module
Redefining Apple's signature all-in-one desktop PC, the
newly redesigned iMac now sports a sleek, professional aluminum
enclosure that's joined precisely to a 20-inch glass cover to create a
virtually seamless front surface. It also features new ultra-thin
aluminum Apple Keyboard--with an extended layout and dedicated keys for
Mac features such as brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, and
Expos?--as well as the wired Mighty Mouse. The iMac is
preloaded with Apple's latest suite of digital media
applications--iLife '08--and also comes with the Apple Remote and Front
Row media display software, which enables you to easily play your
music, enjoy photo slideshows, and watch DVDs, iMovies, music videos
and television shows from across the room.
It's powered by a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor from the newest
"Santa Rosa" chips, which offer a top-of-the-line 800 MHz front-side
bus speed and a huge 4 MB L2 cache. This 20-inch iMac also features a
320 GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM (with a 4 GB maximum capacity), 8x
SuperDrive for burning movies to DVD and music mixes to CD, integrated
802.11n wireless LAN, Gigabit Ethernet wired networking, Bluetooth
connectivity, ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video card with 256 MB dedicated
memory, and the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard operating system.
The iMac, Transformed
The its anodized aluminum frame and glass cover, the new iMac instantly
transforms your workspace from cluttered desktop to brilliant display
podium. Because it's made from a single sheet of aluminum, you won't
see any seams or screws except for a single compartment on the bottom
that provides easy access to the memory slots. The glossy widescreen
20-inch display makes photos and movies come alive with rich color. And
the built-in iSight camera and microphone are integrated so neatly you
barely notice they're there. Aside from the design details, the iMac is
also friendlier to the environment with highly recyclable and durable
materials including scratch-resistant glass and professional grade
aluminum. The power-efficient iMac also meets the stringent new Energy
Star 4.0 requirements.
With its elegant anodized aluminum enclosure, the new Apple Keyboard
looks equally at home in your living room or on your desk. Just connect
it to the USB port on your iMac and start enjoying the crisp,
responsive feel of its low-profile keys. The extended layout has a full
complement of keys, including document navigation controls, a numeric
keypad, and special function keys for Mac features such as brightness,
volume, eject, play/pause, Expos?, and more. Two USB 2.0
ports provide high-speed connectivity for your iPod, Mighty Mouse,
digital camera, and other USB-based electronic devices.
Preinstalled with iLife
'08
Every iMac includes iLife '08, the latest version of
Apple's award-winning suite of digital media applications, with major
upgrades to iPhoto, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand and a completely
reinvented iMovie. iPhoto '08 now automatically organizes photo
libraries into Events that let you more easily manage your growing
photo collections, and iMovie '08 can import video from the latest
AVCHD, HDV and DV camcorders, as well as from digital cameras, and
displays your entire video library whether it's stored on internal or
external drives. Both iPhoto and iMovie integrate seamlessly with the
new .Mac Web Gallery, Apple's new service for .Mac members to instantly
create and host websites for their photos and videos.
iLife '08 also features iWeb '08, with live web widgets such as Google
Maps that let you create even more dynamic websites, and GarageBand
'08, with its new Magic GarageBand feature that makes it fun and easy
for both musicians and non-musicians to create great sounding songs.
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
It's powered by the 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700
processor from the newest "Santa Rosa" chips, which offer a
top-of-the-line 800 MHz front-side bus speed and 4 MB L2 cache. (An L2,
or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can
help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between
the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better
overall performance.) With such a substantial L2 cache, data
instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly
increasing performance and allowing the entire system to work more
efficiently.
The Intel Core 2 Duo's 128-bit SSE3 vector engine handles 128-bit
computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation by
simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. And its
two execution cores are designed to share resources and conserve power,
helping it to achieve higher levels of performance since it uses fewer
watts.
Graphics and Video
The 20-inch widescreen TFT active-matrix LCD offers a
resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels--36 percent more than the previous
17-inch iMac. It has a brightness rating of 290 nits, a contrast ratio
of 800:1, and a viewing angle of 160 degrees (both horizontal and
vertical). An ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics processor powers the iMac
with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory. It features some of the most
advanced graphics technology available and delivers new levels of
visual realism and a huge texture fill rate for smooth surfaces and
complex character details. GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3)
is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to
deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and
applications.
This iMac also enables you to connect a second display in either
extended desktop mode or video mirroring mode. The mini-DVI port
connects to DVI displays, VGA monitors and projectors, and S-video and
composite devices using the appropriate adapter (sold separately).
Wired and Wireless
Connectivity
The iMac gives you plenty of room to grow, accommodating
as many as five peripherals at a time thanks to its three USB 2.0 ports
and the two USB 2.0 ports on the Apple Keyboard. It also includes two
powered FireWire ports--one FireWire 400 and one FireWire 800 (one of
the fastest peripheral standards available)--enabling you to quickly
transfer content from digital video cameras, hard drives, and other
high-speed devices.
Share files around your house with built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
as well as the next-generation high-speed wireless 802.11n technology,
which is integrated into the latest Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.
The iMac is also Wi-Fi Certified to work with base stations and routers
that use industry-standard 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g wireless
technologies.
The integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity--version 2.0 + Enhanced
Data Rate (EDR)--allows you to use a wireless keyboard or mouse, and
synchronize peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs. Enjoy
high-quality sound on almost any speaker system with double-duty
analog/digital audio. Record digital and analog sources through audio
line in, perfect for your latest podcast in GarageBand.
SuperDrive
Integrated neatly into the iMac is a slot-loading
SuperDrive that lets you play and burn your own CDs and DVDs--including
double-layer DVDs. And there's no disc tray--just slide the disc right
in. It offers the following speeds:
Writes DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 4x speed
Writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed
Writes DVD-RW at up to 6x speed and DVD+RW discs at up to
