Updated with a brilliant 21.5-inch LED-backlit widescreen display in a new
edge-to-edge glass design and seamless all aluminum enclosure, the new Apple
iMac is ideal for watching high definition movies and TV shows from iTunes, or
editing and watching your own videos or photos using iLife. The iMac now also
comes standard with a wireless keyboard and the new Magic Mouse, which features
Apple's Multi-Touch technology. And it's faster than ever with a 3.06 GHz Intel
Core 2 Duo processor.
The 21.5-inch iMac features a brilliant LED-backlit
display with widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio.
The iMac declutters your desktop with a wireless
keyboard and new Magic Mouse--the world's first Multi-Touch mouse.
The iMac's display offers a 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution (for native 1080p
high-definition viewing), and it uses IPS technology to deliver consistent color
across an ultra wide 178 degree viewing angle. This 21.5-inch model also
features improved graphics with the ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor with
256 MB of dedicated video memory. It's powered by a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
processor, which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved
multitasking, video, and gaming performance.
It comes pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating
system--an operating system custom-designed for the advanced technology
inside--and it also comes with the iLife '09 suite of applications, including
iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes.

Key Features
Big, Beautiful Display Combined with All-In-One Simplicity
The evolution of the Apple iMac.
The new iMac has come a long way from the first 15-inch iMac. The all-in-one
design of the first flat-panel iMac cleaned up the desktop, and put everything
you need--display, processor, graphics card, hard drive, optical drive, memory,
and more--inside one simple enclosure. New technology inside and out makes the
new iMac a worthy addition to the all-in-one dynasty.
This 21.5-inch model features an edge-to-edge glass display that covers
nearly the entire front of the enclosure. When all you see is the display,
nothing gets between you and what's onscreen. Movies, TV shows, websites,
photos--everything looks stunning on the new 16:9 widescreen iMac display. And
the LED backlighting in the new iMac helps push more light through the pixels
with remarkable brightness and efficiency. And because the LED backlight doesn't
take up much space, the iMac enclosure stays thin--even with all the
high-performance components inside.
The iMac display is designed to look great from almost any angle. A
technology called in-plane switching (IPS) makes this possible. Whether you're
sitting in front of the display or standing off to the side, you'll get a
perfect picture with superb color consistency and no loss of detail.
The wider iMac display allows more room to separate the two hottest
components, the CPU and the GPU. This keeps things cool inside the iMac
enclosure. Apple engineers also implemented an intelligent control system that
monitors temperatures and delivers just the right amount of airflow to critical
components. And the three fans inside iMac have been tuned to be ultraquiet.
While you'll find a collection of ports on the back of iMac, you won't find
much else. A seamless, precision-forged enclosure makes the back one continuous
aluminum surface. And there's only one cord: the power cord.
Wireless Magic Mouse and Keyboard
Forget the mouse as you know it. Every iMac comes with the wireless Magic Mouse:
the world's first Multi-Touch mouse. Use it once and you'll wonder how you ever
used anything else. There's no scroll ball, no clunky wheel, no cord, and no
visible button. Instead, the Magic Mouse uses Multi-Touch technology to let you
control everything with simple gestures. Give them a try and you'll find that
Magic Mouse changes the way you interact with your computer. Built-in software
lets you configure Magic Mouse any way you want. Its smooth, seamless design is
ambidextrous, and it supports two-button clicking--without buttons.
The iMac banishes desktop clutter completely with a wireless keyboard to go
with the wireless Magic Mouse. This low-profile keyboard takes up less desk
space--24 percent less--than larger keyboards. There's no numeric keypad, so you
can place your mouse comfortably next to the keyboard. And built-in Bluetooth
means there are no cables to connect.
Built-in Wi-Fi
High-speed 802.11n wireless technology is built into iMac. And with Time Capsule
or the AirPort Express Base Station, every computer in every room can wirelessly
connect to iMac, the Internet, and each other. Over this network, everyone can
print, surf the web, and play music on iTunes through your home
stereo--wirelessly.
iSight Webcam
Hidden behind the glass display at the top of iMac is an iSight camera. Use it
with iChat, and you can be anywhere without actually being there. Video chat
with up to three of your friends, share a video with a colleague, or present to
a client. Use iSight with Photo Booth for fun photo effects. And there's no need
to waste valuable primping time installing software or configuring the camera.
