iMac From £1,249

Ever since the Bondi Blue iMac debuted in 1998, Apple’s all-in-one desktop computer has been setting standards for design and performance.

The current 24in model is certainly Apple’s finest yet – thanks to its 4.5K (4480x2520) Retina display and the Apple-designed M1 chip, which is available with either an 8-core CPU/7-core GPU at the entry-level, or an 8-core CPU/8-core GPU on the mid-range and top-tier versions. All models come with 8GB of memory as standard (upgradeable to 16GB), with solid-state drive (SSD) storage ranging from 256GB on the entry-level and mid-range versions to 512GB on the top tier, although you can add more – up to 1TB on the entry-level and up to 2TB on the mid-range and top-tier models if you wish via Apple’s build-to-order options.

Available in a choice of seven gorgeous colours (Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Blue and Silver), each M1 iMac also comes with a 1080p FaceTime camera, a six-speaker sound system and support for Spatial Audio. You’ll also find two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports on each model, with mid-range and top-tier options gaining two additional USB 3 (USB-C) ports. Prices start at £1,249.
