APPLE iMAC 21.5" ALL-IN-ONE PC
4K / i5 3.0GHz / 8GB RAM
256SSD / RADEON PRO 560X
The all-in-one for all.
If you can dream it, you can do it on iMac. It’s beautifully designed, incredibly intuitive, and packed with powerful tools that let you take any idea to the next level. And the new 27‑inch model elevates the experience in every way, with faster processors and graphics, expanded memory and storage, enhanced audio and video capabilities, and an even more stunning Retina 5K display. It’s the desktop that does it all — better and faster than ever.
Retina Display
Draws you in. Blows you away.
Everything looks better on a Retina display, with its 1 billion colours and 500 nits of brightness. Photos and graphics leap off the screen. Text is super-sharp. And for the first time, the 27‑inch iMac features True Tone technology for a more natural viewing experience and a nano-texture glass option to reduce glare to the barest minimum.
Nano-Texture Glass
Minimum glare. Maximum detail.
First seen on the Pro Display XDR, the nano-texture glass option on the 27‑inch iMac is a game-changer for workspaces with sunlight, direct light or changing lighting conditions. Unlike typical matt display coatings, the nano-texture is etched into the glass at the nanometre level. This reduces glare while preserving contrast, for jaw-dropping image quality.
Processor and Memory
From fast to fasten your seatbelt.
iMac and powerful processors go hand in hand. Up to a 6‑core Intel Core i7 processor gives the 21.5-inch iMac all the power you need for creating in Photoshop, editing video or making music. And the 27-inch model offers up to a 10-core Intel Core i9 processor to sail through heavy tasks like layering dozens of audio tracks or compiling and testing code.
Graphics
Next-level. At any level.
The graphics on iMac make everything a sight to behold. The 21.5-inch model comes with AMD Radeon Pro 500X series graphics, and can be configured with an AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 GPU to power through tasks like 3D rendering or complex video effects with ease. And the 27-inch model brings AMD Radeon Pro 5000 series graphics with up to 16GB of GDDR6 memory for graphics-intensive workflows like editing UHD video or developing lifelike game environments.
Storage
More space. More speed.
All-flash SSD storage is now standard on all iMac models, bringing high capacity and lightning speed. And the 27‑inch iMac can now be configured up to a whopping 8TB SSDwith up to 3.4GB/s sequential read and write speeds,for astoundingly fast access to all your photo and video libraries, massive files and pro apps.
Camera, Speakers and Mics
Mics, camera, action.
From crystal-clear video calls and voice recordings to music and movies that fill the room, iMac is a star performer when it comes to communications and content. The 27‑inch iMac now features a 1080p FaceTime HD camera and a studio-quality three-mic array. And the T2 chip acts in concert with the speakers to enable variable EQ and an enhanced bass response, so all your content can have big, balanced high-fidelity sound.
Apple T2 Security Chip
Your own private security detail.
The Apple T2 Security Chip comes to the 27‑inch iMac, with a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities. The T2 chip also enables powerful features like the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, face detection, enhanced speaker bass response and “Hey Siri” — and makes transcoding HEVC video up to twice as fast as the previous generation.
Connectivity
Packed with ports. And possibilities.
Every iMac features two super-fast Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C) ports and four USB-A ports, giving you plenty of high-performance options for connecting external drives, cameras, displays and more. All iMac models come with a 1Gb Ethernet port, and now you can configure the 27‑inch iMac with 10Gb Ethernet for up to 10 times the throughput of the previous generation. Ultra-fast Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard on every iMac, and the 27-inch model features Bluetooth 5.0, so you’re instantly connected to your favourite content and wireless devices.
Apple Accessories
Rechargeable. Remarkable.
Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard pair perfectly with iMac and are included in the box. If you’re looking for extra functionality, Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and Magic Trackpad 2 offer some impressive options.
