The Newest iMac Computer Offers Top-Notch Design at a Low Price
Rahul Kalvapalle — June 20, 2014 — Tech
Apple's latest iMac offering is its most inexpensive yet, and costs only $1,099, making it by far the cheapest iMac on offer.
This iMac sports a 21.5-inch monitor featuring a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. It is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive for file and program storage. The iMac even features the same Intel Core i5 processor that more expensive models have, coupled with a dual core chip. The machine even has the same connectivity features as more expensive iMacs, with two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3.0 ports.
The new iMac is equipped with the now-familiar thin, premium build associated with older models. It runs on the OS X Mavericks operating system.
Like other iMac models, this one can be partially upgraded at the time of purchase.
