Apple is updating the iMac with an M4 chip. The new iMac, announced this morning, includes an M4 chip with an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU. The entry-level model costs $1,299 with two USB-C ports, while the higher-end models start at $1,499 and has four USB-C ports.

It’s also bundled with accessories that now use USB-C charging ports instead of Lightning. Like the prior model, the new iMac has a 24-inch 4.5K display. However, Apple is offering a new “nano-texture glass option” that’s supposed to help reduce reflections and glare.

Additionally, the iMac’s base RAM has been doubled to 16GB over the prior model, with the ability to configure it up to 32GB. Apple’s new iMac also comes with a 12MP webcam, along with new Apple Intelligence features that are starting to roll out today, such as AI-powered writing and editing features, as well as a redesigned Siri.

The updated iMac is available to preorder today, with availability starting November 8th. It’s available in seven colors: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver.
