But I think a touchscreen would work well here. Apple has said Macs serve one purpose and iPads serve another. The thing that stands out to me most here is the lack of a touchscreen. But there are still a few things I think could be improved.
It's a feature Apple introduced in the new iPad Pros this year, so maybe that will make its way over in future models.Īll of this comes together to form a really capable desktop computer for the price. But I'd love to see Apple add some of the smart tracking so that the camera could follow me around the room - if I'm pacing while talking to my editor over FaceTime. It did a good job keeping my image clear and bright, even if the room was a little dark.
Apple's M1 chip offers better quality even compared with the 27-inch iMac it launched last summer, which uses the same camera hardware. Each family member just registers their fingerprints and then they can tap it to log in to their account when they jump on the computer.įinally, the camera quality is noticeably better. It's really convenient for making purchases (like you would on Apple's laptops), for logging in in a split second, or for sharing a computer. You should do that while buying the iMac. The new Magic Keyboard, which matches the color of the computer you buy (as does the mouse) can be configured with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor for $50 more.
