With Apple’s new iMac going on sale today, the new iMac 21.5 inch is available now, and the new iMac 27 inch model will be arriving in stores next month.
It hasn’t taken long for images to emerge of the innards of the new iMac 21.5 inch system, for all to see. Although not an official teardown of the new iMac, the quickly captured images do reveal what is powering Apple’s new iMac system.
Apple explains on their website: “Sit down in front of the new iMac and something incredible happens: The world around you seems to disappear, and you lose yourself in the big, beautiful display. To create an experience this immersive, we pushed every limit, rethought every detail, and advanced iMac in the most astonishing ways.”
Design and Display
The new iMac models feature a stunningly thin design, with edges that measure just 5mm. This sleek profile is achieved through a process called friction-stir welding, which is typically used in the aerospace industry. The display itself is a marvel, with the 21.5 inch model offering a 1920×1080 resolution and the 27 inch model boasting a 2560×1440 resolution. Both displays use IPS technology, providing wide viewing angles and vibrant colors.
Apple has also reduced the reflection on the screen by 75%, making it easier to use in bright environments. The display is laminated directly to the glass, which not only improves image quality but also makes the device thinner.
Performance and Hardware
Under the hood, the new iMacs are powered by Intel’s latest processors. The 21.5 inch model comes with a quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, while the 27 inch model offers options up to a quad-core Intel Core i7. These processors are paired with up to 32GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance even when running demanding applications.
Storage options include traditional hard drives, Fusion Drives, and solid-state drives (SSDs). The Fusion Drive is a hybrid storage solution that combines the large capacity of a hard drive with the high performance of an SSD. This allows for faster boot times and quicker access to frequently used files and applications.
Graphics performance is also impressive, with the 21.5 inch model featuring an NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics card, and the 27 inch model offering options up to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX. These powerful graphics cards make the new iMacs suitable for gaming, video editing, and other graphics-intensive tasks.
