21.5 - and 27 - inch displays.

Today’s iMac has come a long way from the first 15-inch iMac.  Take one look and you’ll see just how far.  A 21.5 - or 27 - inch display with edge-to-edge glass covers nearly the entire front of the enclosure.  When all you see is the display, nothing gets between you and what’s onscreen.  Films, TV programmes, FaceTime HD video calls, websites, photos - everything looks stunning on the widescreen 16:9 iMac display.

LED backlighting.  One bright idea.

Full brightness with no waiting.  That’s the advantage of the LED-backlit iMac display.  Unlike displays that take time to warm up before they reach maximum brightness, an LED-backlit display is instantly on and uniformly bright.  LED backlighting also lets you finely tune the iMac display to suit the ambient light in even the dimmest room.

More pixels.  Better picture.

The 21.5 - inch iMac features 1920x1080 resolution.  The 27 - inch iMac boasts even greater resolution of 2560x1440.  That’s a whopping 78 per cent more pixels mean images look crisp and true to life.  A 1000:1 contrast ratio gives you more vibrant colours and blacker blacks.  All in a 16:9 aspect ratio - the same as an HDTV.

Stunning from every angle.

The iMac display looks great from any seat in the house, thanks to a premium display technology called in-plane switching (IPS).  IPS gives you a bright picture with excellent colour - even if you’re viewing the display from the side.

Next-generation quad-core Intel processors.

Powered by quad-core processors, the new iMac is our fastest yet - up to 80 per cent faster than the previous generation.  Every model in the lineup comes as standard with the latest INtel Core i5 quad-core processor..  You even have the option to configure the 21.5 - or 27 - inch iMac with the INtel Core i7, the fastest quad-core processor available.  But why stop there?  Add up to 16GB of DDR3 memory and an ultra-fast 256GB solid-state drive, and you have an all-in-one that can handle just about anything.

All-new advanced AMD Radeon HD graphics.

With advanced AMD Radeon HD graphics processors across the line, iMac performs even better than before - up to three times better, in fact.  So you see more frames per second in 3D games, and you can edit HD home videos with more speed and responsiveness than you ever thought possible.

Thunderbolt.  The fastest, most versatile I/O in a desktop.

Ultra-fast and ultra-flexible, the Thunderbolt port features two 10Gpbs data channels for data transfer that’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB2.0. And it offers unprecedented expansion capabilities for a new generation of high-performance peripherals.  The new 27 - inch iMac gives you not just one but two Thunderbolt ports.  So in an instant, iMac can go from a family computer to a filmmaker’s dream machine.

The new FaceTime HD camera.  The better to see you with.

Get more of your friends in the picture with crisp, widescreen HD video.  The new FaceTime HD camera lets you make FaceTime video calls in 720p resolution.  The picture is so clear, it will look and feel almost like you’re in the same room.  Make HD calls from one new iMac to another or to a new MacBook Pro.  You can also make video calls to other Intel-based Mac computers, iPad 2, iPhone 4 or the latest iPod touch.
