Apple iMacs have sported the same form factor for a few years now. But they continue to be attractive. Made of aluminium, this 2011 edition of the iMac is quite the machine. The beautiful outer layer incorporates a 21.5 inch LED screen which is powered by AMD Radeon 675 mobile graphics processor. Sadly, it does not come with a Blu-ray player, only a DVD slot. However, one can play downloaded HD content in its full beauty.

- Wi-Fi
- Thunderbolt
- USB2.0 ports
- Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
The speakers are neatly hidden under the screen. These speakers are loud but not very clear at high volume. At the back you find a couple of USB 2.0, Firewire and the new Thunderbolt ports. The last allows users to connect external memory drives and transfer data at much higher speeds. The innards have seen a major facelift. The iMac now comes with the 2nd generation SandyBridge Intel Quad Core i5 processor 2.5 GHz, a 4 GB DDR3 RAM and a 500GB (7200 rpm) hard drive.
When we put it on the rack, it returned a remarkable score of 227.21 points in Cinebench. Application-wise there is not much added to the laptop. Facetime supplements chatting with friends and family on other iOS devices like the iPhone 4or iPad 2. Older applications include the famous Garage Band, iMovie and iPhoto software. The earlier bluetooth wireless keyboard has been retained. So has the wireless magic mouse. Appe has not given the iMac much of a physical surgery, but, within they have replaced the old with the new. The price has also come down but might pinch some buyers.
