The
new iMac features next-generation Intel Core i5 quad-core processors
and the fastest graphics ever in an all-in-one computer. It also brings

incredible than before.
The iMac's display offers a 1920 x
1080-pixel resolution (for native 1080p high-definition viewing), and it

178 degree viewing angle. This 21.5-inch model (MC812LL/A) offers
improved graphics with AMD Radeon HD 6770M discrete graphics featuring
512 MB of GDDR5 memory, a 1 TB hard drive, and 4 GB of installed RAM.

connectivity, an SD card slot (compatible with SDHC and SDXC cards),
one Thunderbolt port, a FireWire 800 port, and a total of four USB 2.0
ports (see full
specifications

It
also comes with the Mac OS X Lion operating system as well as the iLife
software suite, which includes the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie,
and GarageBand.
Key Features
Next-Generation Dual-Core Intel Processor
This
iMac is powered by a second-generation Intel Core i5 quad-core
processor (dubbed "Sandy Bridge"), which provides breakthrough digital
media management, content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With
updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i5 increases
speed automatically for whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating
performance to match your workload.
Intel's Hyper-Threading
Technology enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at
the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart
multitasking. And you'll enjoy a rich set of new features for a stunning
and seamless visual experience with no additional hardware. The "Sandy
Bridge" Core i5 processor also provides faster access to the installed
RAM, with an integrated memory controller to connect fast 1333 MHz
memory directly to the processor.
The iMac's seamless aluminum enclosure and full range of ports, including one Thunderbolt port (
see larger image).
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed
by Intel with collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O
(input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of
transfer speeds in both directions. Built into the iMac, the Thunderbolt
port allows you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as
well as existing USB and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters.
You'll be able to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and
more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800, and you can
daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub. Thunderbolt
also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with
existing adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA displays.
Bright, Colorful Display
This
21.5-inch, all-in-one Apple iMac features an edge-to-edge glass display
that utilizes LED backlighting for improved brightness and energy
efficiency as well as In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, which
delivers consistent color across a wide 178-degree viewing angle.
Clutter-Free Desktop
You'll
be able to cut the cord with the included Wireless Keyboard and Magic
Mouse, both of which connect to the iMac using Bluetooth wireless
technology. Additionally, the Magic Mouse features a seamless
Multi-Touch surface that enables you to use the same intuitive gestures
used on the MacBook trackpad to easily scroll through long documents or
swipe to move forward or backward through a collection of web pages or
photos. And it can be configured as either a single- or two-button
mouse.
And
with the FaceTime HD camera placed above the display in the iMac's thin
aluminum and glass design, you'll be able to make video calls in HD
720p resolution to friends and family on another iMac or MacBook.
Additionally, you'll be able to connect to those using an iPad 2, iPhone
4, or iPod touch.
