> The bold new 24in iMac is a big upgrade in almost every way from its predecessor. The burst of colour is refreshing, the screen is bigger and very good indeed, and the M1 chip is powerful and efficient, meaning it runs more or less silently.
And yet, their list of cons has some pretty significant entries, IMO:
- no USB-A ports
- no SD card reader
- screen height not adjustable
- storage and RAM not user upgradable
I would expect the final point, at least, to knock off a star from the overall rating. Obviously, storage hasn't been upgradable in iMacs for ... ever? And RAM has long been not upgradable.
