Apple lightly refreshed its all-in-one desktop computer for the first time in more than two years at its primetime "Scary Fast" October event Monday — and you can preorder it now before it launches in early November.
The latest 24-inch iMac features the company's all-new M3 chip with an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU, which it's hyping as "up to 2x faster" than the 2021 model's M1 chip. (The standard, non-Pro/Max M3 chip is the same silicone powering Apple's new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, for the record.) It also comes with support for WiFi 6E and up to a chunky 24GB of RAM.

That's the extent of the new iMac's upgrades over its predecessor, which sported the same 4.5K Retina display, 1080p webcam, six-speaker setup, slim profile, and rainbow of color options: pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver (though they look a little punchier and less pastel). It even had the same starting price of $1,299, which got you an identical base configuration with an 8-core GPU, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of storage.

It's a very subtle update, but that may not be a bad thing: The 2021 24-inch iMac won a Mashable Choice Award for its sleek form factor and peppy performance, with former Mashable tech reporter Brenda Stolyar deeming it "the ideal at-home iMac." This is basically the same computer, but even peppier.
That said, the M3 model will probably appeal most to users who are still clinging to older PCs like the Intel-based iMacs: It doesn't seem like a big enough jump from the M1 version to warrant an immediate next-gen upgrade.
The new iMac is available for preorder via Amazon, the Apple Store, and Best Buy at the time of writing and formally arrives on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
