This is the all-in-one desktop computer in an even slimmer all-aluminum unibody casing behind the 21.5-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\u2019s 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 (21.5-inch, 2.9GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012) features a quad core 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 I5-3470S 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 (5400 RPM) hard drive or an optional 1TB Fusion drive, an SD memory slot card reader, Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics with 512 MB of shared memory, a built-in FaceTime HD webcam and stereo speakers, as well as a \u201cThunderbolt\u201d 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 21.5-inch 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 (21.5-inch, 2.9GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012) is shipped with a compact aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard and either with a &#8220;Magic Mouse&#8221; or a multi-touch Magic Trackpad.<!--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_29GHz_Intel_Core_i5_Late_2012\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> iMac (21.5-inch, 2.9GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012)<\/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_29GHz_Intel_Core_i5_Late_2012\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>iMac (21.5-inch, 2.9GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduced on October 23, 2012.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Specifications\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Codename:<\/em> Intel Mac Slim Unibody.<\/li>\n<li><em>Processor Speed:<\/em> 2.9 GHz.<\/li>\n<li><em>Boost Speed:<\/em> 3.2 GHz.<\/li>\n<li><em>Processor Architecture:<\/em> 64-bit.<\/li>\n<li><em>Processor type:<\/em> Core i5 (I5-3470S) &#8220;Ivy Bridge&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><em>Processor upgrade:<\/em> LGA 1155 (Socket H2).<\/li>\n<li><em>Cores:<\/em> 4.<\/li>\n<li><em>Graphics core:<\/em> Yes.<\/li>\n<li><em>On-Board Ram:<\/em> 8 GB, DDR3\u00a01600 MHz (no upgrade intended by Apple).<\/li>\n<li><em>Max.
