Today we are going to focus on just one of the many products offered by Apple, and we’ll choose the iMac computer. This type of computer was introduced in 1998 and then it was called the iMac G3. the next model was the iMac G4 and the newest generation, that is available today is the iMac G5. and about this product we are going to discuss about today.
Not only that it is a slim and very cool looking computer, but it also full with a lot of complex features and advanced technologies. The first thing you will notice about it is the display screen. It is available with display screens with a size from 21.5 inch to 27 inch diagonal, and it will offer you great and rich colors thanks to the LED backlit technology.
It has a 16:9 aspect ratio meaning that you will be able to enjoy movies in High Definition. The 21 inch screen has a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, while the 27 inch screen has a great resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. So imagine how many things you will be able to do in the same time and how many programs you can keep on the screen when having such a big screen and such a high resolution. And this is not all, because this screen offers a good image from any perspective you are watching thanks to a premium display technology called “in plane switching”.
But this computer doesn’t just look good, but it also performs very well thanks to the advanced processor, RAM memory and graphics engine. Actually there are 4 available models, each one with its own technical details. The cheapest version (compared to the others, because it is not such a cheap product) it the iMac with a 21.5 inch and a Intel Core 2 Duo processor @ 3.06 Ghz. This one has 4 GB or RAM memory, a 500 GB hard drive, a 8x double layer Super Drive, a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M graphics card and a price of 1.199 dollars. The next version has the same size of the screen, the same processor, the same RAM memory, the same optical drive but it is different in the size of the hard drive (1 TB – so double compared to the previous model) and in the video card which is a ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics with 256 MB. These were the 2 versions with a 21.5 inch display screen, and now let’s discuss about the 2 versions that have a 27 inch display screen. The first one comes at a price of 1.699 dollars and also has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor @ 3.06 Ghz, also 4 GB of RAM memory, a hard drive of 1 TB, a 8x double layer Super Drive unit and a ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics with 256 MB. And finally, the best version of all has a big price of 1.999 dollars and most of the features like the previous model. But it has a Intel Core i5 Quad Core processor @ 2.66 (a processor with 4 cores instead of 2 like) and a ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512 MB.
But the cool features and technologies are not ending here. If you might noticed this computer doesn’t have any central unit like any classic desktop computer. It has all the components integrated behind the display screen, just like in a laptop. But this is not all…the iMac has as standard features a wireless keyboard and mouse. But this is not just a regular mouse, it is the world’s first Multi Touch mouse. So it looks pretty much just like a normal mouse but it has the Multi touch technology of a laptop TouchPad. It has not visible buttons, no cord and no wheel. You will do all of the actions just by touching it in different ways. When you press anywhere on its surface it will act just like you are pressing the left click button so the whole surface is a button. If you want to use the “right click” function, hold one finger on the mouse, while clicking with another finger. You can also scroll with one finger to move horizontally or vertically and you can zoom by holding the CTRL key from the keyboard while scrolling with one finger. And you can even swipe left and right by using two fingers.
So after all the iMac is a great and advanced computer, and you will be really satisfied with it, so it worths all the money.
