Most of the enhancements to the 2020 iMac are under the hood. This is faster internet than most people know what to do with - but hey, speedier connections are never a bad thing. Lastly, for an extra $100, Apple also offers a 10Gb Ethernet connection. Still, it’s a nice selection of old and new ports, and is far less controversial than what Apple offers on other products. All-in-ones like the HP Envy 32 even include an HDMI input, in case you want to plug in something like a Nintendo Switch, for example. There’s plenty here to hook up an external monitor, while also powering accessories or external drives.ĭo I wish Apple had included two more Thunderbolt 3 ports to match the Mac mini and the MacBook Pro? Of course. The selection of ports includes an Ethernet jack, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, four USB-A ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a full-size SD card slot. Ports are still located in the back right corner, which makes them hard to reach, especially if you’re up against a wall. That’s a bitter pill to swallow when you’re spending more than $3,000 on a computer. Like Apple Silicon, you’ll have to wait until at least 2021 for a fresher look. Even the rounded shape of the corners and backside feel a bit outdated for Apple’s current design language. None of those Windows PCs are as refined and understated as the iMac, but a redesign is long overdue. Set a 2020 iMac next to a 2015 iMac, and you’ll scarcely tell the two apart.Īll-in-ones like the Dell Inspiron 27 7790, HP Envy 32 All-in-One, and the Microsoft Surface Studio 2 make the current iMac feel a little chunky.
It has absolutely massive bezels, a stand that can’t adjust its height, and a fairly thick chassis.
It’s still a gorgeous piece of hardware - just not one that looks like it was designed in 2020. The iMac has been evolving internally, but on the outside, it has stagnated.
