The New iMac Is The Fastest Kid On The Block
Apple’s All-In-One Offers Good Looks, High Speed, And 27 Inches Of Glory
You don’t have to be a computer person to know that Apple’s iMac all-in-one computers are some of the best-looking computers out there. Even if you generally prefer PCs to Macs, there is no denying that Apple’s design takes the cake for display real-estate and quality, and the slickness of the overall presentation. Last week, Apple introduced a new iMac that beefs up things internally, making it faster and more capable than ever before. This new iMac, featuring a gigantic 27” display, is now not only the best-looking all-in-one computer out there, it’s also the fastest.
There are a few big changes in the new iMac, chief among which is the inclusion of the new second-generation Core i5 or i7 processors. These new CPUs offer higher speed and efficiency, and significantly improved graphics performance over previous chips. This makes the new iMac a great choice for media professionals and enthusiasts who want to edit photos and digital video transfers, and perform other graphics-intensive operations. The average consumer might find the highest-end iMac to be overkill in both price and features, but people like gaming enthusiasts and serious media editors will rejoice at the computer’s high-end AMD Radeon HD 6000-series graphics card and exceptional peripheral device flexibility.
Speaking of peripherals, the second big addition to the new iMacs is the new Thunderbolt interface, which supports high-bandwidth bi-directional flow of data and display information. Whether you want to hook up a high-speed external hard drive or an additional monitor, the Thunderbolt interface offers unprecedented speed of information flow. Thanks to the flexibility of this interface, users can hook up two additional monitors for a simultaneous three-display workstation. That means you can have a video call on one screen, documents or emails on another, and still edit a full-screen digital video transfer at the same time. This kind of multi-display support is not unique to the iMac, but the current version is the first Apple all-in-one to offer this level of display flexibility.
If you are interested in taking advantage of that beautiful 27” display to watch HD movies on Blu-ray, you’re out of luck; Apple still hasn’t incorporated Blu-ray into any of its computers. This is the one major drawback of the iMac. Increasingly computers are becoming multimedia hubs, and some users (especially those who plan on using the iMac in dorm rooms or bedrooms) might miss the ability to watch Blu-rays (regular DVDs are no problem). Of course, Apple would prefer that you just download an HD digital video transfer of the movie from the iTunes store. This conflict of interest certainly explains why Apple has been hesitant to add Blu-ray support, but if the Blu-ray continues to become more commonplace, Apple may have to give in at some point.
Aside from the lack of Blu-ray support, the new iMac seems like a very appealing all-in-one computer for those who are willing to part with $2,000+ in the name of speed and elegant design.
