New iMacs: faster speeds, similar price
26/09/13 17:17 Filed in: Macintosh
Although not an earth-shattering change, Apple updated its range of desktop iMacs this week, and gave the new range faster processors. Prices remain almost the same to the last generation and screen sizes have not changed.
All models come with a generous 8GB of RAM memory and a 1TB hard disk. All iMacs can be customised, with the option to add a Fusion drive, which is part hard disk and part flash storage. This makes the iMac much faster as it automatically frequently used tiles on the faster flash drive. Replacing the 1TB hard drive with a 1TB Fusion drive costs an extra €200 or £160. Doubling the RAM to 16GB also costs €200 (£160).
The ports on the back of the iMac remain the same: SDXC card slot, four USB 3 ports (compatible with USB 2), two Thunderbolt ports, a Mini DisplayPort and an Ethernet port.
Overall this update is relatively minor, but if you have been waiting to purchase a new Mac desktop you will get more speed for your money.
To see the full details, check out the online stores at Apple Ireland or Apple UK.
Just to note- there is also a VESA Mountable version of the iMac available at this link.
