No big media event for this one, so in case you might have missed it, Apple just updated their website to show the new 2011 iMacs. They still basically look the same, but all the major updates happen on the inside, with changes on four areas. All iMac models now feature quad core Intel Core i5 processors, faster AMD Radeon HD graphics, high-speed 10Gbps Thunderbolt ports, and FaceTime HD cams.
After refreshing the top-end Mac Pro for the pros, Apple also updated the consumer iMac line for everyone else. They still look the same as the existing Core 2 Duo iMacs, but this new batch come with newer innards, replacing the Core 2 Duo processors with Intel’s newer Core i3 and i5 processors on the mainstream configurations and a quad-core, 2.93GHz Intel Core i7 CPU on the top-end.
Apple today unveiled a new iMac that comes with LED-backlit 21.5 and 27-inch widescreen displays in a new edge-to-edge glass design and seamless all aluminum enclosure. The new iMac line, starting at $1,199, improves on the previous models by coming with faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors starting at 3.06 GHz, and options for the latest Core i5 and i7 quad-core processors.
