as November Over the past few years retailers have been kicking off the holiday shopping season earlier and earlier This trend will continue in and you ll likely find early Black Friday deals available online and in stores in the weeks before the actual shopping event When do Black Friday deals end Some Black Friday tech deals will end immediately on Saturday November But those will likely be few and far between Along with starting deals earlier and earlier retailers have also extended Black Friday deals past the day for a while now too In the tech space we ve seen many Black Friday deals in the past run through Cyber Monday Where are the best Black Friday deals There is no one place to buy all of the best Black Friday deals but you can expect the big retailers like Amazon Walmart and Target to have many of the same Black Friday deals available ーboth in the lead up and on the day itself We also recommend checking direct to consumer sites like Apple Samsung Sonos and others to make sure you re getting the best deal before you cross things off your list Does Apple have Black Friday deals You typically will not find cash discounts on Apple s website for Black Friday though it has offered various gift card bundles during Black Friday in recent years You may be able to find local Apple store discounts on accessories but Apple isn t a retailer known for slashing prices on its products However you can find more traditional Apple Black Friday tech deals at other retailers like Amazon Walmart Target and Best Buy Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2024-11-14 17:34:34
海外TECH	Engadget	Apple M4 iMac review: The best all-in-one gets a lot faster	https://www.engadget.com/computing/apple-m4-imac-review-the-best-all-in-one-gets-a-lot-faster-173055294.html?src=rss	The iMac looks the same as ever but there s an update that promises to dramatically transform the lineup It s not the M processor though that s nice No I m talking about the boost in base memory that finally lifts the entry level models from a deplorable GB to GB That along with the new chips promises to finally make the iMac cost effective for most buyers There are a few other tweaks like an optional nano coated display an updated megapixel webcam and an assortment of new colors Otherwise things are much the same as last year which may make you wonder if it s worth the upgrade After testing one for content creation gaming and productivity I can tell you that the answer is definitely yes What s new with the latest iMac Side by side the and iMacs look about the same The inch K nit display and the computer itself are housed in the same slim inch mm thick frame It still sits on an elegant stand that tilts but lacks an adjustable height setting While tilt only is a common setup on all in one PCs at this point it would be nice to see Apple do even a simplified height adjustment like it did on the Studio Display Elsewhere there are two Thunderbolt ports on the base model and four on the more expensive versions along with a magnetic power connector and mm headphone jack on the left side ーall the same as before What is new is the higher quality MP webcam that s a massive leap up from past models It finally delivers sharp and color accurate video worthy of the rest of the computer to help you look your best when on FaceTime or Zoom It supports Apple s Center Stage feature that auto centers the subject during video calls even if you re moving around The new webcam also works with the new Desk View feature that lets you show off objects below your screen Steve Dent for Engadget You can now get the iMac with optional nano textured display glass that blocks glare even with a light pointing right at it Though it does slightly reduce sharpness I d recommend it if you can afford the extra Otherwise it s the same clear and colorful display with nits of brightness a wide P gamut and a resolution of x which are all the same as before The inch size may be too small for some but I found it ample for most work and I m used to dual inch screens Still given that the iMac is Apple s only desktop model with an integrated display it would be nice to see a or even inch option on future models even if that makes it less compact and portable The iMac M s color palette also got a tiny refresh Though it still comes in the same seven hues as before they re now in slightly paler shades that Apple calls fresh Indeed the model I tested is a very light green that is so subtle it s hard to even see in dim light I m a fan of subdued hues but anyone hoping for a shot of bright color may be disappointed The accessories have also been updated Both the new Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard with optional Touch ID now charge via USB C rather than Lightning like the iMac M negating a major complaint in our previous review As usual all the accessories including the cables match the color of your iMac ーa cute touch Steve Dent for Engadget I love the feel of Apple s keyboard for speed typing as I m not a mechanical keyboard guy The Magic Mouse is an acquired taste but the slightly firm click pressure and accuracy suit my taste and I love the ability to scroll side to side as well as up and down Yes the charging port