Apple to release thinner, faster iMac this week

Slyvia November 28, 2012 Channel, Mac

Apple will be releasing their new iMac on Friday 30th November. The new iMac computer will have a 21.5 inch screen and a new ‘Fusion Drive'. Apple confirmed the price in America as between $1,299 and $1,499. They will also be releasing a new 27 inch model in December with pricing said to be around $1,799.

The new ‘Fusion drive' is a mixture of flash and mechanical technology and will feature a minimum size of 1TB in the cheaper models. The new iMac models are 80 percent thinner than the predecessor at 5mm thick.

Sadly the new iMac's won't feature a Retina display or an optical drive although Marketing boss Phil Schiller did say that Apple would offer an optical drive' to purchase for those ‘still stuck in the past'. Clearly I am still stuck in the past with my new Bluray burner then?

Kitguru says: Super thin and faster. Mac fans will be queuing for this one.
