The beautiful screen on the iMac makes my MacBook Pro look dim and washed out.
The slim design of the iMac fits perfectly into my tiny apartment.
I still havent gotten used to the finicky keyboard.

My MacBook Pro from 2019 isnt precisely sluggish, but using the iMac is a revelation by comparison.

One of the best parts of using the iMac is its portability.
At around 10 pounds, the iMac doesnt weigh much more than some laptops.

It also comes with a convenient power cord that attaches magnetically to the back of the computer.
The benefits of having such a portable desktop are hard to overstate.
I still cant get over the sheer speed of the iMac M1.
My MacBook Pro from 2019 isnt precisely sluggish, but using the iMac is a revelation by comparison.
The built-in speakers are more than good enough for casual music listening or a Netflix-bingeing session.
If I have any complaint about the iMac it’s that I think Ill outgrow the screen.
Ive beeneyeing ginormous monitorslike Samsungs new Odyssey Neo G9.
The 49 inches of the G9 dwarfs the iMac and could be an even bigger productivity booster.
Unfortunately, many hours spent using the iMac keyboard havent changed my initial impression.
Its still too small, and I havent learned to avoid that annoying lock key.
I have tried replacement keyboards like theLogitech MX Keys, which offer better ergonomics.
The Apple Mouse that comes with the iMac also isnt the best thats available.
