The most personal of personal computers comes out packing a powerful punch thanks to the 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2MB of L2 cache. The result? Turbocharged performance, making it easier-and more fun-than ever to work with digital photos, movies, music, and the web.
Dazzling Displays
Whether you're surfing the web, editing video, managing photos, or enjoying face-time with far-flung friends, you'll thoroughly enjoy the lush visual experience of working on iMac. With excellent color saturation, the iMac features a cinematic 16:10 wide aspect ratio that's perfect for watching movies.
It's a wonderful iLife
iMac comes with iLife '06, a suite of easy-to-use applications that make the spectacular a regular part of your everyday life. Enhance, organize and share your photos via iPhoto. Make an epic starring your kid in iMovie. Turn your photo and movie creations into professional DVDs with iDVD. Create original music in GarageBand, even if you can't carry a tune. Make podcasts and blogs. Then publish them online via your .Mac account and the new iWeb.
The ultimate see and say
There's an iSight camera built into every new iMac, so you can start a video chat (or join one) at a moment's notice. There's nothing extra to buy, nothing to attach, no cords to fumble with, no software to install or configure. Simply start up iChat AV, click your buddy's video icon and you're ready to chat with sight and sound-with up to three friends at once. Proper attire suggested.
Now showing
With iMac, you've got the best seat in the house. The full-screen Front Row media experience-with its intuitive menus, large text and brilliant graphics-lets you browse the music, photos, and videos on your iMac as easily as you browse music on your iPod. And the new Apple Remote lets you do your browsing from anywhere in the room. So gather your friends and dazzle them with a slideshow of your vacation pics, a home movie or a DVD. iMac was born to entertain.
