Want a little more room in which to work? Set the iMac to display a higher resolution instead. Want everything to be a little bit bigger? Go to the Display preference pane and set the 4K iMac to emulate a smaller monitor. Because the pixel count is so high, these screens can be set to alternate resolutions without sacrificing image quality. There’s also a whole lot of flexibility with a Retina display.

Even toolbars and Dock icons are more pleasant because all the on-screen graphics have added subtle details that were impossible at lower resolutions. And then there’s text, which looks razor sharp like it just rolled out of a laser printer. Photos look startlingly real, almost like they were printed on paper. When four pixels are doing the work that only one used to do, the El Capitan interface really shines. If you’ve been through the Retina transition on an iPad or iPhone or MacBook, you know how much nicer a screen can be when you can’t see the pixels at all. Like last year’s 27-inch 5K model, the main feature of the 4K iMac is its beautiful display, powered by all sorts of amazing technologies that allow Apple to drive those 9.4 million pixels. Then there’s the power of the Retina display itself. iMacs can also be public devices in a way that laptops can’t-I know many families who have placed an iMac in the family room and share it, rather than passing around a laptop (or spending the money on multiple laptops). When I set up my home office, I wanted a workspace all my own, and not only does my iMac’s large screen make me more productive, but it provides me with a bit more work/life balance, because I need to be in my office, at my desk, to make use of it. But still, desktop Macs have their place. Yes, most Macs sold these days are laptops because they’re powerful and flexible. Measuring at 4096 by 2304 pixels, that’s 9.4 million pixels, providing a vastly broader work area than a 12-, 13- or even 15-inch laptop screen.

The new 4K iMac isn’t the cheapest Retina Mac you can buy-both the MacBook and the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro come cheaper-but it offers a much larger screen.

In a time when PC growth has stalled, Apple continues to grow its market share and update Mac hardware in interesting, innovative ways. But it’s clear that Apple views the Mac in general and the iMac in particular as a point of pride. Apple could probably be forgiven if it put the entire iMac line into maintenance mode: after all, sometimes it seems like that’s what most of the PC industry has done. The Mac is a small fraction of Apple’s total business, and of that, roughly three-quarters of the Macs sold are laptops.
