Overview

Bigger and better inside, but still compact and space-friendly on the outside.

From any view, this iMac Desktop computer is impressive. Its profile is amazingly slim, turning your workspace from a cluttered desktop into a brilliant display podium. Little compares to sitting in front of the glossy 24" LCD widescreen display framed in anodized aluminum and glass cover. Its 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution make photos and movies come alive with rich color. The use of recyclable glass and aluminum makes the Apple iMac friendlier to the environment, too.

Nothing peripheral about it

The keyboard includes special function keys for one-touch control of Mac features, and two USB 2.0 ports provide high-speed connectivity to your iPod, Mighty Mouse, digital camera, and other devices.
