Apple sells its new iMac in both a standalone version and a VESA-compatible variant, meaning users who want to use their own mounts should ensure they select the right model.
Technology giant Cupertino on Tuesday announced a new 24-inch iMac soda 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 includes built-in support for users who want easy desktop setup. However, users who want to use their own mounting system should try not to buy the model with a bracket.
Instead, Apple has a 24-inch iMac with a built-in VESA mount adapter. With a standard four-screw mounting on the back, users can install the VESA variant on multiple 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 compatible computers.
Also, users should keep in mind that the input 24-inch iMac only comes in blue, green, pink and silver. The 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 cheaper iMac. This model is only equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, while the more expensive variants have an additional pair of USB-C ports.
