Review: iMac 20"
Apple iMac 20”
Supplier : www.apple.co.za
Price : R13 999 (Updated pricing)
Lots of Apple detractors, read Microsoft fanboys (yes, there are, for some reason, a lot of these), quote a “limited range” as a downfall of the beautiful PC. I don’t really see that, yes it’s simplified somewhat compared to the often-bewildering array of options on a PC, but it’s actually pretty comprehensive covering desktop, notebook, server, and workstation in turn, just quite tightly-defined.
The four-variant desktop range begins with this baby, the 20” iMac. It’s powered by a 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU with 2GB DDR3 running at a comfortable 1066MHz. Storage comes courtesy of a 320GB HDD, and the well-known Superdrive optical combo. There’s an integrated nVidia GeForce 9400M which shares 256MB of main RAM for video memory, connected directly to that stunning 20” flat LCD, which sports a maximum resolution of 1680 X 1050 pixels, and a Mini Displayport for adding an external display if you wish. Stereo speakers with a built-in amplifier deliver the audio while the built-in iSight camera and microphone mean you’re immediately video-conference ready.
In terms of connectivity it’s comprehensive. One fully Gigabit-Ethernet capable LAN port, a solitary Firewire 800 port and six USB ports, built-in Bluetooth and the fastest available WiFi specification 802.11n also integrated in the package. And you get all of that packaged into the superbly attractive, slimline little aluminium chassis which just makes any desk look immediately less cluttered and classier overall.
And possibly the best part of it all, is that you simply haul the iMac from it’s packaging. Plug the keyboard into a USB port, the MightyMouse into the keyboard, and the power cable into the rear of the unit, reach around the back for the power switch, and you’ll immediately be up and away with full functionality from this well-chosen hardware mix. It’s really all very impressive, and I haven’t even got to the strongest point yet, which is all the software.
