The iMac&rsquo;s screen is its most impressive feature. <\/p>\n<p>It houses the entire computer &mdash; there is no separate case housing the motherboard, hard drive and processor. The bright, crisp, 24-inch screen (resolution: 1920 x 1200 pixels) is a pleasure to work on, even when there&rsquo;s bright light streaming in from outside. The display area is big enough to allow two applications to run next to each other on-screen. <\/p>\n<p>Because the new iMacs have Intel processors, they can also run Windows using Apple software called Boot Camp. The machine comes with a high-end ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card &mdash; great for gaming and video editing. <\/p>\n<p>But it ships with 1GB of memory, which, I quickly discovered, is not sufficient for anything beyond basic tasks. But it&rsquo;s quick and easy to install new memory &mdash; there&rsquo;s a slot at the base of the screen. The only big problem I&rsquo;ve had so far is its cheap and nasty keyboard, which gives me mild electric shocks whenever I touch the edge of it. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no doubt that Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new Intel-based iMacs are works of art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
