iMac
2024 · M4 · 24-inch
WaitA refresh is close. Two years old, with an update rumored. Mac mini is the better buy today.
Last reviewed Oct 13, 2026
Should you buy it now?
Not yet. A newer iMac is likely soon.
iMac still uses the M4 chip from 2024, two generations behind the new Mac mini, and an update is rumored. If you like the all-in-one design, wait. If you need a desktop now, Mac mini with a separate display is faster for less.
Best for: People who want an all-in-one desktop and can't wait for the next model.
