Our take

Still the friendliest desktop computer: one cable, cheerful colors and a sharp 4.5K screen. The new camera and 16GB base memory help a lot.

Every Mac we review becomes someone’s main computer for at least a month. We pay most attention to sustained performance, fan noise, battery life on real workdays and how far the base memory goes.

Pros

  • Beautiful 4.5K display
  • 16GB base memory
  • Center Stage camera

Cons

  • Chin divides opinion
  • Base model has fewer ports
