Macs</a> with the M4 chip: the <a href="https://amzn.to/3O2Z5gB">MacBook Pro</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3UKjr2b">iMac</a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4hHq27e">Mac mini</a>. That’s about half of the Mac lineup, leaving the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. Among the two remaining desktops, the Mac Studio is definitely the more popular one – though it’s a bit outdated, still sporting the M2 Max and M2 Ultra.

revealing the start of its M4 Mac line this week. The M4 iMac was the first M4 Mac announced, and M4 versions of the MacBook Pro are also expected this week alongside a redesigned Mac mini. However, we won’t have to wait for an official announcement to get our first look at the new Mac mini. We also now know top specs for the yet-to-be-announced M4 Pro chip.</p> <a data-layer-pagetype="post" data-layer-postcategory="m4,mac-mini" data-layer-viewtype="taxonomy-ninetofive_guides" data-post-id="975631" href="https://9to5mac.com/2024/10/28/m4-mac-mini-leak/#more-975631" class="more-link"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 39 38" class="icon-expand"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M38.71 20H0v-3h38.71z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M18 37.9V0h3v37.9z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg> <span class="open">Expand</span> <span class="opening">Expanding</span> <span class="close">Close</span></a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article standard"> <ul class="article__meta-guides fs-xs"> <li class="meta__guide"><a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/imac/">iMac</a></li> <li class="meta__guide"><a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/m4/">M4</a></li> </ul> <h2 class="h1"><a class="article__title-link" href="https://9to5mac.com/2024/10/28/m4-imac-8k-120/">New M4 iMac is the first to support 8K output at 120Hz [Update: removed]</a></h2> <div class="post-meta flex"> <a class="author__image-link" href="https://9to5mac.com/author/filipeesposito/"> <img alt='Avatar for Filipe Espósito' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/36d1bcbba2ffa3509f294100b9af0388?s=18&d=mm&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/36d1bcbba2ffa3509f294100b9af0388?s=36&d=mm&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-18 photo author-gravatar' height='18' width='18' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </a> <span class="author__link"><a href="https://9to5mac.com/author/filipeesposito/" title="Posts by Filipe Espósito" rel="author">Filipe Espósito</a></span> <span class="meta__post-date">Oct 28 2024 - 3:33 pm PT</span> <div class="meta__comment-count"> <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2024/10/28/m4-imac-8k-120/?extended-comments=1#comments" class="comments flex"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 30 30" class="icon-comment"><path fill="currentColor" d="M0 0v19.139h5v4.784h5V30l7.94-6.077H30V4.785h-5V0zm2.5 2.392h20v2.393H5v11.961H2.5zm5 4.785h20v14.354H17.06l-4.56 3.49v-3.49h-5zm3.75 3.589v2.392h12.5v-2.392zm0 4.784v2.392h7.5V15.55z" /></svg> 3 Comments </a> </div> </div> <figure class="img-border"> <a class="article__image-link" href="https://9to5mac.com/2024/10/28/m4-imac-8k-120/"> <img width="1600" height="800" src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/10/m4-imac.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600" class=" wp-post-image" alt="M4 iMac" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/10/m4-imac.jpg?w=320&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1 320w, https://i0.wp.com/9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/10/m4-imac.jpg?w=640&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/10/m4-imac.jpg?w=1024&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/10/m4-imac.jpg?w=1500&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1 1500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" /> </a> </figure> <div class="article__content"> <div class="article__excerpt"> <p><strong>Update 6:18am ET, October 29</strong>: Apple has removed mentions of support for 8K at 120Hz from the iMac tech specs page. </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>8-core CPU and GPU M4 iMac: One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz</li> <li>10-core CPU and GPU M4 iMac: Up to two external displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz or one external display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz</li> </ul> <p>Apple has confirmed to <em>9to5Mac</em> that the mention of 8K at 120Hz support on its website was an error.
