All-in-One desktop with M1 silicon

This Apple iMac integrates the computer behind a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display. The M1 chip combines an 8-core CPU with four performance and four efficiency cores, an 8-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. Eight gigabytes of unified memory and a 256 GB SSD handle everyday workloads. The 11.5 mm thin enclosure arrives in Silver for home or office use.

Fanless design runs cool and silent

The M1 architecture operates without a cooling fan, so the system stays quiet during typical tasks such as browsing, document editing and video calls. The 500-nit panel reaches full brightness without audible noise. Power draw remains low thanks to the efficiency cores handling background work while the performance cores activate only when needed.

Replaces older Intel-based all-in-ones

Users moving from a previous-generation iMac gain a thinner profile, higher pixel density and native 1080p FaceTime camera with computational video. The jump is worth it for anyone who wants a quieter desk and faster wake from sleep. Buyers who need more than 256 GB of internal storage or user-upgradable memory should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the 24-inch 4.5K Retina iMac and what step do people often miss?

Plug in the power cord, press the Touch ID button on the keyboard, then follow the on-screen Setup Assistant to select language, connect to Wi-Fi, and sign in with an Apple ID; the step many skip is enabling automatic macOS updates during the initial configuration.

What maintenance or replacement will the 256 GB SSD and 8 GB unified memory need later?

The SSD and memory are soldered to the logic board and cannot be upgraded or replaced by the user; keep at least 10 percent of the 256 GB free for wear-leveling and rely on Apple Authorised Service Providers if storage fails.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads on the M1 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU?

The passive thermal design in the 11.5 mm chassis causes the M1 chip to throttle clock speeds after several minutes of continuous maximum load, reducing sustained performance before any other component reaches its limit.
