An M4 processor and matte colors: this is the new Apple iMac

Colors are technically the same as before: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and silver, with a small variation: instead of pastel shades, Apple has made them darker. Likewise, it comes with matching accessories.

Apple has finally transitioned to USB-C ports, so we can take them off the list of products that still use the Lightning connector. When purchasing, you can choose between the standard Magic Keyboard or the Touch ID model, as well as a Magic Mouse or a Magic Trackpad. Yes, the Magic Mouse’s charging port is still on the bottom, so you can’t charge and use it at the same time. Likewise, the company added the nanotextured glass option to its Studio Display and Pro Display XDR. It’s great if your computer is next to a window and you want to reduce reflections, however, it costs $200 more and is only available on the highest-end iMac configurations.

The fascination with the M4 chip

The 24-inch iMac is equipped with an M4 processor; This chip was announced in May, but until now it was only available in the 2024 iPad. Built on the second-generation three-nanometer processor, it prioritizes energy efficiency and speed. Apple assures that with the new M4 the iMac will be up to 1.7 times more efficient than with the original M1 chip from 2021. For its part, the graphics will be 2.1 times faster. The company also promises that the chip is up to six times faster than Intel’s older iMac.

You will have the option to choose between different versions of the M4. For example, if you don’t need all the processing power, the base model has an eight-core CPU and an eight-core GPU. If you want, you can upgrade it to a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. All models start with 16 gigabytes of RAM instead of 8 gigabyteswith the option to go up to 32 gigabytes depending on the processor. As for storage, it can be expanded up to 2 terabytes for an additional cost, but starts with 256 GB.
