“Does it have an HDMI input? I'm hoping to treat this like a monitor for work by plugging in my MacBook Pro to this computer. Is that possible?”

The Apple model MNEA2LL/A (27″ iMac with Retina 5K display, Mid 2017) does not have an HDMI input. This means it cannot be used as a monitor for another computer, such as your MacBook Pro, by directly plugging it in. The ports on this iMac include USB, Thunderbolt, and audio, but none support HDMI or video input. Unlike older iMacs with Target Display Mode, this model does not allow another device to use its display directly. If you wish to use your MacBook Pro with an external display, you would need a dedicated monitor that supports HDMI or DisplayPort input, or consider software-based solutions like screen sharing, though these may introduce some lag and are not equivalent to a direct monitor connection.
