Apple IMac MB950LL-A 21.5-inch Desktop Review (3.06Ghz, 4GB RAM, Snow Leopard OS)

Specifications: The new Apple iMac MB950LL / A desktop has a very powerful set of specs that will set the standards for the many high-end desktop models to come. This 21.5-inch all-in-one desktop has a 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, a 500GB hard drive, 4GB of RAM (upgradeable to 16GB!) And a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. All of its other features are also top notch, with 802.11a / b / g / n wi-fi, Bluetooth 2.1, 17-watt built-in stereo speakers and a full 21.5-inch HD screen (1920 x 1080 resolution). This would be the ultimate desktop model if Apple decides to throw in a Blu-ray drive (it has a 8x DVD SuperDrive instead). All in all, this is one of the most powerful Apple desktop models yet!

Design: The Apple iMac MB950LL / A measures at 20.8 x 7.42 x 17.75 inches and weighs 20.5 pounds. Typically, this model maintained the classic Apple desktop design. The DVD slot is located on the side and most of the ports / connectors are neatly lined up behind the unit.

Features & Performance: Beside a new set of powerful specs, the Apple iMac MB950LL / A does come with a couple of other new features. For instance, it now comes with Apple's new Magic mouse, which is touted as the world's first multi-touch mouse. The mouse can perform a variety of functions with the use of different finger gestures. Apple has also improved its speakers. They are located below the screen (hidden away from view) and produces much better audio quality than the older generations of desks. It also comes with the latest Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard OS. With a new 3.06Ghz processor, Snow Leopard OS and the whole host of new features, this new range of Apple iMac desktop has once again secured its reign as the king of high-end designer desks and best of all, the price is also right . Currently the Apple iMac MB950LL / A retails for just around $ 1188, an amazing deal for a desktop of these standards.
