The new iMac from Apple is now available. This new baby is considered as the ultimate all-in-one and it now comes with ultimate display. It is the fastest iMac, so far, with its dual-core Intel processors which start at a speed of 3.06 GHz and is also available with quad-core processors that boost performance up to two times (2x).

The available quad-core Intel Core i5 or Core i7 “Nehalem” processor in the 27-inch iMac puts four processing cores on one die. With this technology, data doesn’t have to travel far to get from one core to another. This boosts application performance up to 2x over the previous-generation iMac.

The new iMac features a bright 21.5-inch or 27-inch LED-backlit display with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio which makes it perfect for HD video. Its ultimate display is designed to look great from almost any angle. A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) makes this possible. Whether you’re sitting in front of the display or just looking at it from the side, you will get a perfect picture with superb color consistency and no loss of details. (more…)
