Apple iMac (M4, 2024) review: specs, options & used prices

What this machine is

The iMac (M4, 2024) is Apple's all-in-one from 2024 — a compact, self-contained machine built around Apple silicon.

An all-in-one puts the computer behind the display: one cable to the wall, one device on the desk, and serviceability as the trade-off.

We do not have enough tracked listings to quote a used market price for this machine yet — check the current options and prices on its spec sheet.

Configurations you will actually see

The CPU options we track for the iMac (M4, 2024) are the Apple M4.

Memory options run from 16 GB to 32 GB (16 GB, 24 GB, 32 GB). Even the base 16 GB config is comfortable for typical office and home use; higher tiers are for specialized workloads.

Solid-state storage options include 256GB, 512GB and 1024GB.

All-in-one notes

Apple silicon is a system on one module: CPU, GPU and unified memory cannot be upgraded after purchase, so the memory tier must be chosen at purchase time. Storage is also onboard — an external Thunderbolt or USB-C drive is the practical expansion path.

macOS receives long support windows per chassis, so the chip generation matters more than usual when comparing prices across years.

Our compactness rating for this chassis: 55/100.

Who it fits

It fits macOS households, home studios and creative light workloads; app compatibility with the specific chip generation is worth checking before buying.

Full specifications, current options and tracked prices live on its spec sheet; the desktop catalog and the Apple desktops page help place it among the alternatives.

Verdict

Judged as a tool rather than a toy, the iMac (M4, 2024) holds a clear niche at the sensible end of the used market.

Price data is thin for this model, so compare current listings directly rather than relying on a quoted median — configuration differences dominate on this class of machine.

Our composite LB Score currently sits at 36/100 — a solid reading for its class.
