IPhones have come in a variety of colors for years.

After lugging the 27-inch Core i7 iMac around my apartment regularly during the past Covid year, mostly in order to make use of its excellent camera for video meetings, the 9-pound, 24-inch iMac felt incredibly light.

But more important than that is weight, and I've always felt that PC makers should focus on dropping weight over shaving off a few fractions of a millimeter. Laptops and desktops have gotten thinner over time, squeezing more power into an ever-smaller footprint.

This is Apple's first computer designed from the ground up to be an M1 system, and it portends a major shift in Mac design that may make its way to the MacBook, Mac Mini and other systems. The older iMac design hinged its screen in the center of the body, which was required by its hefty weight to keep everything nice and stable. The screen hinge has moved further down, to a less awkward spot than before. The trapezoidal foot has been constrained to a neat rectangle.

The iMac's built-in Ethernet port has also been banished to the power brick, something I've only seen a handful of times over the years. The power cable now attaches magnetically. The connection is tight enough that I don't think it would harmlessly pop out if you tripped over it, although I have yet to put that to the test. The magnetic connection is a clever concept, but don't mistake it for Apple's old MagSafe laptop cables. It's in a similar spot as on the previous iMac design, allowing the cable to fit through a hole in the stand for tidy routing. The power cable has been redesigned and now attaches magnetically. It's more colorful, but at the same time less organic. Contrasting colors highlight a slimmer screen bezel, instead of masking it in black. Now we have a flat body, similar to a computer monitor, with squared-off edges. The iMac aesthetic for almost 10 years has been a large display, gently bowed out on the back, tapering to a sharp edge and perched on a single curved foot. Formerly an all-in-one desktop with a 21.5-inch screen, this is now the 24-inch model, fitting a larger display into a similar footprint, thanks to thinner screen bezels and other design tweaks.

The question was, which Mac would make the jump to M1 next? It turned out to be the smaller of two iMac models, along with one of Apple's new iPad Pro tablets.
