Get Ready to Mount Your New iMac: Apple Introduces VESA Mount Option

In recent years, the tech giant has been steadily improving its product line by listening to customer feedback and incorporating suggestions into its design. The latest addition to this trend is the introduction of a VESA mount option for its new iMacs. This move comes as a relief to users who were disappointed by the lack of any kind of VESA mounting option on the new iMac design.

For those unaware, a VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mount adapter allows users to mount their iMac to a wall or a stand, providing greater flexibility and convenience in terms of placement. The built-in stand option may be nice, but it's not always practical for everyone. That's why third-party designers will likely create accessories to meet this need.

Apple has actually improved things for those seeking a VESA mount compared to previous generations. The company now offers the smaller 21.5-inch model in a VESA-compatible configuration, which was lacking before. Both options are available from Bretford and come with an additional mount arm that allows users to place a MacBook or mount a second display/iMac on the same stand.

The option to buy a VESA Mount iMac is now available directly from the Apple Store at checkout, although it does carry a $40 premium over non-VESA counterparts. The VESA Mount variety of iMac includes just the iMac itself, with stand and wall mount hardware sold separately, along with the power cord, wireless keyboard, and wireless Magic Mouse included with the standard versions of the iMac.

The availability of this option comes as welcome news to users who were saddened by the lack of any VESA-mounting option on the new iMac design. Shipping estimates currently stand at 7-10 days for the new variety of iMacs. With this update, Apple demonstrates its commitment to customer satisfaction and willingness to adapt to changing needs.

For those interested in taking advantage of this new feature, it's essential to know that the VESA Mount option is a separate line from the standard version, so buyers will have to choose whether they want VESA or stand-mounted all-in-one computers at the outset.
