iMac Specifications & Reviews
Apple updated the iMac for 2010 with Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors across the board, in additon to beefing up graphics with ATI Radeon HD video cards. We had a chance to test the 27" iMac. First off, let's just get it out of the way and state that this is a large computer that arrives in a huge box, and it's pretty heavy. Ok, that said, our initial reaction is wow. What a display. In either the 27" model we tested or an available 21.5" display, these iMacs are the first to feature LED-backlit displays with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio for HD. While some may not like the glossy external treatment, the new displays feature rich colors and are extremely sharp. We could get lost in them all day.
If you're in the market for a desktop Mac and on a budget, you can't beat the iMac for value. While the Mac mini has a lower sticker price, you don't get a whole lot with it - just a slower Core 2 Duo CPU, no keyboard, no mouse, no display, a generally inferior architecture. The iMac has a 3.5" 7200 RPM desktop hard drive and an 8x SuperDrive standard. Not to mention a drop-dead gorgeous display. It's not hard to divine where the value lies in this saw-off. The amount of standard bells and whistles and bundled software, plus a built-in widescreen display make the iMac, whichever model you choose, and awesome deal. The biggest knock against the iMac is its limited expandability, but an awful lot of Mac users never upgrade from the hardware configuration that their computer ships with, and if they do, it's usually RAM, for which the iMac has ample headroom for most of us.
The base 21" iMac sports a 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB SATA hard drive, ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics, and a 8x SuperDrive for $1199. A 21" 3.2GHz i3 CPU model with 4GB RAM, a 1TB SATA hard drive, ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics, and an 8x SuperDrive sells for $1499. The 27" iMacs start with a 3.2GHz i3 model (4GB/1TB/ATI Radeon HD 5670) for $1699. The top-of-the-line 27" model features a new 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 Quad-Core CPU (4GB/1TB), ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics, and a $1999 price tag. A 2.93GHz Quad-Core i7 CPU is a $200 CTO extra.
