Apple iMac

Big, beautiful displays. 21.5-inch 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-inch 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. Videos,
websites, photos — everything looks stunning on the 16:9 widescreen iMac display.

LED backlighting.
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. Because the LED backlight doesn’t take up much space, the iMac enclosure stays thin — even with all the high-performance components inside.

High resolution.
The 21.5-inch iMac features 1920x1080 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 2560x1440 resolution. That’s 78 per cent more pixels than the 21.5-inch iMac.

IPS technology.
The iMac display is designed to look great from almost any angle. A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) makes this possible. Whether you’re sitting in front of the display or standing off to the side, you’ll get a great picture with superb colour.

All-in-one simplicity.
Evolution of iMac.
It was a great idea then, and it’s a great idea now. The all-in-one design of the first flat-panel iMac cleaned up the desktop. It put everything you need — display, processor, graphics card, hard drive, optical drive, memory and more — inside one simple enclosure. New technology on the inside makes the new iMac a worthy addition to the all-in-one dynasty.

Seamless enclosure.
While you’ll find a collection of ports on the back of iMac, you won’t find much else. A seamless, precision-forged enclosure makes the back one continuous aluminium surface. And there’s only one lead: the power lead.

Cool, quiet components.
The widescreen iMac display allows more room to separate the two hottest components, the CPU and the GPU. This keeps things cool inside the iMac enclosure. Apple engineers also implemented an intelligent control system that monitors temperatures and delivers just the right amount of airflow to critical components. And the three fans inside iMac have been tuned to be ultra-quiet. The result of all this tinkering with heat and sound? A system that operates at 18 decibels when idle — so quiet, you hardly know it’s on.

Details that matter.
Edge-to-edge glass.
The glass that surrounds the LED-backlit display wraps around the edge of the aluminium enclosure.

Tapered pedestal.
Another victory over clutter, the finely tapered aluminium pedestal practically disappears on the desktop.

Redesigned speakers.
New speakers deliver louder, clearer sound with better bass response and less distortion.

A tidier desktop.
iMac embodies simple design that eliminates desktop clutter. So naturally, it comes as standard with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the wireless Magic Mouse. You can also add the new Magic Trackpad.

Magic Mouse with Multi-Touch.
Magic Mouse is designed to do all the things a mouse should do — pointing, clicking and scrolling — but with no scroll wheel, no trackball and no visible button. Magic Mouse uses Multi-Touch technology to let you click, scroll or swipe anywhere on its perfectly smooth, seamless top shell. But the real magic of Magic Mouse is how it knows what you want to do. A chip inside Magic Mouse acts as a brain, detecting the difference between a resting hand, a scrolling finger, a two-finger swipe and a simple click. It’s the smartest mouse we’ve ever made.

The new Magic Trackpad.
Also available for your iMac, the new Magic Trackpad brings the full set of Multi-Touch gestures to the desktop for the first time. It features the same sculpted aluminium design as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, and side by side, the two sit flush at the same angle and height.
