18:00 20Oct09 PRN-Apple Unveils New iMac With 21.5 and 27-inch Displays
Features LED-Backlit Displays, Available Quad-Core Processors & the New
Wireless Magic Mouse
CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple� today unveiled an
all new iMac� line featuring brilliant LED-backlit 21.5 and 27-inch widescreen
displays in a new edge-to-edge glass design and seamless all aluminum
enclosure. The new iMac line, starting at $1,199, is the fastest ever with
Intel Core 2 Duo processors starting at 3.06 GHz, and Core i5 and i7 quad-core
processors for up to twice the performance.* Every new iMac ships with a
wireless keyboard and the all new wireless Magic Mouse, the world's first
mouse with Multi-Touch(TM) technology pioneered by Apple on the iPhone�, iPod
touch� and Mac� notebook trackpad.
"The iMac is widely praised as the best desktop computer in the world and
today we are making it even better," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice
president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "With brilliant LED displays and the
revolutionary Magic Mouse, the new iMac delivers an amazing desktop experience
that we think customers will love."
The new iMac features stunning LED-backlit displays with a 16:9 aspect ratio,
ideal for watching high definition movies and TV shows from iTunes�, or
editing and watching your own videos or photos using iLife�. The new 21.5-inch
iMac features a high resolution 1920-by-1080 pixel display. The 27-inch iMac
features a beautiful 2560-by-1440 pixel display that offers 60 percent more
pixels than the previous 24-inch model. Both 21.5 and 27-inch displays use IPS
technology to deliver consistent color across an ultra wide 178 degree viewing
angle.
The iMac comes standard with a wireless keyboard and the new Magic Mouse
featuring Apple's revolutionary Multi-Touch technology. Instead of needing
mechanical buttons, scroll wheels or scroll balls, the entire top of the Magic
Mouse is a seamless Multi-Touch surface. Using intuitive gestures, a user can
easily scroll through long documents, pan across large images or swipe to move
forward or backward through a collection of web pages or photos. The Magic
Mouse can be configured as either a single button or two button mouse,
according to the user's preference. The wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse work
seamlessly with the iMac's built-in Bluetooth capabilities to provide a clean,
cable-free desk top.
The iMac features improved graphics across the line with NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
integrated graphics or ATI Radeon HD 4670 discrete graphics in the 21.5-inch
model, and ATI Radeon HD 4670 discrete graphics or ATI Radeon HD 4850 discrete
graphics in the 27-inch model. The new iMac line now also features 4GB of 1066
MHz DDR3 memory and capacity up to 16GB across four SO-DIMM slots. Every iMac
features a built-in iSight� video camera, mic and stereo speakers integrated
into the thin aluminum and glass design. iMac includes built-in AirPort
Extreme� 802.11n Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a
total of four USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire� 800 port and a new built-in SD card
slot.
Apple today also announced that the Mac mini, the world's most energy
efficient desktop,** is now faster, offers more storage and comes standard
with double the memory. Starting at $599, the entry level Mac mini features a
faster 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, a
160GB hard drive, five USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
integrated graphics and a SuperDrive�. The $799 Mac mini features a 2.53 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of memory and a larger 320GB hard drive. Apple
now offers a $999 Mac mini that is specially configured with Mac OS� X Snow
Leopard� Server. Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server features two 500GB hard
drives for a total of 1TB of server storage in the tiny 6.5-inch square by
2-inch tall Mac mini enclosure.
Continuing Apple's commitment to the environment, both iMac and Mac mini
extend their leadership in green design. iMac and Mac mini meet the new, more
stringent Energy Star 5.0 requirements and achieve EPEAT Gold status.*** The
new iMac now features LED-backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with
arsenic-free glass. Both iMac and Mac mini use PVC-free internal components
and cables, contain no brominated flame retardants, use highly recyclable
materials, and feature material-efficient system and packaging designs.
Every Mac comes with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the world's most advanced
operating system, and iLife, Apple's innovative suite of applications for
managing photos, making movies and creating and learning to play music. Snow
Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of
refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft
Exchange. iLife features iPhoto�, to easily organize and manage photos;
iMovie� with powerful easy-to-use new features such as Precision Editor, video
stabilization and advanced drag and drop; and GarageBand� which introduces a
whole new way to help you learn to play piano and guitar.
