Apple iMac 21.5-inch, 500GB

 

The massive 27-inch version of the iMac starts at a hefty $1,799 (£1,449 or AU$2,199), but the smaller 21.5-inch version was, until recently, a serious-but-reasonable $1,299 (£1,049 or AU$1,599). Rather than cutting the price of its base model, as...

The new entry level 21.5-inch Apple iMac is now only $100 more than the (already discounted) 13-inch Macbook Air. The display, design, and build quality remain top-notch, and it includes high-end features such as Thunderbolt, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and...

This lower-cost model has a small hard drive and laptop-like CPU and graphics performance compared to the more-expensive iMac configurations. It lacks even basic user upgradability.

While it includes some performance and graphics concessions on the lowest priced model, the 21.5-inch iMac brings Apple's iconic design and top-notch bundled accessories and software to a wider audience.

Apple iMac 21.5” Review

 

Haswell-powered performance and a vivid display make this an attractive, if somewhat pricey, all-in-one option.

Stunning design ; Bright, vivid display ; Strong Haswell performance ; Extensive app suite ; Welcome OS X Mavericks improvements

Somewhat cramped keyboard ; Hard-to-reach ports ; A little pricey

Apple's refreshed 21.5-inch iMac benefits from Haswell power and a sleeker-than-ever design.

There's little doubt that 2010 is the year of the iPad and iPhone for Apple, with the company largely focusing on the new kids on the block.r

The iMac is a great product - superior design and hardware, and in most cases an intuitive user interface.
