of the IMAC; You can get it and connect to a monitor and speaker, enjoy the same performance as the M1.

This product is a real waste of capital from the point of view of enthusiasts and professional users in the world of technology who want to open and upgrade their device from time to time. But it should be noted that this device is not designed for such people; Even if the specifications say otherwise.

Can Apple make iMac even better? Of course! The company is expected to launch a 30-inch 6K display with a net power of 12 cores in the not-too-distant future. However, we should be happy that Apple also introduced this model. This model is not a great revolution and certainly does not change its scope, but it has very good features.

positive points:

  • Great processor
  • Attractive and improved design
  • Most of the internal specifications have been upgraded.

cons:

  • Reduce the number of ports
  • High price to performance
  • It is not possible to upgrade the specifications after purchase.
