LED backlighting. One bright ideaFull 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.
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 color — 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 70
percent faster than the previous generation. Every model in the lineup
comes 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 ultrafast 256GB solid-state
drive, and you’ve got 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 -a versatile I/O in a desktop
Ultrafast
and ultraflexible, the Thunderbolt port features two 10-Gbps data
channels for data transfer that’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire
800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. 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
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.
It’s very well connected.
Thunderbolt
The
new Thunderbolt port lets you daisy-chain as many as six devices plus
an additional display. So with just one port you can create the ultimate
do-anything desktop.
USB and FireWire
Bring
on your iPad, iPod, digital camera, mobile phone, and external hard
drive — there’s no shortage of ports on iMac. Four USB 2.0 ports and a
FireWire 800 port give you plenty of peripheral possibilities.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The
latest 802.11n wireless technology in iMac makes it effortless to
connect to a Wi-Fi network. iMac automatically finds available networks
and lets you join them with a click. Bluetooth wireless technology is
also built in, so you can use your favorite wireless accessories right
out of the box.
SDXC
Transfer
photos and videos to your iMac as fast as you take them. The built-in
SDXC card slot supports SD and SDHC cards with capacities up to 2TB.
Just insert your camera’s memory card and import your photos to iPhoto.
