The New Slim iMac

We are happy to welcome the newest addition to the Apple family.  The new iMac has arrived and it comes with some impressive new features.

What you’ll first notice about this sleek new model is its size.  It’s almost a full inch slimmer and up to eight pounds lighter than any other iMac.  Apple also re-engineered the display.  The result is up to 75% less glare, a sharper screen image, and more vibrant colors.

It may be slim, but it’s also a powerhouse.  It comes with the latest OS X Mountain Lion operating system and impressive performance technology.  It’s extremely fast thanks to Core i5 or i7 processors and the latest Nvidia graphics processing.  It also comes with up to 3TB of storage and a Fusion Drive option that adds 128GB of flash storage to the hard drive.  The iMac dynamically manages the memory, shifting less used programs to the hard drive, reserving the faster flash memory for the most often used apps.  The result?  Faster day-to-day performance.
Although the iMac doesn’t have an optical drive, it does have two Thunderbolt ports, four USB 3.0 ports, an SDXC card reader, and Gigabit Ethernet. 

The new iMac comes in two sizes.  The smaller 21.5 inch version is listed at $1,299 for the 2.7 GHz base model, which does not have a Fusion Drive option.  There is also a 21.5 inch, 2.9 GHz model, which is listed at $1,499.  Fusion Drive can be added to the 2.9 GHz version as an upgrade.  Both of the 21.5 inch models can be seen in the Apple Store, and will begin to ship in November.

The larger 27-inch iMac comes with either a 2.9 GHz or 3.2 GHz processor and 1TB hard drive.  The 27-inch models can be upgraded to a 3TB hard drive, 1TB or 3TB Fusion Drive, or 768GB of flash storage.  The base prices for the 27-inch models range from $1,799 to $1,999.  Upgrades are extra.  All 27-inch models will begin shipping in December.
