At last, you should also be aware that a new compact, wired keyboard with no numeric keypad has been included with each new iMac by default, but you can get one with a numeric keypad for no additional cost, as long as you're ordering online.
Additional options for the new iMac include a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 8GB DDR3 SDRAM, up to 1TB Serial ATA hard drive, as well as NVIDIA GeForce GT 130, or ATI Radeon HD 4850 with 512MB GDDR3 memory on the 24-inch iMac. Obviously, it doesn't stop here, but it would become boring to tell you all the little things you can get with a new iMac.
Now, I think the new iMac reviews will praise Apple's new computers, and if we look at the powerful processors included, and the generous storage space offered, we instantly get the idea - the new iMac line is a winner, and Microsoft should be afraid. VERY AFRAID!
