Todays iMac has come a long way from the first 15-inch iMac. Take one look and youll see just how far. A 21.5-inch or 27-inch display with edge-to-edge glass covers nearly the entire front of the enclosure.
When a display has more pixels, you need to push more light through them to achieve the best picture possible. LED backlighting in iMac does exactly that, with remarkable brightness and efficiency.
The 21.5-inch iMac features 1920-by-1080 HD resolution. Apple engineers could simply have stretched that resolution up and out for the 27-inch iMac. Instead, they took the display well beyond HD with 2560-by-1440 resolution. Thats 78 percent more pixels than the 21.5-inch iMac.
The iMac display is designed to look great from almost any angle. A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) makes this possible.
iMac embodies simple design that eliminates desktop clutter. So naturally, it comes standard with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the wireless Magic Mouse. You can also add the new Magic Trackpad.
Now all iMac models come standard with Intel Core processors built on an new architecture. Based on Intels 32-nanometer process technology, these processors set new benchmarks for iMac performance.
Many iMac models now benefit from Turbo Boost technology built into the Intel Core series processors. If youre using a processor-intensive application such as Aperture 3 or Final Cut Pro that benefits from extra performance, Turbo Boost dynamically increases the speed of available cores.
Every iMac includes powerful discrete graphics, meaning the graphics processor is separate from the CPU. So whether youre an amateur filmmaker or an avid gamer, iMac gives you faster, smoother, crisper graphics no matter which model you choose.
