Apple - iMac - Technical Specifications

The view is perfect, whatever your project. An amazing new 20-inch widescreen display that can show more than two full pages of text and graphics side by side; a dazzling 17-inch widescreen display that offers the same screen area as a 19-inch CRT; a compact 15-inch display that delivers nearly the same viewable area as bulky 17-inch CRT displays — with twice the brightness, sharpness and contrast. Remarkably, they all have the same small footprint (just 10.6 inches in diameter). Thanks to some nifty hardware engineering, the iMac’s dome-shaped base houses the entire computer: central processing unit (CPU), logic board, hard drive, optical drive and power supply. Fact is, inside this easy-to-use system, you’ll find everything you need to make movies, burn your own music CDs and DVDs and manage your digital photo albums. There’s even a music store that lets you sample, buy and download your favorite music in digital format. And because it takes up such little space, you can put your iMac in places where you previously might not have considered keeping a computer, like your bedroom, living room or kitchen — just about wherever, in fact, you’d like to use it. What’s more, since the iMac is wireless-ready, you don’t even have to place it near a phone jack. Simply pop in an AirPort Extreme Card, hook up an AirPort Extreme Base Station to your phone line, DSL connection or cable modem, and you can surf the Internet wirelessly.
