Latest iMac looks great, run faster

Computerworld-remember the old ad campaign for Miller Lite? "Tastes great, less filling."

The latest update to Apple's iMac line, which rolled out in may, in a way reminds me of that. Apple left unchanged the minimalist design that aluminium and glass at the switch to Intel Sandy Bridge processors, AMD graphics chips and add the new Thunderbolt port for high-speed connections with peripherals.

The new iMac still looks great, and it is even faster.

Summarizes what Apple has done with his all-in-ones, with the biggest change to the introduction of the Thunderbolt, a technology that is still definitely ahead of the curve but can prove very popular road.

Just like the previous generation starts this iMac lineup in $ 1,199 for a 21.5-in. model with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution screen and $ 1,699, a 27-in. version, as the Sport of 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. There is also an advanced $ 1,999 model, which comes with a 3.1 GHz quadcore i5 processors. This is the model that Apple provides with my review.

All iMacs have Intel's Core i5 quadcore processors (and you can upgrade to an i7 if you need more speed), a 720 p wide-angle FaceTime camera HD video chat, 4 GB of memory and a minimum of 512 MB of memory. The entry-level model uses an AMD Radeon HD 6750M video card with 512 MB of RAM; pricier iMac rely on AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1 GB of memory. (You can double that to 2 GB on 27-in. iMac, but it'll cost you $ 100.) $ 1,199 model has a 500 GB hard drive, the rest comes with 1TB of storage, expandable to 2 GB, or combined with a solid state drive for a more responsive machinery.

All changes made to the Apple counterpart in the company's previous practice of lineup made up hardware prices and leave untouched, giving a modern all-in-one PC with a sharp, bright screen that is perfect for editing videos, organise/edit pictures, watch streaming video or making your own presentations. Best of all, the iMac shipped with Apple's iLife containing apps--iMovie, iPhoto, Garageband, iDVD, and iWeb. I still haven't found software fairly intuitive--or as easy to use--on the Windows side that beats Suite iLife.

Environmentally conscious, iMac meets Energy Star 5.2 requirements and is classified EPEAT Gold in United States and Canada.

IMac will still form factor in unibody Apple rolled out several years ago. Main iMac chassis is carved from a single slab of aluminum for solid, seamless, quality construction. The design is an immediate getters and this iMac was a draw regardless of who visited, regardless of technical skills. Silver in aluminium and black framed-the glass remains striking; It is best, while still minimalism contains necessary functions. The deep black border around the screen is hidden, for example, HD FaceTime camera and a green lamp, which lights up when the camera is on.

The IMac has the same suite of the ports and wireless networks as before, with a very important addition: the introduction of the new Thunderbolt port.

Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and implemented as DisplayPort connection on Apple products. (If you purchased a new MacBook Pro since February, is the port you have to connect it to a Thunderbolt port.)
