My First Experiences With the iMac 27″ Core i7
In October 2009 Apple announced two new iMac models. One with a 21,5” display and another with a 27” display. I had looked for a new computer for a while and knew that I wanted something powerful, however not as powerful and expensive as the Mac Pro.
I looked on the Apple website and found that the 27″ iMac was available with a quad-core Intel processor, either an Intel Core i5 at 2,66GHz or an Intel Core i7 at 2.8GHz. After becoming addicted to it on the Apple site, I tried a dual-core 27″ in an Apple Reseller Store. It was huge but I loved the high resolution screen and the LED backlighting made it pop against the already astounding Apple 24″ LED Cinema Display.
