iMac

From £1,249

Ever since the Bondi Blue iMac debuted in 1998, Apple’s all-inone desktop computer has been setting standards in gorgeous design and powerful performance. And Apple’s April 2021 Spring Loaded event delivered the new, colourful 24in iMac, available in Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Silver. The larger screen has also been bumped up to a 4.5K Retina display with a 4480x2520 resolution.

Inside, Apple’s own M1 chip combines with macOS Monterey, and Apple promises up to 85% faster CPU performance and up to two times faster graphics performance than the 21.5-inch iMac models. All the models come with 8GB of unified memory (upgradeable to 16GB). The 8-core CPU/7-core GPU option comes with a 256GB SSD (configurable to 512GB or 1TB). The 8-core CPU/8-core GPU versions come with either a 256GB or 512GB SSD and can be upgraded to 1TB or 2TB.

The new iMacs all feature a 1080p FaceTime camera, a high-fidelity six-speaker system, a studio-quality three-mic array and support for spatial audio. You’ll also find two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports on each model, with middle- and high-end options gaining two additional USB-C ports. Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI and VGA are supported using adaptors. All
