24-Inch M1 iMac

New colors, new chip, and much, more

- By Roman Loyola

Silver and black had a good 13-plus-year run, but in April Apple put an end to it and started a colorful new chapter for its all-in-one Mac, the iMac. The colors aren’t all that’s new; the iMac features Apple’s new M1 system on a chip, new sizes, and a lot more. Here are the top five features of Apple’s new all-in-one.

NEW DESIGN WITH A RAINBOW OF COLORS

The iMac is now available in blue, green, orange, pink, purple, and silver with a matching Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. (You might even be able to match a new iMac with the colored iPad Air [fave.co/3xSSsUM] if you bought one of those recently.)

The new iMac has an elegant, minimal look compared to its predecessor. The bezels around the display are much smaller than on the previous iMac, but it still has a “chin” below the display that houses the iMac’s internals (though it’s much thinner). The chin doesn’t have the Apple logo on the front. Instead, it’s on the back, where you’ll also find two Thunderbolt ports and two USB-C ports. The tapered design is gone, and the new iMac is now 11.5 millimeters thick.
