Apple has just completed and announced their upgrade of all of their iMacs to include a Retina Display. Specifically, their 21.5-inch iMac sports a Retina 4K display while all of their 27-inch iMacs now have a Retina 5K display.
So what does this mean? Well, the Retina Display is an Apple term that refers to the quality of the display. Retina Displays have such a high pixel density that you should be unable to see any individual pixels with the naked eye. That means about 300 pixels or more per inch.
Basically, we’re talking about incredibly crisp images with rich colors. The 21.5-inch iMac sports a 2304p resolution with 9.4 million pixels. That’s close to five times more than the previous “regular” 21.5-inch iMac.
The 27-inch iMac meanwhile, never to be outdone by it’s mini-me, features 14.7 million pixels. That’s about seven times more than a normal HD display. The 27-inch sports a 5K display which is really just a boost over the 4K’s pixels. While it’s definitely clearer you’re really getting to a point where you can barely detect the difference.
The new iMacs also include upgrades to the processing power and two Thunderbolt displays allowing wicked fast data transfer speeds.
Along with the updated computers Apple has redesigned and released the new trackpad, mouse and keyboard. The Magic Keyboard is slicker and more compact, the Magic Mouse 2 has just been given an upgrade for easier use and smoother glide and the Magic Trackpad 2 is larger for more space to “track.”
One cool addition is the added Force Touch feature to the trackpad making this the first time you can use this tech on a desktop computer.
The 27-inch iMac with the Retina 5K display starts at $1,7999 and goes all the way up to $2,299. The 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display starts at $1,099 and goes all the way up to $1,499. And of course you can buy any of the new accessories like the keyboard, mouse and trackpad separately. All are available at apple.com.
