iMac (27-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2009)

The iMac (27-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2009) is originally the built-to-order iteration of the iMac (27-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2009) introduced in late 2009. But the configuration seemed to be so successful that Apple started offering in as a standard one. This is the all-in-one desktop computer in an all-aluminum unibody casing behind the 27-inch LED-backlit IPS screen, covered by an edge-to-edge front glass and mounted on an aluminum stand with a slightly tapered foot and an adjusting hinge. The one thing to distinguish it from the previous standard model is the new quad core processor of i7 family. The iMac (27-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2009) features a quad core 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 I7-860 processor (Lynnfield/Nehalem), 4 GB of RAM, a 1TB Serial ATA hard drive (7200RPM), a slot-loading DVD+R DL “Super Drive”, Radeon HD 4670 graphics with 256 MB of memory shared with the system, or ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512 MB of shared memory, a built-in iSight webcam and stereo speakers, as well as a Firewire “800” and 4 USB 2.0 ports. It also has built-in draft and enabled AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet and Mini DisplayPort capable of supporting a second display. The cooling system is CPU controlled and the in-built speakers are mounted beneath the 27-inch screen for the clearer less distorted sound to bounce off the desk or other surface. The speakers’ grills also work as the vent ones. The iMac (27-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2009) is shipped with a compact aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard and a new multi-touch “Magic Mouse”, an aluminum remote control is optional and available for an extra cost.
