Expert Analysis

Specs web-verified from manufacturer datasheets · Servnet-reviewed · Last reviewed 11 Jul 2026

These are the two ends of the business all-in-one market. The iMac 24 (M4) leads on the things you look at and talk into: a 24-inch 4.5K Retina panel at 218 ppi and 500 nits that no Windows AIO near it matches for sharpness, a 12MP Center Stage camera, and a six-speaker Spatial Audio array with a three-mic setup. It arrives as a finished desk — a colour-matched Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse in the carton and one power cable — which is why it wins reception, studio and design roles on looks and tidiness alone.

The Dell Pro 24 All-in-One Plus answers with everything an IT department actually runs a fleet on. It ships Windows 11 Pro with Intel vPro across every processor option, hardware TPM 2.0 with tamper detection, and a T-bar cable slot. Uniquely for the form factor it is serviceable — two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots to 64 GB and two M.2 slots to 2 TB, each with a bay free as stocked — and its I/O reads like a docking monitor: eight USB ports, DisplayPort and HDMI-out for extra screens, an SD reader, and an HDMI input that lets the panel double as a display for a laptop or signage player. Its pop-up camera physically retracts, which some procurement teams still prefer to any software shutter.

Buy on the OS estate first. Mac-managed or design-led offices, and any desk clients see, take the iMac for its display, camera and one-box finish. Windows fleets — reception, hot desks, call handling, education and public sector — take the Dell for vPro, TPM 2.0, upgrade headroom and the wider I/O, and gain a 3-year base service term against Apple's one. Servnet stocks and quotes both, so the platform, not the hardware, should decide it.

Frequently asked questions

Which has the better display?

The iMac, by a wide margin on paper. Its 24-inch 4.5K Retina panel runs 4480 × 2520 at 218 ppi with 500 nits and P3 wide colour, so text and images are far sharper than the Dell's 23.8-inch 1920 × 1080 IPS panel (about 92 ppi, 250 nits). The Dell counters with a 100 Hz refresh, a 99% sRGB anti-glare finish and an optional touch panel — practical strengths, but not resolution.

Can I upgrade the memory or storage after purchase?

On the Dell, yes — and that is rare for an all-in-one. Its 16 GB sits as one module in two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots (to 64 GB), and the 512 GB SSD fills one of two M.2 slots (to 2 TB), so a second module or drive fits mid-life. The iMac's unified memory and SSD are fixed at order, so specify 24 GB or 32 GB up front if you need it.

Which is better for video calls?

The iMac. It carries the best camera Apple fits to a desktop — a 12MP Center Stage sensor that auto-frames you, plus Desk View, a six-speaker array and a three-mic setup, so a huddle space needs no add-ons. The Dell's pop-up FHD HDR camera, dual-array mics and 10 W stereo are solid for Teams calls, and its optional 5MP IR camera adds Windows Hello and presence detection the iMac's fixed camera lacks.

Is a keyboard and mouse included with each?

The iMac always ships a colour-matched Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse in the box, with Touch ID on the keyboard as standard on 10-core models — nothing else to buy. Dell treats input as a drop-in-box option, but the stocked UK Pro 24 (XJP3R) is listed with a KM5221W wireless keyboard and mouse in UK QWERTY; tell us at quote stage if a fleet needs a different standard set.
