Apple has officially launched its latest iMac, now powered by the impressive M4 chip, designed to deliver superior performance in a sleek, ultra-thin package. This new all-in-one desktop is not just a powerhouse; it also comes in an array of vibrant colors, including green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver, making it a stylish addition to any workspace.
With the M4 chip, the new iMac boasts speeds that are up to 1.7 times faster for everyday tasks and an astounding 2.1 times faster for more demanding workflows such as gaming and photo editing, compared to the previous M1 model. The Neural Engine within the M4 elevates the iMac’s capabilities in artificial intelligence, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with Apple Intelligence—an innovative personal intelligence system designed to enhance user productivity while maintaining privacy.
The iMac features a brilliant 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, now available with a nano-texture glass option that significantly reduces glare without compromising on image quality. This makes it ideal for placement in bright environments, whether in a sunlit living room or a bustling storefront.
Additionally, the new iMac is equipped with a state-of-the-art 12MP Centre Stage camera, which includes a Desk View feature. This allows for more engaging video calls by keeping everyone centered in the frame, perfect for family gatherings or professional meetings. The audio experience is also top-notch, thanks to a high-quality three-microphone array and an immersive six-speaker sound system.
Connectivity is enhanced with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, enabling super-fast data transfer and the ability to connect up to two high-resolution 6K external displays. The iMac supports both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and incorporates Touch ID for secure access and transactions, making it not just powerful but also user-friendly.
Starting at RM5,799, the iMac comes standard with 16GB of unified memory, which can be configured up to 32GB, alongside options for storage ranging from 256GB to 1TB SSD. Apple’s commitment to sustainability is evident in this model, with 100% recycled aluminum in the stand and a fully fiber-based packaging, aligning with the company’s goal to eliminate plastic from packaging by 2025.
Availability begins soon, with orders accessible through Apple’s website, the Apple Store app, and various authorized retailers. With its striking design, enhanced performance, and a suite of new features, the new iMac is poised to capture the hearts of users ranging from families to creative professionals, heralding a new era for Apple’s desktop computers.
