Apple released the first iMac over a decade ago, and with each generation they've kept their design ethos the same: to make an all-in-one that's both powerful and beautifully designed.

The Apple iMac features a beautiful LED-backlit display that reaches full brightness with no waiting. The 2560 x 1440 resolution ensures your images will be crystal clear, and the 1000:1 contrast ratio will deliver vibrant colours and deeper blacks.

Powered by a Quad-Core Intel core i5 processor and with 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, the Apple iMac performs nearly twice as fast as the previous generation. The Intel quad-core architecture keeps the processor, cache, memory controller and graphics engine on a single chip, so you get faster performance and a more fluid experience. Advanced AMD Radeon HD 6770M GPU with 512MB of GDDR5 memory gives you high performance for playing 3D games, editing HD video or running design software.

Thunderbolt technology offers a single connection which carries both DisplayPort and PCI Express signals. 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and delivering 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions, Thunderbolt gives you ultra-fast transfer speeds and enables you to connect multiple high performance peripherals by daisy chaining up to six devices together. There's also four USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800 port and a Gigabit ethernet port.

The FaceTime HD camera enables you to speak to friends and family in crystal clear widescreen HD quality. You can make 720p HD calls from your MacBook Pro to any Mac that has a FaceTime HD camera, and hold video calls with anyone who has an iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPod touch and other Intel-based Mac computers. The bright 15.4 inch LED-backlit glossy display will make all your images and videos look beautiful.

Ready to use straight out the box, the iMac comes with a wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse. With the Magic Mouse you can control everything with either standard mouse movements or easy to use gestures. You can stay connected with the latest three-stream 802.11n wireless technology and get the best performance at any range. - A.D.
