Apple has just announced a brand-new Retina 27-inch iMac. Apple is spreading Retina displays across the lineup, with the iMac leading that charge. This is the highest resolution screen in the world, according to Apple, with 14.7 million pixels. This is a 5K display — more than seven times the pixels of a HDTV. The screen builds on the technology Apple built on the iPhone and iPad, but to a whole new scale.
The iMac is just 5mm at its thinnest point, maintaining the same thinness as the previous generation, despite the massive leap in pixel density.
Alongside resolution, the display has a greater contrast ratio to maximize detail. Meanwhile, Apple uses power-saving LEDS which decreases power use by 30%.
It also includes the fastest CPU chips, upgradeable to a 4 GHZ Intel Core i7. In terms of graphics, the iMac is 45% faster than the previous version. It also includes a Thunderbolt 2 port for faster IO.
This iMac will start at just $2499, shipping today.
