This all is housed in a wafer thin aluminum case with flat edges that includes a 23.5" 4480x2520, 218 PPI, LED-backlit, "True Tone" widescreen "Retina 4.5K" display mounted on a svelte aluminum stand. This specific model is offered in the a two-tone Blue color.

Brilliant 4.5K Retina display: see the big picture and all the detailsSee it all in sharp, glorious detail on the immersive 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, the P3 wide color gamut brings what you're watching to life in over a billion colors. Images shine with a brilliant 500 nits of brightness.
A larger sensor that captures more light. And the advanced image signal processor (ISP) of M1 greatly improves image quality. So from collaborating with coworkers to catching up with friends and family, you'll always look your best.
And True Tone technology automatically adjusts the color temperature of your display to the ambient light of your environment, for a more natural viewing experience.
So whether you're editing photos, working on presentations, or watching your favorite shows and movies, everything looks incredible on iMac.
Studio-quality mics for high-quality conversations: whether you're on a video call with a friend, cutting a track, or recording a podcast, the microphones on iMac make sure you come through loud, crisp, and clear.
The studio-quality three-mic array is designed to reduce feedback, so conversations flow more naturally and you interrupt each other less. And beamforming technology helps the mics ignore background noise. Which means everyone hears you - not what's going on around you.
The sound system on iMac brings incredible, room-filling audio to any space. Two pairs of force-canceling woofers create rich, deep bass without unwanted vibrations and each pair is balanced with a high-performance tweeter. The result is a massive, detailed soundstage that takes your movies, music, and more to the next level.

“The specs say this model has 2 USB ports. The one I received has none. Are they hidden somewhere?”
It's a USB-C port it's a smaller port. Not the regular size USB port. See the picture below. It fits the newer Apple chargers.

“Is this just the monitor?”
It's an all-in-one (AIO). Which means everything in one structure. So it's not just a monitor it uses Apple's operating System, macOS and it has storage, CPU, GPU etc.

“For an inexpert 85-year-old general user with a ten-year old iMac (OSX Yosemite version 10.10.5), is this latest model 24" iMac with Retina 4.5K display Apple M1 8GB memory - 256GB SSD a decent upgrade?”
It's basically the same system as your older machine, but bigger, lighter and faster. There is no disc drive and it has fewer ports.

“I just brought home the Imac24". It saysthe mouse and Keyboard are wireless. Where do I install the power for them?”
You can charge the mouse and keyboard with a lightning charger. Once charged, they last months before having to charge again.
