I have a fully-loaded M1, the limitations of which I almost never encounter in everyday use and photography post-processing, so this should be one hell of a computer. I'm probably not upgrading until the M7 or so - I don't edit a lot of video or play many games, and have GeForce Now for the latter - but would buy one of these in a heartbeat if I somehow needed a new Mac today.

It's not a revolutionary update, but they usually like to go quite a few years on iMac designs. The faster chip will be nice for those who need it, though the 24GB RAM availability is maybe even a bigger deal for creative and development work. The main thing I'd like to see that isn't there is a 4K camera on the high-end model. I also still miss my Intel iMac's built-in SD card reader, especially on what is almost an optimal computer for photographers, though the dongle works.
