New iMac 2012 Review

The new iMac is is beautifully designed, with a third-generation Intel Ivy Bridge processor, Nvidia's latest graphic cards, a larger hard drive, all from the 2012 PC trend line. The new iMac is fast, great to look at, and it comes with a ton of features for its price. Anyone could easily recommend the all-new 27-inch iMac for those who want a fast, all-around computer.


-Design-

Though the iMac may look very thin from the front, there is actually an enormouse bulge on its back. Even with the bulge, the iMac still has an excellent design, and the bulge won't be noticed unless viewed at an extreme angle. Apple has made the 27-inch screen of the new iMac a lot less reflective. It's not perfect, but reflections are made more subtle and harder to notice. The design of the new iMac is surprisingly sturdy.

-Performance-

The iMac Geforce GTX 680 MX is the best mobile graphic card, and the most powerful GPU (graphics processing unit) in any all-in-one computer, other than the HP Z1. The iMac's powerful graphics card can run almost virtually anything, including some of the most demanding games for the OS X, such as the Witcher 2, at max settings.
The iMac includes a Fusion Drive, which means it has 1TB (terrabyte, or 1024GB) mechanical hard-drive and a 128GB solid-state drive (SSD), together forming about 1.2TB. The files that are used most frequently are loaded from the solid-state drive. Fusion basically speeds up application loading times, transferring of files, and just about any drive-related activity. Launching just about anything on the iMac happens almost instantly.


-Conclusion-

The design is probably the most interesting feature about the iMac. A nice, thin bezel would be nice, but apparently that doesn't speed up processing power or overall utility. This all-new 2012 iMac is probably best for hardcore/serious, performance-driven users, those who need a high resolution display, incredible graphics, and disk performance.
