Apple iMac 24" M3

The iMac started its life as a simple computer to help get people on the internet. Twenty-five years later, it’s back to its roots more than ever. But I just don’t know that a simple all-in-one desktop computer is something most people want or need at this point.

The iMac 24-inch (M3), is now the best all-in-one computer you can buy. There’s no new design, but it remains a bright, colorful and attractive machine that’ll look great in any home or office, though the 24-inch screen is feeling a little cramped these days. Performance is excellent, and if you’re upgrading from an older iMac, or coming over from Windows, there’s a huge amount to like about this new version. We want to see Apple be bolder with the next model, however.

The iMac (M3, 2023) is a fabulous desktop computer, there is no denying that. Apple could have refined the design a little compared to the 2021 model, but it remains a design that's hard to criticise. The performance delivered by the iMac (M3, 2023) is also superb. Nothing is too much effort with a smooth and speedy experience across a multitude of apps. If you have the iMac (M1, 2021), I would say there's no real need to upgrade to the 2023 iMac but if you have an older Intel-based iMac, or you're looking to buy an iMac for the first time, this model is quite simply fantastic.

The Apple iMac M3 looks and sounds as good as its M1-powered predecessor, but Apple's new M3 chip makes this machine an even speedier all-in-one that's easy to recommend to students, families and anyone who wants a Mac for basic work and play.

The iMac offers good overall performance for an entry-level system, but be wary of its quickly climbing price as you add RAM, storage, and ports.

The field is more competitive than ever, but the M3 processor takes Apple's 2023 edition of the all-in-one 24-inch iMac desktop to new performance heights, even for gaming.
