Todays i Mac has come a long way from the first 15-inch i Mac. Take one look & youll see just how far. A display with edge-to-edge glass covers nearly the entire front of the enclosure. When all you see is the display, nothing gets between you & whats onscreen. Movies, TV shows, Face Time HD video calls, websites, photos
- everything looks stunning on the widescreen 16:9 i Mac display. The more pixels a display has, the more light those pixels need to achieve the best picture possible. & thats exactly what the LED backlighting in i Mac does: it pushes light through each pixel with remarkable brightness & efficiency. Because the LED backlight doesnt take up much space, the i Mac enclosure stays thin
- even with all the high-performance components inside. The widescreen i Mac display allows more room to separate the two hottest components, the CPU & the GPU. This keeps things cool inside the i Mac enclosure. Apple engineers also implemented an intelligent control system that monitors temperatures & delivers just the right amount of airflow to critical components. & the three fans inside i Mac have been tuned to be ultra quiet, so you hardly know its on. Watching a movie, updating your blog, editing photos. Tasks like these require data to travel from place to place. The Intel Core architecture puts the processor, cache, memory controller, & graphics engine on a single chip. Since data doesnt have as far to travel, you get faster performance & greater efficiency. Thunderbolt technology has arrived
- & Apple computers are the first to have it. With one tiny port, you get lightning-fast transfer speeds & huge expansion capabilities. Two 10-Gbps data channels per port mean you can transfer data up to 12 times faster than with Fire Wire 800. & dont worry about a single drive or peripheral tying up the Thunderbolt port: you can daisy-chain as many as six devices plus a display.
