STORE GUIDE

iMac

> From £1,399

> In October 2023, Apple updated its only iMac – the 24in model, so that it now benefits from Apple’s also newly-released M3 chip. You can now choose between an 8-core CPU/8-core GPU at the entry-level, or an 8-core CPU/10-core GPU on the mid-range and top-tier versions. You still get a 4.5K (4480x2520) Retina display, and all models come with 8GB of memory as standard, but this is now upgradeable to 24GB throughout. The solid-state drive (SSD) storage ranges from 256GB on entry-level and mid-range versions to 512GB on the top tier, although you can add up to 1TB on the entry-level and up to 2TB on mid-range and top-tier models.

The entry level version is available in Blue, Green, Pink and Silver, but the mid- and top-tier models are also available in Yellow, Orange, and Purple. Each M3 iMac also comes with a 1080p FaceTime camera, and a six-speaker sound system with support for spatial audio. You’ll also find two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports on each model, with mid-range and top-tier options offering two additional USB 3 (USB-C) ports. Rather surprisingly – and pleasingly – the starting price remains unchanged at £1,399.
