Apple has just dropped the new iMac, and it’s got some serious upgrades. Powered by the M4 chip, this sleek all-in-one is faster, more powerful, and packed with new features that will make your workspace (and workflow) feel fresh and smoother. There’s also a new update: the macOS Sequoia, which was announced at Apple WWDC 2024 back in June. Plus, it comes in seven vibrant colours, so your iMac can be as unique as you are.
It’s a desktop for all—whether you’re a creative pro, a gamer, or just someone who likes their tech to look as good as it performs, the new iMac is definitely worth checking out.
What’s New? The M4 Chip
The biggest upgrade is the M4 chip. The new chip makes the iMac up to 1.7x faster than the previous M1 model. That means switching between apps like Safari and Microsoft Excel will feel like you’re flying through them. Imagine working on an Excel spreadsheet for your side hustle, then instantly jumping into a Zoom call without a hitch. It’s that quick.
For the gamers out there: with the new GPU, the iMac handles even the most graphics-heavy games (like the upcoming Civilization VII) up to 2.1x faster. So, if you’re the type to unwind with some serious gaming after work, the iMac’s got you covered—expect smooth frame rates and zero lag.
Content creators, listen up. If you’re into photo editing or making videos, the iMac is now up to 2.1x faster in apps like Photoshop and Premiere Pro. When you’re editing a photo, applying a filter, or trimming a video, you won’t have to sit there waiting for things to load.
A Display That Stands Out
Just when you thought the iMac’s display couldn’t get any better, think again. The 24-inch 4.5K Retina display is already gorgeous, but now you can get it with an optional nano-texture glass. This reduces glare, so you can put your iMac anywhere—even in a room with tons of natural light (like a sunny living room or a bright office) without worrying about reflections.
Whether you’re watching your favourite Netflix show, editing photos, or just scrolling through Instagram, the colour accuracy and sharpness on this display will make everything look crystal clear.
Fun, Fresh Colours
Apple is bringing back the fun, with even more shades to choose from. The new iMac comes in seven vibrant colours, including green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, and blue, alongside the classic ‘Apple’ silver—there’s an option for everyone’s aesthetic. And it’s not just about the colour on the outside. Each iMac comes with a colour-matched Magic Keyboard and Mouse, so everything matches perfectly.
macOS Sequoia: The Smart Upgrade
The new iMac runs on macOS Sequoia, which brings a ton of new features. If you’re an iPhone user, you’ll love iPhone Mirroring. It lets you interact with your iPhone’s apps and notifications right from your iMac. So, you can reply to messages or check notifications without picking up your phone. Safari has gotten even better too, with new tools like Highlights to quickly pull up important info from websites, and Distraction Control to hide things you don’t need to see. So whether you’re working on a report or just looking for recipes, Safari will keep you focused.
For gamers, the Personalized Spatial Audio and improvements to Game Mode will make your gaming experience more immersive.
All About Connectivity
With Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, you can plug in everything from an external hard drive to two 6K monitors if you need more screen real estate. That means you could have multiple projects open at once—perfect for creative types or anyone who needs to juggle tasks.
It also supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, so your internet and wireless devices will run faster than ever. Plus, with Touch ID, you can securely unlock your iMac or make online payments with just your fingerprint.
The latest iMac with the powerful M4 is a piece of tech that’s both functional and stylish. A desktop that can handle it all—from multitasking between apps, editing photos, and gaming, to working from home. It’s an option for any first-timer or regular Apple user. The new iMac starts from RM 5,799 to RM 7,549. It’s available for purchase in-store and online.
