  • The 1TB hard disk is more than a little disappointing, as is the fairly significant cost of upgrading to a Fusion Drive and a Magic Trackpad 2, and don't get me started on the placement of those ports, but the cheapest 21.5in iMac is a capable and well-bu...

  • Apple upgrades the 21.5-inch iMac with a stunning 4K-resolution display, along with faster processors and Thunderbolt 2. The redesigned keyboard, mouse and trackpad all have rechargeable batteries and lightning connectors
  • The new processors are still one generation behind Intel's latest and there are no discrete graphics options. No HDMI input means it can't double as a TV monitor
  • The smallest Apple iMac trades up to a 4K display, and jumps to newer, but still not the latest, processors. While the design hasn't changed, newly crafted accessories with rechargeable batteries and Lightning connectors add flair and convenience...

  • Abstract:  My four-year-old 21.5-inch iMac has been my faithful productivity work horse. Despite refreshes in design and chip upgrades to Apple's all-in-one (AIO) computer over that time, I have never felt an urge to upgrade. Until now. The new 21.5-inch iMac comes...

  • La pantalla por la resolución, pero también por el color y el contraste, Que los periféricos sean recargables. Ya era hora, El diseño. No nos hemos aburrido todavía
  • El disco duro. Fusion Drive debería ser la opción por defecto, Que el Fusion Drive más barato sólo tenga 24 GB de flash, La gráfica integrada. Ok para el modelo base, pero un ordenador con pantalla 4K debería tener la opción de una GPU dedicada, ¿Me lo co
  • Hay muchas razones para querer una pantalla 4K: los móviles ya graban vídeo a esa definición (también el iPhone), el texto es más legible, caben más ventanas en la pantalla, la experiencia de editar fotos está a otro nivel. El problema es que esta panta...

  • Apple actualiza su iMac de 12.5 pulgadas con una pantalla 4K impresionante, junto con nuevos procesadores y Thunderbolt 2. El nuevo teclado, mouse y 'trackpad' integran baterías recargables y conectores Lightning.
  • Los procesadores no son de la generación más reciente, no hay opción de tarjeta de video dedicada y no tiene puerto HDMI
  • La iMac más pequeña ofrece hasta una pantalla 4K y nuevas especificaciones, pero no incluye los procesadores más recientes de Intel y su diseño no ha cambiado. El teclado, mouse y 'trackpad' tienen los mayores cambios de diseño, integrando baterías recar...

  • L'écran Retina d'excellente qualité, Les performances du processeur, Le SSD ultra rapide, Les nouveaux clavier et souris, Le design et la qualité de fabrication, Le silence de fonctionnement
  • Aucune évolution possible sur la RAM, Une puce graphique intégrée, Aucun port USB Type-C, Le prix supérieur à un gros iMac 27" 5K
  • Cumuler toutes ces options forme une machine performante et confortable, à l'exception de la puce graphique qui n'est pas mauvaise, mais certainement pas au niveau d'excellence d'autres éléments comme l'écran et le SSD. Cependant, au vu du prix total, est...

  • Design, qualité de fabrication, magnifique écran Retina 4K avec colorimétrie P3, clavier et souris de nouvelle génération, performances globales.
  • Connectique à l'arrière, pas d'accès à la mémoire vive, disque dur mécanique à 5400 tours par minutes
  • L'iMac 21,5 pouces passe au Retina. De ce point de vue, la réussite est totale. L'écran 4K propose une image magnifique. L'Apple iMac 21,5" Retina 4K bénéficie aussi de la souris et du clavier de nouvelle génération, dispose d'une puissance conforta...
