Depends on your needs. For this price it'd be hard to put together a comparable setup to this including a quality monitor, decent keyboard, mouse/track pad, respectable webcam and mic and speakers. This has it all in a very attractive package. Very slick.
Most likely this price is because M2 iMacs are imminent.

Hilarious to read through all the naysayer comments on the 2021 iMac.

Please, if you will, humor us all and put together a package for $1,000 that meets or beats this unit's 8 core CPU / GPU Passmark scores, SSD read/write speeds, 4.5k 100% P3 color space monitor at 218 ppi and 500 nits, WiFi speed of 760 MBit/s, two (2) Thunderbolt 3's at 40Gbps, two (2) USB 3.1 Gen 2's at 10Gbps, a 1080P webcam and microphones of this quality, and a six (6) speaker sound system that is equally as superb.

Also, don't forget the cost of a keyboard with fingerprint login and a mouse capable of multi touch input.

We will all be waiting for the cost of the i7 system or better it will take to beat this iMac at $1,000. You can try, but if you can't put the system together right here right now, well, then you simply live in a world where measurable objective criteria are meaningless.

Waiting endlessly for a link to something even marginally better in all of these metrics at $1,000 or less.

Oh, and don't worry, there will be no requirement that it be less than 10lbs or 1/2 inch thick like the iMac.

Good luck!

I just feel like you're better off with a Mac mini M1 (or 2) and an external monitor (or 2).

Maybe, but the iMac does come with a very nice (albeit undersized) monitor….

This monitor size is too small to be a primary computer in my opinion, though it will definitely work for some. Apple needs to revive the 27-inch line ASAP...

Apple needs to up the game. 512Gig and 16gig should be the baseline in today's standard while others have gone larger. For what it is a good price but there is no Wow factor here. Who still use 24 inches monitor plus is not upgradable? May be physician office at the front desk ?

Really great price but 24" is small. 27" would be ideal.

This is the better version if you're looking for an iMac. This 8-core and 8-core gpu with a build in fan. The keyboard have the fingerprint sensor and 4 USB-C ports.

Just depends on how you like your situation and cable management.

Bought a mini M1, a usb extension hub with 2TB m2 ssd and using a standard Dell 27" monitor. Now I have about 7 cables, 1 HDMI and 2 are power outlets used as a result. But if I need the 4.5k display. I would probably just get this and a hub since the system is only 256GB

An M1 with a larger sized thunderbolt monitor will probably save about $100-200 off. But not everyone will need something like a TB monitor.. Unless you have some sort of visual design background that requires you to be able to distinguish the colors for editing.

When does the m2 come out? Can this handle say 3 excel spreadsheets open at once even?
While the screen might be a tight fit, the M1 can easily handle that and about 100 other things going on.

You'd also need keyboard, mouse, speakers (not all 4K monitors have speakers).

This also comes with the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, which is going for $140 on Amazon. That would be a must for me if I bought a Mac, but you'd have to buy it separately with the Mac Mini.

I'd jump on this if only the display had a display input. My desk fits only one monitor and I need an external monitor for work. Such an unfortunate omission.
