Two-minute review
Apple has managed to reinvent one of its most iconic products with the release of the iMac (24-inch, 2021) by not only improving upon its predecessor but doing so in stunning fashion. Where the previous iMac had started to look outdated with its hand-me-down looks, the 2021 model is refreshing with its modern and svelte shape.

Part of this design overhaul is the size of the screen. The 21.5-inch display is now gone, replaced by the larger 24-inch one (though the 27-inch iMac is still available). While the screen is much larger, the dimensions of the iMac (24-inch, 2021) is not remarkably different from its predecessor, coming in at 54.7 x 46.1cm with a depth of 14.7cm while the prior 21.5-inch model measures 52.8 x 45cm with a depth of 17.5cm. Incredibly, the screen on this iMac is only 11.5mm thin.

So, this model gives you all that extra screen real estate while not taking up much more desk space. And, considering the fact that it is slimmer and lighter as well – the 24-inch model weighs 4.48kg compared to its predecessor’s 5.68kg – it’s an even more portable and flexible all-in-one computer.
Apple has also released the iMac (24-inch, 2021) in seven vibrant colors, which harkens back to the days of the iMac G3 and shows a confidence and playfulness from Apple that's very welcome. In a nice touch, the Magic Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad all come in the same color as the iMac you choose, and elements of the macOS Big Sur user interface are also in the same color. It’s a lovely overall effect.
