Screen is just 1080p. At $600 this isn't the best idea in the world but not the worst. It works with Monterrey but no telling how long support will last- I wouldn't expect the next os to be supported on it.

With the late 2020 mac mini M1 selling for $570 (https://slickdeals.net/f/15608452-mac-mini-apple-m1-chip-8-core-cpu-8-core-gpu-8gb-memory-256gb-ssd-silver-569-99?src=popular_
Good post OP, don't let us discourage you. It's just that this iMac is not aimed at Apple users who do video editing or plan to use Adobe products. I helped a little old lady upgrade a similar iMac and she looooves her older machine.
It is $900 but a 2019 model. i5 with 8th Gen 6-core IntelĀ® Coreā¢ i5 Processor 3.0GHz
21.5" Retina 4K Display
802.11 Wireless-AC + Bluetooth 4.2
Wireless Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2
This one is $550 off. Bought this on sale last month but haven't opened it. Trying to see if 24" imac would go on sale or the cheaper M1 MacBook.
I disagree with your recommendation on the macbook air. Right now those're (IMO) not very well priced, even that open box runs around $800 or so. With just 2 USB C/thunderbolt ports (1 when its plugged in unless you buy a hub with PD), it's not a device for everyone and a redesign is around the corner... I just can't suggest a MBA that isn't on sale. Even the $800 price I jumped on in December, that's still $200 more than this and it's up to people to decide if the # of usb ports is adequate or not, coupled with the fact it's **still** ~$200 more than this.
A $560 mac mini also on sale at costco would be a better bet, but you'd need that monitor and mouse/keyboard. As the specs (ram/storage) are identical to this, the m1 would be a better idea because the CPU is going to be a ton faster, ram is probably faster too. I dont think the iMac's upgradeability is enough of a benefit to recommend it instead (as its not an easy task). The only negative about the m1 is the issues the mac minis (and I think the mba as well) have had with bluetooth. I've had issues with my MX Keys keyboard and my mini but using a bolt dongle made things work out a lot better, and MacOS 12.2 I think has resolved a lot of the issues as well. I think the mac mini can be a little finicky in terms of monitors but I've not run into any issues with that. So throw in the cost of a monitor at ~$100 and mouse/keyboard and youll have a much better system than this one.

I'd suggest the best priced Apple is a Hackintosh! š

Good luck!
