[![](https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/apple_new-imac-spring21_lifestyle01_04202021.jpg) ](https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/apple_new-imac-spring21_lifestyle01_04202021.jpg) Apple has finally [given the world a dramatic new iMac redesign](https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/20/apple-introduces-a-colorful-new-imac/), aimed at the company’s long-standing goal of “making the computer disappear.” From a report: _Naturally, the latest version of the 24-inch all-in-one desktop is built around the company’s new proprietary M1 chips. The screen sports a 4.5K Retina Display, coupled with a 1080p camera – a first for the Mac line, and a sign the company is taking both audio and video more seriously as these products are serving as a kind of life line for the work from home crowd. True Tone is, naturally, on board for better color balance, and sound have been improved with six-speaker setup._ _The new devices are significantly thinner – with overall volume reduced by half, according to the company. The rear is also flat, instead of curved. All told, the company says it’s up to 85% faster than the last model, coupled with a GPU that’s up to twice as fast and 3x the machine learning. Around back are two Thunderbolt ports and a new magnetic power adapter that also delivers Ethernet. The system comes in seven colors. It starts at $1,299._ ---

Meanwhile my workstation has twice as many cores, 75% higher clock speed, four times as much RAM, twelve times as much storage, 1,243 times as many GPU cores, 30% higher GPU clock speed, better compatability and deep learning capability. Well done Apple. Keep up the “innovation”. 👍 ---

CPU is a Ryzen 9 3950X 4.7 GHz, GPU is an RTX 3080. As a professional Data Scientist, I think computer hardware is something I have at least a working knowledge of. In fairness, as you pointed out, the specs on a Mac can be upgraded to somewhat decent levels, for the bargain price of $8,728.00. If being trendy is worth that much to you, that’s your deal. ---
