The new Apple iMac is scorchingly beautiful - though you probably could have guessed. It looks much like the last generation from the front
But is much
Much thinner at the edges (just 5mm). It’s an illusion of sorts
Since it tapers up to the middle where it’s just as thick as before
But it’s a beautiful one. So too is the screen around front

We’ve not got a great deal to complain about with the hardware of the new iMac. There’s no DVD drive
But we don’t find that much of an issue in these days of digital downloads. If we can level a complaint
It’s that you can’t add more RAM to the 21 inch model yourself - you can still on the 27-inch model. That
And we still can’t get to grips with Apple’s low lying Magic Mouse
The 21.5in Apple iMac of late 2012 delivers a great deal of performance while taking up very little space. It delivers excellent screen quality and of course that unrivalled Apple design and build-quality. It is more expensive than other small all-in-ones...
Abstract: Let's deal with the elephant in the room: the Mac mini and iMac are very different products. We're comparing them because some potential Mac purchasers are confused as to their relative merits, and a visit to the Apple website explains why. These days Ap...
Abstract: The all-in-one iMac is Apple's flagship desktop computer. This latest 21.5in model takes some design cues from the Macbook Air laptop – it's incredibly thin and it's remarkably light. It's not consistently thin though – there is a slight bulge towards ...
Apple's iMac keeps its lead as the market's most stylish all-in-one thanks to a 5mm-thin edge, and component upgrades ensure it's one of the fastest around, too. It doesn't come cheap, though, when all of its components are upgraded - so weigh up wheth...

Apple's 2012 21.5" iMac has a slimmer design and has ditched its DVD drive. However, it has also gained in processing power and in gaming capabilities. Screen quality has been upped too and audio quality is still excellent. If you're not bothered about TV...

The new 21.5in Apple iMac (2012) delivers in all the ways we've come to expect iMacs to. It's new super slim design is streaks ahead of the competition, as is the machine's build quality. Plus it's competent on all other crucial fronts, with a decent set ...
The 1TB hard disk is more than a little disappointing, as is the fairly significant cost of upgrading to a Fusion Drive and a Magic Trackpad 2, and don't get me started on the placement of those ports, but the cheapest 21.5in iMac is a capable and well-bu...

Abstract: Apple’s new 27-inch and 21.5-inch iMacs look great, boost performance and boast some nice new features… but, boy, have they taken a long time to reach us...
