iMac

Ever since the famous Bondi Blue iMac debuted in August 1998, Apple’s all-in-one desktop computer has been setting standards in gorgeous design and powerful performance. Apple’s innovation was as clear back then as it is today – the iMac was the first Macintosh to drop the floppy disk in favour of USB, and its colourful aesthetic set it apart as a playful pretender in a world of staid beige boxes.

Today, Apple is again pushing boundaries with the iMac, blessing all of its 27-inch models with a massive 5K (5120x2880) resolution and a wider colour gamut than previous models. Add in a quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (configurable from 3.2GHz up to 4.0GHz), 8GB of memory, a fast and capacious Fusion Drive, and a powerful AMD Radeon R9 graphics processor – and the large iMac is the desktop system to own. In 2015, Apple introduced the first 21.5-inch iMac complete with a Retina 4K (4096x2304) display. All except the entry-level, 21.5‑inch model have a quad-core processor.
