Comparing the iMac 2021 vs the iMac 2020: Which one should you buy?
The iMac 2021 is slimmer, and M1 ready while the 2020 version has a 5K screen and some other advantages, so it's a tough decision.
Not everyone will want to update to the 2021 iMac over the 2020 Intel-based alternative (which will be available via the HotUKDeals listings). The key innovations of the 2021 model include M1 processing, more efficient graphics, a slimmer profile, and a better camera. But the 2021 model does away with the nano-glass screen, has a smaller screen size and resolution, and may actually be compatible with fewer accessories (until M1 versions become available). The price of the 2021 iMac is higher as well, so choose wisely when finding the best iMac deals.
How to Connect Keyboard to iMac 2021
Follow these simple steps to connect a keyboard to the iMac 2021:
Firstly, connect the Magic Keyboard to your iMac 2021 via one of the computer's Lightning ports. If you don't have a Lightning to USB cable already, you may need to purchase one to make the connection.
Now, the keyboard and computer should automatically pair up. However, this isn't the end of the story, as you'll probably want to enable wireless Bluetooth connectivity as well.
Click on the Apple icon on your desktop and choose “system preferences.”
Choose the Bluetooth icon on the menu that appears. Now press “turn Bluetooth on.”
The “Devices” menu should now show your Magic Keyboard. Press the button to enable your keyboard and you should enjoy instant wireless connectivity.
