Its beauty is way more than screen deep.
All-new quad-core processors. Advanced graphics. Thunderbolt
technology. FaceTime HD. iMac is a desktop workhorse disguised as an
all-in-one wonder.
Features:
Talk about screen appeal.
LED backlighting. One bright idea.
Full brightness with no waiting. That’s the advantage of the LED-backlit iMac display. Unlike displays that take time to warm up before they reach maximum brightness, an LED-backlit display is instantly on and uniformly bright. LED backlighting also lets you finely tune the iMac display to suit the ambient light in even the dimmest room.
More pixels. Better picture.
The 21.5-inch iMac features 1920-by-1080 resolution. The 27-inch iMac
boasts even greater resolution of 2560-by-1440. That’s a whopping 78
percent more pixels than the 21.5-inch model. And more pixels mean
images look crisp and true to life. A 1000:1 contrast ratio gives you
more vibrant colors and blacker blacks. All in a 16:9 aspect ratio — the
same as an HDTV.
Stunning from every angle.
The iMac display looks great from any seat in the house, thanks to a premium display technology called in-plane switching (IPS). IPS gives you a bright picture with excellent color — even if you’re viewing the display from the side.
Next-generation quad-core Intel processors.
Powered by quad-core processors, the new iMac is our fastest yet —
up to 70 percent faster than the previous generation. Every model in the
lineup comes standard with the latest Intel Core i5 quad-core
processor. You even have the option to configure the 21.5- or 27-inch
iMac with the Intel Core i7, the fastest quad-core processor available.
But why stop there? Add up to 16GB of DDR3 memory and an ultrafast 256GB
solid-state drive, and you’ve got an all-in-one that can handle just
about anything.
All-new advanced AMD Radeon HD graphics.
With advanced AMD Radeon HD graphics
processors across the line, iMac performs even better than before — up
to three times better, in fact. So you see more frames per second in 3D
games, and you can edit HD home videos with more speed and
responsiveness than you ever thought possible.
Thunderbolt. The fastest, most versatile I/O in a desktop.
Ultrafast and ultraflexible, the Thunderbolt port features two
10-Gbps data channels for data transfer that’s up to 12 times faster
than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB
2.0. And it offers unprecedented expansion capabilities for a new
generation of high-performance peripherals. The new 27-inch iMac gives
you not just one but two Thunderbolt ports. So in an instant, iMac can
go from a family computer to a filmmaker’s dream machine.
The new FaceTime HD camera. The better to see you with.
Get more of your friends in the picture with crisp, widescreen HD
video. The new FaceTime HD camera lets you make FaceTime video calls in
720p resolution. The picture is so clear, it will look and feel almost
like you’re in the same room. Make HD calls from one new iMac to another
or to a new MacBook Pro. You can also make video calls to other
Intel-based Mac computers, iPad 2, iPhone 4, or the latest iPod touch.
Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. Multi-Touch by choice.
Now you can choose the perfect cord-free setup. When you buy your
new iMac from the Apple Online Store, you have the option to swap Magic
Mouse for Magic Trackpad at no extra cost. With Magic Mouse, you can
perform simple gestures across its smooth, seamless top shell. Scroll in
any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with
two, and click and double-click anywhere. For full gesture support, opt
for Magic Trackpad. Made with a touch-friendly all-glass surface, Magic
Trackpad is the largest Multi-Touch trackpad made by Apple. So there’s
plenty of room for scrolling, swiping, pinching, rotating, and then
some.
It’s very well connected.
Thunderbolt
The new Thunderbolt port lets you daisy-chain as many as six devices
plus an additional display. So with just one port you can create the
ultimate do-anything desktop. If you choose the new 27-inch iMac, a
second Thunderbolt port lets you expand even more. And since Thunderbolt
is based on DisplayPort technology, you can plug any Mini DisplayPort
display right into the Thunderbolt port.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The latest 802.11n wireless technology in iMac makes it effortless to
connect to a Wi-Fi network. iMac automatically finds available networks
and lets you join them with a click. Bluetooth wireless technology is
also built in, so you can use your favorite wireless accessories right
out of the box.
USB and FireWire
Bring on your iPad, iPod, digital camera, mobile phone, and external hard drive — there’s no shortage of ports on iMac. Four USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port give you plenty of peripheral possibilities.
SDXC
Transfer photos and videos to your iMac as fast as you take them. The built-in SDXC card slot supports SD and SDHC cards with capacities up to 2TB. Just insert your camera’s memory card and import your photos to iPhoto.
