iMac
The iMac is all new with a completely redesigned case. It
now features an aluminum unibody enclosure with much larger
displays than their predecessors. Now included is a 21.5"
or a 27" LED backlit IPS display. Also increased was the
processor speed with quad-core Intel Core i5 processors
across the lineup. Also standard across the lineup is 4GB
of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, Airport and Bluetooth wireless,
iSight Web cam, SD Card Reader and so much more. One major
new addition is Thunderbolt. The new 21.5” iMac has 1
Thunderbolt port while the 27” model has 2
Thunderbolt ports. As with previous 27" models is the
ability to use the display for other devices, such as a
blu-ray or DVD player, making your 27" iMac that much more
versatile (cables and
adapters sold separately). Also included
is Apple's wireless keyboard, and either the wireless Magic
Mouse or magic trackpad, both with multitouch technology.
