The editors didn't like
Spinning hard drives. Spring for the Fusion Drive upgrade
Haswell's fine
But Broadwell is right around the corner
Nonupgradable RAM
Slow
Limitedcapacity 5400RPM drive
Only iMac without four processing cores
Severe cost-cutting to come in just $200 below older model
Relatively weak graphic
Inconvenient port placement
This lower-cost model has a small hard drive and laptop-like CPU and graphics performance compared to the more-expensive iMac configurations. It lacks even basic user upgradability
Configuration options limited to storage
System effectively sealed
RAM is not upgradeable
Target display mode only supports Thunderbolt
Much slower than the next model up. Pretty poor value for money
The 21.5-inch iMac is a beautiful all-in-one desktop Mac, starting at a reasonable £899. For that price you get a Mac that is fine for everyday tasks but a little slow for more labour-intensive jobs like editing photos and videos, but it's still capable o...

Adaptable System Recovery (ASR) for Linux virtual machines Review Two data points do not a trend make, but the two most recent Mac updates from Apple have been more notable for their price cuts than for any innovative technologies or eye-catching desig...

While it includes some performance and graphics concessions on the lowest priced model, the 21.5-inch iMac brings Apple's iconic design and top-notch bundled accessories and software to a wider audience....
This new range of iMacs benefits most from the price drop when compared to last year's line up. While there is the new £899 model on offer, we think it will be worth paying the £150 extra to upgrade to the 2.7GHz model.Share this articleFind the b...
New low cost model, whole range has seen a price reduction
Specs haven't really changed significantly, low cost model is certainly an entrylevel prospect
The new iMacs for 2014 are not very different to last year's models, at least not on the surface. We will be testing the new models as soon as we can get our hands on them to see how much of a difference a new generation of Intel chips makes, presuming th...

The price of buying an iMac just went down. The big question: Is a 15 percent lower price worth 50 percent lower performance? For people who buy Macs for their ease of use, stylish design, and seamless integration with iOS devices, this less expensive mod...
Abstract: In case you have been thinking of buying an all-in-one (AIO) computer, Apple just came up with a tempting new entry-level iMac. At $1,488, it is cheaper than many AIO computers in the market. But unlike many AIOs, which tend to be - let's face it - bulky...

design, qualité de fabrication, qualité de l'affichage, silencieux, peu de chauffe.
connectique à l'arrière, pas d'accès à la mémoire vive, sacrifices trop important pour uen économie de 200 €
Design et finition, Excellent écran, Partie audio de qualité, Bonne gestion des températures, Silencieux, Consommation très faible
Partie graphique peu performante, Mauvais positionnement des connecteurs, Pas évolutif, Prix des options de stockage
Ce nouvel iMac "d'entrée de gamme" ne déçoit pas et propose tous les avantages de la série et des performances honnêtes malgré un processeur moins puissant. Cependant, il écope aussi des mêmes points faibles, dont l'absence de tuner TNT, une puce graphiqu...
