Apple sells its new iMac both in a standalone version and in a version compatible with VESA, which means that users who want to use their own media should make sure they choose the right model.
Technical giant Cupertino on Tuesday announced a 24-inch iMac refresh equipped with an M1 chip, significantly updated audio and video capabilities and a host of other features.
As with previous iMac models, the standard version of the iMac comes with built-in support for users who want a simple desktop setup. However, users who want to use their own mounting system should be careful not to buy the model with a stand.
Instead, Apple has a 24-inch iMac with a built-in VESA mount adapter. With a standard bracket with four screws in the back, users can install the VESA version on a variety of arms or brackets.
The VESA-compatible iMac is available in the same configurations as the standard model. All VESA configurations are also priced the same as their stand-equipped counterparts.
In addition, users should note that the entry-level 24-inch iMac only comes in blue, green, pink and silver. Higher price levels are available in the other colors, Yellow, Orange and Purple.
Other model differences include the lack of two additional USB-C ports on the cheapest iMac. The model is equipped with only two Thunderbolt 3 ports, while the more expensive versions have an additional pair of USB-C ports.
