Apple is selling its new iMac in both a standalone version and a VESA-compatible variant, meaning users who want to use their own mounts should make sure to choose the right model.
The Cupertino tech giant announced a brand new 24-inch iMac refresh on Tuesday, 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 a built-in kickstand for users who want a simple desk setup. However, users who wish to use their own mounting system should ensure that they do not purchase the model with a stand.
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 different 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 counterparts.
Additionally, users should note that the entry-level 24-inch iMac is only available in blue, green, pink, and silver. The more expensive tiers 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. That model is only equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, while the more expensive variants have an extra pair of USB-C ports.
