thin enclosure that's only 5 mm at the edge, the stunning all-in-one
iMac has been updated with a fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core
processor — making it the most powerful iMac yet. And it comes standard
with 8 GB of memory, a 1 TB hard drive, and advanced, high-speed I/O,
including two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3 ports. The iMac also now
supports next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
The 21.5-inch iMac is just 5mm thin at its edge and features a
bright display with 75 percent less reflection.
This version of the 21.5-inch iMac (model ME086LL/A) features a 2.7
GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core processor as well as Intel Iris Pro
integrated graphics, which delivers discrete graphics-level performance. It also comes with OS X Mountain Lion and the iLife software suite, which includes the latest versions of iPhoto,
iMovie, and GarageBand.
Fourth-Generation Intel Core Processor
Since OS X is designed to take advantage of each core, the
fourth-generation Intel Core i5 quad-core processor (based on the latest
Haswell architecture) captures every bit of performance from the
processor. When you need more power for a processor-intensive
application like Aperture or Final Cut Pro, Turbo Boost 2.0
automatically increases the speed of the active cores. And by shifting
core frequency in small increments, Turbo Boost allows the processor to
manage performance without sacrificing efficiency.
Keep your desk clutter free with Wireless Keyboard and Magic
Mouse.
This model is powered by a 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor
with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.2 GHz. It's complemented by Intel Iris
Pro integrated graphics, which delivers a built-in, eye-popping visual
experience — no extra graphics card required.
802.11ac: The New Definition of Fast
The iMac now supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an
802.11ac base station — including the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort
Time Capsule — wireless performance is up to three times faster than
with the previous generation. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well.
Vivid Display
Nothing will distract you from what you're viewing on the iMac's
21.5-inch display thanks to the innovative display design that reduces
reflection by 75 percent while maintaining brilliant color and contrast.
Additionally, in-plane switching (IPS) technology gives you a bright
picture with excellent color from nearly any angle while the LED
backlighting offers instant-on, uniform brightness.
Thunderbolt and USB 3
Delivering an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer speeds in
both directions, the ultrafast and ultraflexible Thunderbolt port allows
you to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than
12 times faster than with FireWire 800. You can also daisy-chain up to
six Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals without using a hub. Thunderbolt
also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with
existing adapters for HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays.
The iMac also comes with four USB 3 ports, enabling you to connect
your external hard drive and transfer large files in seconds instead of
minutes with speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2. And you can
connect all your USB-compatible devices, including your iPhone, iPad,
iPod, or digital camera.
Clutter-Free Desktop
You'll be able to cut the cord with the included Wireless Keyboard
and Magic Mouse, both of which connect to the iMac using Bluetooth
wireless technology. Additionally, the Magic Mouse features a seamless
Multi-Touch surface that enables you to use the same intuitive gestures
used on the MacBook trackpad to easily scroll through long documents or
swipe to move forward or backward through a collection of web pages or
photos.
And with the FaceTime HD camera placed above the display in the
iMac's thin aluminum and glass design, you'll be able to make video
calls in HD 720p resolution to friends and family on another iMac or
MacBook. Additionally, you'll be able to connect to those using a
FaceTime-enabled iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
Apple Magic Mouse
Magic Mouse is unlike any other mouse you've ever used. The
entire mouse is the button, so you can click anywhere. And it can be
configured as either a single- or two-button mouse.
Apple Wireless Keyboard
The sleek aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard lets you type in front
of your computer, on your lap, or anywhere within range. It's also
incredibly thin and streamlined, so it sits on your desk surrounded
by nothing but glorious space.
