According to our desktop expert
With the Apple iMac 24 inches (2021) MGPK3N/A 8GB/256GB 8-core GPU Blue, you can easily work with demanding programs like Final Cut Pro without apps and graphic design tasks slowing down. The M1 chip with 8 graphics cores and 8GB RAM are powerful enough for that. You won't miss any details when you edit your photos as the 4.5K Retina display has a 4.5 times sharper image than a Full HD screen. This iMac also fits in almost any workspace thanks to its 24-inch size and narrow bezels. You can easily tilt the screen forward or backward to work comfortably. A free Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse are included with this iMac. Use Touch ID on the Magic Keyboard to log in to your iMac with a fingerprint instead of a password.

I use my iMac for work, a bit of photo and video editing, and visiting websites with no problems.
Screen. The first thing you notice is the screen. I think 24” is a great size for my desk. I like to start the morning with a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper from this screen. The letters are razor-sharp and the photos colorful. I had my doubts about the white border along the screen. I don't think it's very pretty, but these soft tones around the screen are calm for my eyes.
Collaboration. There is enough going on in the world, but I can't stand reading the newspaper all day long. There is also work to be done. All the programs I need for my work run fine on the M1 chip. Video conferencing has become a lot more pleasant thanks to the 1080p camera. You recognize yourself again. Since macOS 12.4 and iPadOS 15.4 there is 'universal control'. Due to special security protocols, I can only do my work on a work MacBook, but thanks to "universal control" I can still use my iMac as an extra screen of sorts. The mouse moves from my MacBook to iMac and back again. I cannot move programs that primarily run on my MacBook to iMac.
Usage. In my spare time I like to edit a video every now and then. I'm not a hardcore movie editor, but sometimes make a video for YouTube or for family history. I do this in iMovie. I get the videos directly from the Photos app and I edit them quietly. iMac doesn't seem to have any problem with this. The sound of iMac is also surprisingly good for a desktop with 6 Dolby Atmos speakers. I hardly notice this in my own amateur films, but all the more when I watch a series or listen to music.
Design. iMac has been marketed in different colors. Personally, I prefer the sleek, aluminum color, but the different soft tones make the iMac less noticeable in the house. The screen is tiltable, but not adjustable in height. That's too bad. The health and safety service would actually want me to put a stack of books under the iMac to raise it. Thanks to Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard and the fact that Apple hides the Ethernet cable in the adapter, my desk remains empty and wireless.

Fully meets my expectations. This entry-level model is more than sufficient if you have the entire Apple ecosystem. Touch ID on keyboard is unnecessary if you have an Apple Watch yourself.

Nice quiet computer. Files from my old Mac from 2008 were automatically transferred to this new one via time machine.
