iMac M4 User Guide for Beginners

The iMac M4 isn’t just a beautiful all-in-one computer — it’s Apple’s most approachable, most intelligent Mac yet. Quiet, fast, and thoughtfully designed, it’s built to make everyday tasks feel simpler once you understand how Apple intends you to use it.

With the ultra-efficient M4 chip, the redesigned macOS Tahoe interface, and Apple Intelligence working quietly across your apps, the iMac M4 has more built-in help than any Mac before it.

But for many beginners, that first experience can feel uncertain.

New menus.
New system settings.
New intelligence features that aren’t clearly explained.
A Mac that feels powerful — but unfamiliar.

The truth is, most beginners don’t struggle because the iMac M4 is complicated. They struggle because no one explains it clearly, calmly, and in the right order.

This guide changes that.
