Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) still makes computers. The Cupertino-based tech giant just unveiled a new line of iMac computers. The 21.5 inch iMac features a 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor. It also features Iris Pro graphics to ensure a better visual experience.

Both the 27-inch and 21.5-inch models have quad-core i5 processors as well as NVDIA GeForce GTX 700 series. Another plus for the line of iMacs is that they support 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The senior vice president for Worldwide Marketing for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Phillip Schiller explained, “iMac continues to be the example that proves how beautiful, fast and fun a desktop computer can be. Inside its ultra-thin aluminium enclosure, the new iMac has the latest Intel processors, faster graphics, next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi and faster PCIe flash storage.”
The iMac computer is Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s answer to traditional desktop computers. Not only do these computers look sleeker and more upscale, they also offer a more premium experience. Like the iPhone and iPad, users will pay an equally premium price.
