Time for the iMac to shift over to M1! Apple announced a new lineup of iMacs — and in a throwback to the iMacs of yesteryear, these new ones will come in an array of fancy colors. Here are the highlights:
- Built around the absurdly zippy M1 chipset Apple first introduced into its laptops last year.
- 24-inch “4.5K” display.
- At last, a decent webcam! These new iMacs will ship with a 1080p FaceTime camera.
- Pre-orders start April 20, shipping in late May.
- $1,299 gets you an 8-core CPU/7-core GPU setup, while $1,499 will bump it up to 8-core CPU/8-core GPU.
- It’ll come in seven colors: green, yellow, pink, orange, blue, purple and silver. Some colors will only be available in the more expensive model.
- Both models come with a 256 GB SSD, and two Thunderbolt ports. The $1,499 model adds two USB 3 ports.
- Apple will ship a new version of its Bluetooth Magic Keyboard, now complete with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
Remember the colorful iMAC? It’s Back, New iMAC 2021!
