Apple's M4 all-in-one features two Thunderbolt 4 and two USB 3 ports, all using USB-C connectors, mounted on the rear of the display stand for a clean desk setup. Every USB-C port supports DisplayPort output, enabling up to two external displays alongside the built-in 24-inch 4.5K Retina screen. Gigabit Ethernet is uniquely integrated into the magnetic power adapter rather than the computer itself. A 3.5mm headphone jack on the left side of the chassis supports high-impedance headphones.
