Apple Product of the Day by Scott Morris

Today, the Apple product of the day is the iMac.

The new iMac of course comes in 27 inches and 21.5 inches. All of the new iMacs are now quad-core, not just the $1,999 model. The iMac includes one Thunderbolt port on the 21.5 inch models, and two Thunderbolt ports on the 27 inch models, which is really cool because you can have up to three displays, (including the iMac) but that's just for the really hardcore movie/photo editors. And of course, like all Macintosh computers, the iMac is very green. The iMac is BFR and PVC free, it has a Mercury free-LED-backlit display. The display glass is Arsenic free, and the iMac has highly recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures. The iMac meets the ENERGY STAR 5.2 requirements, and is rated EPEAT Gold. In the box, you get the iMac, (duh) you have a choice between the Apple Magic Mouse and The Apple Magic Trackpad, (wireless) the power cord, install/restore DVDs, and a printed and electronic documentation. The iMac comes with iLife "11, and Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The camera built in to the iMac is bumped up from the iSight camera to the FaceTime HD camera, which shoots at a stunning HD 720p quality. Apple has done away with the Intel Core i3 processor, and the iMacs only have the i5, but you can configure the $1,499 model to have a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and you can configure the $1,999 model to have a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.
I rate this this computer 5 out of 5 stars, and I really like the iMac and Apple. I'm very sorry to say that this is gonna be the last Apple Product of the day because the blog is being shut down. So if you're looking to buy a new computer you should get the new iMac or the recently refreshed MacBook Pro.