is on the bottom which is a bit of a design fail but it can go a month between charges ーand you only need to plug it in for a few minutes to get enough power to last a workday The key updates are inside with the M processor which is available in two variants The base model comes with an core CPU core GPU GB of RAM GB of storage and two Thunderbolt ports All other versions have core CPUs core GPUs and four Thunderbolt ports starting at with GB of RAM and GB of storage There s no M Pro option and therefore no Thunderbolt ports on any iMac Every version but the base model also has gigabit ethernet on the power brick and Touch ID on the Magic Keyboard The model I m testing shows that Apple s upgrades are still too expensive It has a core M GB of RAM TB of storage and four Thunderbolt ports along with the nano textured screen Those three options the extra GB of RAM TB of storage and the updated screen shoot the price up to The good news though is that not buying them won t leave you with an unacceptable amount of memory as before In use Outstanding performance and friendly features Steve Dent for Engadget Desktop PCs don t get much more practical than the iMac M Installing it is as easy as placing it on a surface and plugging it in then running through a relatively quick setup With everything integrated in the display you can install it on your desk in a kid s bedroom or anywhere else with a small amount of space It s easy to move too as there are no cables other than power and weighs just pounds Performance was a pleasant surprise better than I expected on tasks ranging from video editing to gaming The key benchmarks show substantial gains over the iMac M in processing graphics performance and AI ranging from percent on single CPU tests to over percent on the GPU side The iMac M is actually a touch faster than the inch MacBook Pro M but pokier than the inch model with an M Pro chip particularly when it comes to graphics In fact GPU performance is considerably lower than the Mac Mini and even the MacBook Pro M Pro models Still integrated graphics are far more powerful than they used to be and the iMac M beats most rival Windows PCs in that regard including the Surface with a Snapdragon X Elite chip However it sits well below PCs with discrete graphics from NVIDIA and AMD Computer Geekbench Geekbench GPU Cinebench Apple iMac M GPU Apple iMac M GPU Apple MacBook Pro inch M Pro GPU Surface Laptop Snapdragon X Elite GPU N A Apple MacBook Pro inch M Max GPU Gaming shows the iMac s GPU deficiencies with resolution limited to a maximum of p for titles like Resident Evil Biohazard and Baldur s Gate to have playable frame rates above fps Still it s not a bad gaming machine for an AIO that s mostly designed to run Excel spreadsheets or make Zoom calls It s surprisingly solid for content creation too That s aided by the rapid storage speeds GB s read write integrated video decoding and faster processor For instance I don t expect a lot of iMac users to edit K p clips on Blackmagic s DaVinci Resolve but you can totally do that It also handled Premiere Pro Photoshop and Lightroom Classic projects well The only place it stuttered was on RAW K video playback which is a very big ask for an all in one My inch MacBook Pro with an M Pro can handle that thanks to the extra cores but it s nearly more Steve Dent for Engadget With that bright sharp display the iMac M is also great for entertainment It can play K HDR content and supports Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio thanks to the six speaker setup with two force canceling woofers Of course it s better to use high quality headphones but the sound straight out of speakers is better than any AIO I ve used before When watching movies and series on Netflix and Prime Video The Diplomat and Don t Look Up the iMac M provided a colorful immersive viewing experience Finally AI was a big selling point of the M Macs at its unofficial Mac Week event The iMac M fared well in that regard with a Geekbench quantized AI score closely matching results from the M Pro and M Max all M CPUs have Neural Engine AI cores As a more practical test I transcribed a minute Engadget podcast episode using the Whisper Transcription app which took three minutes and four seconds That was the same as the MacBook Pro M but a minute slower than the M Pro model Should you buy the iMac M Steve Dent for Engadget With an unchanged design there might seem to be no justification to buy or upgrade to the iMac M I disagree for one reason Apple s change to GB of base memory allows you to do more than ever on an entry level iMac including taxing activities like K video editing and AAA gaming In fact I would only consider getting an M or older model if getting one with GB of RAM is cheaper than the iMac M I would still avoid the base model if at all possible though For me the sweet spot is now the option that comes with GB of storage four Thunderbolt ports to easily add extra storage and the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID That s still not cheap but gives you a very capable and expandable machine for less than the minimum price we recommended last year This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2024-11-14 17:30:55
