Apple iMac 27-inch (Core 2 Duo) another classy addition to our Multimedia System Reviews

The iMac comes with 3.06-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors (a Core 2 Duo E7600 in this case) can even be upgraded to 3.33 GHz. The 27-inch system also comes with 4GB of DDR3 memory with an option for up to 16GB, a 1TB hard drive, and ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics -upgradeable to a Radeon HD 4850 chip and a optional Apple remote. Sadly though the iMac only sports one extra SD card slot.

The 27 inch screen is LED backlit and looks clear and can be viewed from a wide angel with perfect clarity. The wireless keyboard and mouse combo along with the black bezel ring and aluminum gives the iMac a classy look that sets it apart from others.

The 27-inch iMac's Mini Display Port can be used to connect one of Apple's 24-inch LED-backlit displays, or displays with a DVI or VGA adapter if one screen is just not enough for you. The blu-ray player, satellite / cable box, or game console like a PS3 or Xbox 360 with a third-party HDMI cable to a Mini Display Port adapter can be hooked with the system do it really becomes your entire entertainment system.

The new wireless magic mouse is two-finger track-pad that can be used for both the left and right click and unlike some Mac mice it can used effortlessly. The EPEAT Gold, Energy Star 5.0, corporate-sponsored take-back recycling programs, recyclable actions and energy efficiency are the green ratings for IMAC making it attractive for users looking to do their part to help the environment.

Our Multimedia Computer Review show that it runs Crysis at 1,280-by-1,024 resolution, and World in Conflict was smooth at 53fps at the same resolution. This proves to be faster than the PC rivals in the competitive marketplace. The quad-core processor is needed for faster performance and the iMac shows you why the first time you turn it on. With awesome performance and attractive design features this model will grab the hearts of all multimedia lovers
