The iMac "M4" 10-Core CPU/10-Core GPU/4 "Thunderbolt 4" (2024) model features a 4.4 GHz Apple M4 processor with 10 cores (4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 120GB/s of memory bandwidth, 16 GB or 24 GB of onboard "unified" RAM, and a 256 GB or 512 GB onboard SSD. Both the RAM and the SSD can be custom configured at the time of initial system purchase, but not upgraded subsequently.

This all is housed in a wafer thin aluminum case with flat edges that includes a 23.5" 4480x2520, 218 PPI, LED-backlit, "True Tone" widescreen "Retina 4.5K" display mounted on a thin aluminum stand. This specific model has six two-tone color options -- blue (pictured), green, purple, pink, orange, and yellow -- as well as a "classic" uniform silver color. It also has an integrated 12 megapixel Center Stage camera with "Desk View" support and 1080p video recording, a "studio-quality three-mic array" and a "high-fidelity six-speaker system" that supports Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos.

Connectivity includes four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 3.5 mm headphone jack conveniently mounted on the left edge of the display, Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), and Bluetooth 5.3. Gigabit Ethernet is provided via a port on the power brick by default.
