I just bought the same model and I find 2 surprises, 1- this model only have 1 fan, I install Macs fan control to check it, 2- Macs fan control show 6 efficiency cores, 4 performance cores and 5 cluster of GPU equivalent to 10 GPU cores, use exactly the same processor than the superior iMacs level, I make a Geekbench to check if all work and voila all work, it must chek it deeply by people to activate the full CPU

Congratulations on your new Mac! I ordered the same silver colour, first time to own iMac 😊. I can’t wait to unbox mine. It’s was supposed to deliver on Nov 8 but I missed it. just received it yesterday 😊

I like how when apple shipped stickers no one cared. Now that they took them away it’s a situation for everyone. This is why I hoard my stuff

[TheDonRMZ]

I wish this came in Space Black too ! 😮‍💨

Thank you for sharing! Your review is awesome because you’re broke down the components of this product so that someone new to Apple can understand.

Thank you so much for your video. I'm writing this from my mid - 2014 iMac, which is beyond vintage, it's obsolete!🤣 I unboxed my new silver iMac M4 and can't wait to set it up.
Thanks again!

I'm so glad I found your channel. Your videos are so thorough, so helpful and so informative.

The silver with black bezel color option will be available exclusively on the M4 Pro iMac (to come with the silver-and-black input devices like from the 2023 Mac Pro) coming in around 2025.

Hey Brandon! Thank-you very much for such an informative video! I have never worked with nor owned a Mac—always PC. But, I had decided that when I retired, I would buy a Mac. The time has come! I appreciate you showing and explaining the initial set up of the iMac and about the new M4. I look forward to seeing your follow-up video! Take care!

[Mr.bearuk]

Very thorough set up and review and thank you

[MichaelWitt-igzq]

I’m avoiding the nano glass as it softens text and image quality.

I'm upgrading from a 2017 iMac (2TB) with 40MB Intel. Looking at this video, I'm super excited to finally upgrade! :-) I do a lot more video and graphic editing, this is going to be so helpful! When you showed the video export in 7 mins, I was like whoa! LOL! :-)
