This is the all-in-one desktop computer in an all-aluminum unibody casing behind the 21.5-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 iMac (21.5-inch, 3.1GHz Intel Core i3, Late\/Edu 2011) features a dual core 3.1 GHz Intel Core i3 &#8211; 2100 processor (Sandy Bridge), with an innovating DMI system bus to connect the northbridge and the southbridge, and an integrated graphics core, 2 GB of RAM, a 250 GB (7200 RPM), a slot-loading DVD+R DL Super Drive, an SD memory slot card reader, AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics with 256 MB of shared memory, a built-in FaceTime HD webcam and stereo speakers, as well as a Firewire &#8220;800&#8221;, 4 USB 2.0 ports. It also has built-in draft and enabled AirPort Extreme (802.11g), Gigabit Ethernet but neither \u201cThunderbolt\u201d port nor Bluetooth. The cooling system is CPU controlled and the in-built speakers are mounted beneath the 21.5\u201d screen for the clearer less distorted sound to bounce off the desk or other surface. The speakers\u2019 grills also work as the vent ones. The iMac Core i3 I5-2100 (late 2011) is shipped with a less capable mouse.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#iMac_215-inch_31GHz_Intel_Core_i3_LateEdu_2011\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> iMac (21.5-inch, 3.1GHz Intel Core i3, Late\/Edu 2011)<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Specifications\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">1.1<\/span> Specifications<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Apple_Orders_Discontinuation_Price\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Apple Orders, Discontinuation, Price <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Miscellanea\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Miscellanea <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Links\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Links<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"iMac_215-inch_31GHz_Intel_Core_i3_LateEdu_2011\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>iMac (21.5-inch, 3.1GHz Intel Core i3, Late\/Edu 2011)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Introduced on May 3, 2011.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Specifications\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">Specifications<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Codename:<\/em> Intel Mac Unibody.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor Speed:<\/em> 3.1 GHz.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor Architecture:<\/em> 64-bit.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor type:<\/em> Core i3 (I3-2100) &#8220;Sandy Bridge&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor upgrade:<\/em> LGA 1155 (Socket H2).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Cores:<\/em> 2.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Graphics core:<\/em> Yes<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>On-Board RAM:<\/em> 2 GB, DDR3\u00a01333 MHz (one 2GB module per slot, three slots free)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Max.
