The 2023 iMac delivers excellent performance with the M3 chip and retains its attractive design, but base models suffer from limited RAM and storage. The lack of a larger screen option and vertical adjustment further limits its appeal for power users.

“While it’s nice to see the return of the iMac, now sporting Apple’s fancy new M3 chip, you’d be surprised at how much it feels like we’re walking on familiar ground.”
