Apple's 2026 iMac Impresses as a Desktop but Still Needs a Redesign

A Verge reviewer says the new 2026 iMac has become their go-to workstation over the past week, drawing them back to their desk from a MacBook. The larger display and built-in speakers are noticeably better than those on a laptop, which the reviewer cites as the main draw. The piece recalls The Verge's earlier review, which questioned who the iMac is really for given its price relative to alternatives. The article still judges the design as needing an update despite the computer's strengths as a desktop machine.
