The sound quality amps up a notch when you listen to something with Dolby Atmos or Apple's Spatial Audio tech, because the iMac M4 does a decent job of making the audio sound like it's coming from around you instead of in front of you.

The M4 iMac is a nice computer. Apple's addition of 16GB RAM to the basic $1,299 model makes it a whole lot more appealing for the vast majority of people who just want to take the computer out of the box and plunk it on a desk and be done.

Apple's latest iMac sticks with a familiar look but speeds things up with the M4 chip and upgrades the webcam.

Not that it matters, really — the iMac M4's display looks lovely, and as you can see from our test results it gets nearly as bright and colorful as the Apple Studio Display, a fancier screen that costs more than the entire iMac M4 ($1,599 vs $1,299).

If you weren't able to buy Apple's latest iMac in time to get it on its release day on November 8, here's your chance to get a discount on the all-in-one computer. The company is already selling it for $85 off at Amazon before the Black Friday frenzy even begins.
