iMac (27-inch, 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012)

The iMac (27-inch, 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012) is the built-to-order iteration of iMac (27-inch, 3.2GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2013) with the top class quad core processor – Intel Core-i7 Ivy Bridge. This is the all-in-one desktop computer in an even slimmer all-aluminum unibody casing behind the 27-inch LED-backlit IPS screen with cover glass fully laminated to the LCD and anti-reflective coating. The body depth at its thinnest has 5 mm, though there’s a certain bulge in the center of the back panel. The computer is mounted on an aluminum stand with a slightly tapered foot and an adjusting hinge. The iMac (27-inch, 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012) features a quad core 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 I7 – 3770 processor (Ivy Bridge), with four independent processor cores on a single chip, DMI system bus and an integrated graphics core, 8 GB of RAM, a 1TB GB (7200 RPM) hard drive, an SD memory slot card reader, Nvidia GeForce GT 675MX graphics with 1GB of shared memory, a built-in FaceTime HD webcam and stereo speakers, as well as a “Thunderbolt” port and 4 USB 3.0 ports. It also has built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 4.0. 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, 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012) is shipped with a compact aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard and either with a “Magic Mouse” or a multi-touch Magic Trackpad.
