Apple updated the entire iMac line with new processors, ports, camera and graphics. The new iMacs went on sale on Tuesday with essentially the same exterior design, but new internal parts. There are 21.5-inch and 27-inch screen models.
All of the iMacs now feature quad-core Intel Core i5 processors as standard, with options to get an i7 as well. In addition, they all have the new high-speed Thunderbolt ports that support an external screen as well as hard drives and video equipment. The graphics chips range from the AMD 6750M to the AMD 6970M. The built-in camera is now 720p HD.
Internally some reports state that the graphics chips are now on a removable board, allowing for a possible future upgrade. You also get the option of an Apple Mouse, Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. All models come with at least 4GB of memory.
The lowest-pirced iMac is now only $1,199 for a 21.5-inch screen with only the standard features and a 500GB drive. A high-end 27-inch model costs $1,999 with a faster processor, better graphics chips and 1TB drive. You can add build-to order options such as an internal SSD drive, i7 processor and up to 16GB of RAM.
