Apple released the latest iMac in late 2024, using their all-powerful M4 chip with their all-in-one desktop. If you’ve been keeping tabs on the iMac, this is a good opportunity to pull the trigger. You can get the M4 iMac for $1,149 (originally $1,299) after a $150 discount, the lowest price since its recent release according to price tracking tools.
The latest iMac comes with the M4 chip, which is about 1.5 times faster than the M2, and of course, comes better prepared to handle AI than previous models. You’ll get 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD of storage, an 8-core CPU, and an 8-core GPU. If you want to double your Thunderbolt 4 ports to four and get a 10-core CPU and GPU, you can upgrade to this even more powerful M4 iMac, which is also at its lowest price of $1,374 (originally $1,499).
Some other improvements include the 12MP Center Stage webcam and USB-C charging ports for the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad. The “nano-texture display” option makes the 4.5K Retina display a bit less prone to glare or reflections.
The design is essentially the same since 2021, according to PCMag’s “excellent” review. One cool new feature that might be useful to you is the ability to mirror your iPhone and your MacBook’s display to the monitor. While it’s not a true external monitor, it sure beats spending more money for the 2022 Studio Display.
The M4 iMac can handle heavy workloads, making it a capable workhorse computer for those looking to work on demanding software for media editing or similar work. Like older iMacs, you can expect the M4 to last many years and get support for Apple well into the future (M1’s still get major updates).
