Yes, it is possible to order the iMac with a keyboard with a numeric keypad. However, this is a so-called CTO product (Configure-to-Order), which is specially configured. Such configurations can also be ordered directly from the manufacturer or, if possible, through us. 😊
The iMac 2024 has no conventional USB ports, only Thunderbolt 4 ports, which can also be used as USB-C. To use older USB devices, you will need an adapter or a USB-C hub that offers USB-A ports.
This model can't be configured with a different keyboard.
However, the full-size keyboard can be purchased separately: Apple Magic Keyboard mit Touch ID und Ziffernblock 2024 (CH, Wireless)
The mouse and keyboard are already included in the price of the iMac 2024 (M4, 16 GB, 256 GB, SSD, Apple M4 8-Core). A Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and a Magic Mouse are included in the scope of delivery.
Yes, the iMac 2024 (M4, 16 GB, 512 GB, SSD, Apple M4 10-Core) has an Ethernet connection, but only if the corresponding power supply adapter with Ethernet function is used. On models with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, the power supply unit is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet connection as standard.
Yes, on the "iMac 2024 (M4, 24 GB, 512 GB, SSD, Apple M4 10-Core)" the RJ45 port means Gigabit Ethernet. The RJ45 port, which is used for Ethernet cables, supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to 1000 Mbps and is integrated into the iMac's power supply.
Yes, the configuration of the "iMac 2024 (M4, 16 GB, 512 GB, SSD, Apple M4 10-Core)" includes a "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID" as standard. This keyboard offers secure and convenient authentication as well as other practical functions.
Both are somehow true. In the first year, the warranty service is provided directly by Apple, even in an Apple Store, after which the item must be sent to a licensed service centre.
The iMac 2024 (M4, 16 GB, 512 GB, Apple M4 10-Core) cannot be used directly as a monitor for a MacBook as it does not support Target Display Mode. This mode is only available on older iMac models (between 2009 and mid-2014) that use macOS High Sierra or earlier.
However, there are alternative methods to use an iMac as an external monitor:
1. AirPlay: Newer iMac models from 2019 onwards support AirPlay, which makes it possible to wirelessly display the screen of another Mac on the iMac. However, both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network and use macOS Monterey or newer.
2. third-party software: Programmes such as Duet Display or Luna Display offer a way to use an iMac as an external monitor, even if it does not support Target Display Mode. However, these solutions require installation on both devices and may have some limitations.
Overall, using a modern iMac as a monitor for a MacBook is not possible without special software or hardware.
SI the iMac M4 is equipped with 2 thunderbolt 4 ports. You can connect an external source using an adapter or a thunderbolt-HDMI cable. The only thing to keep in mind is that apple products have a particular density per inch of 218 PPI, which in simple terms means that using particular graphic resolutions (e.g. 5120x2880 pixels) therefore if sources with low resolutions (e.g. 1920x1080 pixels) are connected, the images will not be perfectly sharp but may appear slightly blurred. This defect is hardly visible to the untrained eye, but it is fair to list it. If, on the other hand, the PC is equipped with a good video card that can withstand very high resolutions, the problem does not exist. Cordially. Stefano
