A direct hit: the new iMac is really fast and yet pleasantly quiet, the fans are barely audible. Even gaming is possible, albeit with reduced screen resolution. The screen is a stunner with its enormous richness of detail and crisp and very accurately displayed colours. For a glossy display, reflections are kept within limits...
Apple iMac – 2021
256 GB, 8 GB, M1, M1Product details
This unique design is only possible thanks to M1, the first system on a chip for the Mac. It makes the iMac so thin and compact that it fits in more places than ever before. M1 integrates processor, graphics, memory and more on a single chip. This made it possible to fit an entire computer into such a small space that it practically disappears.
On the fascinating 24" 4.5K Retina display, you can see everything in clear, fantastic detail. The large P3 colour space uses over a billion colours to bring what you see to life. Images shine with a brilliant 500 nits of brightness. The anti-reflective coating ensures more comfortable viewing and readability. And for a more natural viewing experience, True Tone technology automatically adjusts the colour temperature of your display to the ambient light.
Whether you're editing photos, writing presentations or watching your series and films, everything looks fantastic on the iMac. Never before has there been a camera system in a Mac. It has twice the resolution for higher quality video calls. A larger sensor that captures more light. And the M1's advanced Image Signal Processor (ISP), which significantly improves image quality. So you'll always look good - whether you're on a video call for employees or meeting friends or family online.
