Apple has released a new low-end model of 21″ iMac. This iMac is considerably cheaper than the other 21″ iMac models, priced at $1099. Previously, the cheapest iMac was priced at $1299 (which has now been promoted to the mid-range model).
The new entry-level iMac features a 1.4 GHz dual-core i5 CPU with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.7GHz, which represents a significant downgrade in performance over the previous base model of iMac, which featured a processor clocked at 2.7 GHz. In addition to the CPU downgrade, the hard drive has also been reduced to 500 GB. The new model also features a lower-end integrated graphics processor. All other iMac models continue to use either Iris Pro integrated graphics or dedicated Nvidia cards.
With its ultrathin design, brilliant 21.5-inch display, and the world’s most advanced operating system, the new iMac model is a great choice for those looking for an entry-level Mac desktop.
