Description

A big, bold display. Intel processors and powerful graphics. An advanced Fusion Drive option. And much more. It's the desktop your desk deserves.

You won't want anything to distract you from what you're viewing on these big, beautiful 21.5- and 27-inch displays. And nothing will, thanks to an amazing display designed to reduce reflection. In addition, because the LCD sits right up against the glass, your content seems to leap off the screen.

The gorgeous iMac display looks great from any seat in the house. A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) gives you a bright picture with excellent color from nearly any angle. And LED backlighting offers instant-on, uniform brightness with no waiting. So you're always ready to share that vacation slideshow with the family.

Everything you see on the big, glossy display - from skin tones and dark shadows to bright blue skies and green fields - is rich and vibrant. And the colors are more true to life, too. That's because every iMac display is individually color-calibrated using state-of-the-art spectroradiometers to match color standards recognized aroundthe world.

Get everyone in the picture with crisp, widescreen HD video. The built-in 720p FaceTime HD camera lets you make video calls that are so clear, it seems like everyone's in the same room. Make FaceTime calls from your iMac to any FaceTime-enabled Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

This stunning all-in-one iMac features a beautiful 21.5-inch widescreen display, fourth generation Intel Core processor and Intel HD 5000 graphics. And it comes as standard with 8GB memory, a 500GB hard drive and advanced, high-speed connections, including two Thunderbolt ports, four USB 3 ports and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. All in an impossibly thin brushed aluminium enclosure.

Fourth-generation Intel Core Processor

Intel's fourth generation Core i5 processor provides stunning performance for anything from web browsing to video editing. The fourth generation of Intel's fabled processors also help to keep you and your personal information safer, thanks to built-in security features.

Stunning ultrathin design

iMac's premium aluminium casing and glass display make for a stunning, modern looking machine, that looks as good as it performs. It's incredibly thin but still manages to pack a remarkable amount of high performance technology into the same amazingly thin enclosure.

Brilliant widescreen Full HD display

The display uses IPS technology and LED backlighting to ensure that images and videos look great from any seat. The LCD sits right against the ultrathin glass, bringing content closer to you, while the colours have been individually calibrated to deliver rich and vibrant true-to-life colours.

High-speed Connectivity

iMac is packed full of connectivity options, including 802.11ac Wi-Fi, giving you superior performance over an 802.11ac router. It also packs four USB 3.0 ports for then times the performance of USB 2.0, two Thunderbolt ports for connecting compatible monitors and hard drives for data transfer at rapid speeds. It also includes Bluetooth, an SDXC card slot, Ethernet port and a Mini DisplayPort.

OS X Mavericks

    Even though the iMac enclosure is very thin, the built-in speakers deliver high-fidelity sound. So when you're listening to that album, watching the latest flick, or playing your favorite action game, you'll get immersive sound and a surprisingly wide soundstage.
  • Dual mics: be heard loud and clear

  • iCloud: everything you love on your iMac, on all your devices

    iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more from whatever device you're on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac, too.
