Which iMac should I buy?
With the introduction of the new colorful 24-inch iMac, Apple may have simplified the purchasing decision for many customers. However, the M1 is the first Apple Silicon processor in Mac and comes with some limitations. If you're looking for a cheaper option, don't mind using Intel, or even require Intel, then the other models are still for sale.
24-inch iMac with M1
The 24-inch iMac comes in seven colorsThe 24-inch iMac is the official successor to the 21.5-inch iMac and has been updated with a 4.5K display, M1 processor, and fresh new color options. The move to M1 means the iMac can have a slim design similar to a large iPad Pro with a smaller chin and thin bezel around the display.
The new iMac comes in blue, green, pink, silver, yellow, orange, or purple. The colors available depend on the configuration chosen. All colors are available for the $1,499 and up configurations, and only blue, green, pink, and silver are available for the cheaper $1,299 option.
The $1,299 model has the M1 with an 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU. It has two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and no additional ports. This model ships with a Magic Keyboard that is color-matched, but has no Touch ID.
There are two higher-end models based on the memory configuration. They both have the M1 with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU. They have two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, two USB 3 ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. The model with 256GB of storage is $1,499 and the model with 512GB of storage is $1,699.
The higher-end models come with color-matched Magic Keyboards with integrated Touch ID.

For memory, this iMac maxes out at a whopping 128GB using DDR4 sticks clocked at 2,666MHz. For storage, the base model provides a 256GB SSD whereas the other two base models start at 512GB and range up to 8TB.
