Today, Apple announced a new entry-level iMac priced at $1099 – $200 less than the previous entry-level model (which, like all the other iMac® models, remains current). It retains many features identical to its two 21.5-inch brethren:
- 21.5-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology, 1920×1080 pixels
- 8GB DDR3 memory (not expandable)
- FaceTime HD camera
- Built-in downward-firing stereo speakers
- Dual microphones
- Headphone/optical digital output
- Four USB 3.0 ports; Two Thunderbolt ports; SDXC card slot
- Gigabit Ethernet; 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi; Bluetooth 4.0
- Apple Wireless Keyboard and wireless Magic Mouse
- OS X Mavericks operating system
So what’s different? A few key changes have been made to reduce the cost:
- 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz. Contrast this with the substantially faster (2.7GHz and 2.9GHz) quad-core processors in the other two models. The L3 cache is smaller, too, and shared by the two processor cores.
- 500GB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive, in place of the 1 TB hard drives in the other models.
- Intel HD Graphics 5000, in lieu of Intel Iris Pro graphics in the $1299 model, and the 1GB NVIDIA GT 750M graphics in the $1499 model.

AVAILABILITY: We’ll be accepting orders for this new iMac model immediately. Fulfillment will depend on initial supplies and demand, which could push delivery to as much as two weeks away.

At last, the drought is over – at least temporarily.
Our Medford store just received a pallet of 27-inch iMacs. Yes, these are the ever-elusive new slimline models. They are not quite “stock” iMacs, the main difference being they come with a full-sized, wired Apple extended keyboard (with full-sized function keys and a numeric keypad) in place of the usual Apple Wireless Keyboard.
SPECIFICATIONS
- 3.2GHz Intel Core i5 quad core processor
- 27-inch widescreen IPS display (2560 x 1440 pixels native resolution)
- 8GB DDR3 SDRAM
- One terabyte SATA hard drive (7200 RPM)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX graphics with 1GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory
- Apple Magic Mouse (wireless)
- Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (wired)
We’ve filled our customer backorders – many of them dating back to October – and still have over a dozen of these iMacs in stock. We expect they won’t be around long, so if you have been looking for one, please let us know.
CORRECTION: When this description was originally posted, it incorrectly identified the processor as an Intel Core i7, instead of a Core i5. We apologize for the error.
