Apple iMac ME088LL/A 27-Inch Desktop (NEWEST VERSION) |
If you keep your computer for less than 3 years or so, then just buy the iMac and be done with it. But if you intend to keep the iMac for longer than that, consider the negative consequences of the iMac's all-in-one design. Great system will not go too far into a review since everything has already been said but we recommend that you upgrade the RAM when you buy it. And Don't forget, go into the App Store and claim your free update to 10.9 Mavericks. is one of the best computers available in its class. It is powerful, a workhorse if you will, and very well designed in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
Apple iMac ME088LL/A 27-Inch Desktop is super thin from the sides and light enough for one-handed portability if required. The external body is the same as the 2012 model, which in itself was significantly improved over the 2011 version. The front glass seems to sit more flush with the body compared to the earlier version which had a tiny little gap. The back is slightly curved at the center and I am guessing all the components are packed in this bulge at the center back. Has a super sleek look to it overall.
Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of this iMac is its screen. Apple claims this model has 75 percent less glare than previous versions - there's no way for me to measure this but suffice it to say that even with the screen turned off, the screen is not really reflective. Given the amount of real estate you get combined with the stunning LED-backlit display, it's a pleasure using the screen with its vibrant colors and low glare. Once it's turned on, the reflections die down even further. Images are crisp and pictures we have taken with our DSLR camera seem further enhanced given the resolution of the screen. No retina display for iMacs just yet, but this is feels very very close to it.
Apple iMac had already done away with the optical drive, which means that to read/burn CDs or DVDs, we can either connect an external drive like Apple's Superdrive to the USB port, or feed off another PC/Mac (this has to be on the same network) that has a built-in optical drive. On the back, there is a SDXC memory card slot, couple of Thunderbolt ports, headphone jack, USB ports, and an ethernet port. It's good they are at the back since they avoid cable clutter from the desk.
The Apple iMac ME088LL/A Desktop comes with a wireless keyboard and a magic mouse. The keyboard is a standard Apple keyboard. The Magic Mouse also lets you scroll down lengthy web pages without having to move to the side to grab the scroll bar. Just a swipe of the finger on the mouse moves the page down or up. It can also be configured to register right clicks. Somewhat similar in terms of functionality to the magic trackpad.
The all-in-one iMac features a beautiful 27-inch widescreen display. Fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core processors and super-fast NVIDIA graphics make it the most powerful iMac yet. And it comes standard with 8GB memory, a 1TB hard drive, and advanced, high-speed I/O, including two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3 ports. All in an impossibly thin enclosure that’s only 5 mm at the edge.
