5 Things to Know About the M3 iMac's Desktop Design

No battery included The M3 iMac is a desktop computer, so it has no battery. It runs solely on a power cord, just like the M1 iMac.

Same design as M1 iMac Apple did not change the iMac’s design for the M3 model. It remains a desktop-only device with no portable power option.

Power cord is the only connection You plug the iMac into a wall outlet to use it. There is no internal battery for backup or mobility.

Not a laptop replacement If you need a computer that works without being plugged in, this iMac is not for you. It is strictly for stationary use.

No trade-offs for portability Since it lacks a battery, the iMac is lighter and thinner than a laptop with similar performance. This is a deliberate design choice for desktop users.
