Product Description
Speedier than ever with the latest Intel dual-core
processor, the Apple iMac all-in-one desktop PC sports a sleek,
professional aluminum enclosure that's joined precisely to a 20-inch
glass cover to create a virtually seamless front surface. It's powered
by a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which includess an amazingly
fast 1066 MHz front-side bus speed and super-sized 6 MB L2 cache. Part
of Intel's 45-nanometer (nm) Penryn series, this processor boosts both
speed and efficiency while helping to reduce power consumption. This
dual-core processor also provides an optimized, multithreaded
architecture for improved multitasking, video, and gaming performance.
The iMac also features an 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. It's pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
operating system, which enables easy backup of your most important data
via Time Machine, a redesigned desktop that helps eliminate clutter. It
also comes with the iLife '08 suite of applications--including iPhoto,
iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes--and the newest version of the
fast-loading Safari web browser.
Hardware features include a 250 GB hard drive, 2 GB 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 2.1+EDR connectivity, and ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT
video card with 128 MB dedicated memory.
Power on a Pedestal
The new keyboard's ultrathin anodized aluminum enclosure features
low-profile keys that provide a crisp, responsive feel.
With its anodized aluminum frame set upon a sleek pedestal, the new
iMac instantly transforms your workspace from cluttered desktop to
brilliant display podium. Because the iMac's housing is 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 glass 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.
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
Experience faster, more nimble application performance and
improved energy efficiency with this 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor from
Intel's 45nm Penryn lineup. The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which
reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--helps to reduce
power consumption while delivering. powerful processing speeds. This
2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor is aided by a 1066 front-side bus speed
and a super-sized 6 MB L2 cache--both top-of-the-line for Intel's
Penryn processors. (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.)
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.
Hard Drive and Memory
The 250 GB Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM)
quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to
FireWire and USB 2.0. The 1 GB of PC6400 DDR2 RAM (one SO-DIMM) has an
industry-leading 800 MHz speed, and the RAM capacity can be increased
to 4 GB.
Graphics and Video
The 20-inch widescreen TFT active-matrix LCD offers a
resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels. It has a brightness rating of 290
cd/m2 (candela per square meter), a contrast ratio of 800:1, and a
viewing angle of 160 degrees (both horizontal and vertical). An ATI
Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics processor powers the iMac with 128 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.
Wired and Wireless
Connectivity
You get a full complement of ports on the back of the iMac, including
three USB 2.0 and two flavors of Firewire--400 and 800.
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 2.1 + 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
