This update of EveryMac.com features comprehensive updates to the "Apple Silicon" iMac Q&A, Mac mini Q&A, and MacBook Pro Q&A to not only completely cover this year’s models, but also help you get more out of older ones. EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated, too.

If you still need to make holiday purchases, site sponsor OWC has new deals on used Macs, iPhones, and iPads as well as many Mac upgrades and accessories. This Monday -- 16 December 2024 -- also likely is the last day to place online orders with standard shipping for possible arrival before Christmas.

The "Apple Silicon" iMac Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the iMac M4 models and the iMac M3 models replaced?" and "What is the best USB hub for the iMac M4?" and much more about Apple's colorful all-in-one desktop Mac.

The "Apple Silicon" Mac mini Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the Mac mini M4 and M4 Pro? Which is best for me?" and "What type of internal storage does the Mac mini M4 use? Is it possible to upgrade it?" and many other questions about Apple's smallest Mac.

The "Apple Silicon" MacBook Pro Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the MacBook Pro M4 models and the models replaced? Is this is a significant update?" and "What is the best external storage for each MacBook Pro M4?" and more about Apple’s most powerful notebook Macs.

EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contribute info. It's appreciated always.
