The other differences between models lies in the main processor, either 2.7GHz or 2.9GHz Intel Core i5 ‘Haswell’. For memory, there’s the option of doubling to 16GB. Or you can cut straight to a purely flash-based drive, namely a 256 or 512GB SSD. You can opt for a 1TB Fusion drive, which melds the same notebook disk to a separate 128GB solid-state drive using OS X’s Core Storage technology.Īpple’s hybrid Fusion Drive gives most of the benefits of faster access, with plenty of storage space too. If you think you’ll ever want to expand either memory or storage in the future, you’d best do it at time of purchase. Neither storage nor memory is designed to be user replaceable, as they’re locked away behind a screen that’s literally glued in place. Both use 1TB hard drives – necessarily small laptop-sized 2.5in disks to squeeze inside – along with 8GB of memory.

This year’s update is subtle, and introduces two principal changes in technology over last year’s major refit. With all ports cleanly hidden behind, and free of the bluster and bolt-on fugliness of its imitators, the flat Apple iMac remains a design classic. But the essential physical layout is still the same – a widescreen panel set in single frame, with ‘chin’ below a screen that’s suspended on a single folded-aluminium foot.
