Apple’s 27 inch iMac “The center of my digital universe”

Apple has a new product called the iMac. It is a new desktop and is 27 inch wide screen.  On this Mac it has an i5 processor if you want more speed then there is the i7 processor. It has a good amount of memory; four GB of RAM and five hundred GB of hard drive. The screen is a 2560 by 1440 which is a big screen. The screen swivels and goes up and down on a hinge and also the iMac could be on a mounted on a wall. There is a built-in a camera/webcam on the top center of the computer.  On the Mac there is four 2.0 USB ports and has a headphone jack and an audio jack.  There is a SDXC slot that accepts SDXC, SDHC, SD card. It is easier to surf the web, instead of two tabs there could be two web browsers side to side. You can plug in to external video into the Mac and it could display pictures and videos. Also on the Mac you can edit movies, so the parts that are inappropriate for young children can be deleted. 

There is one bad thing that I found about this iMac that to upgrade to 16GB of RAM it cost about on thousand dollars of parts to upgrade or replaces is very expensive.

This iMac looks like it was made for perfection but I have some pros and cons about this Mac. First that it’s a very, very large desktop but there isn’t a tower so it would  less hooking up and once you take it out the box all you probably need to do is put it into the outlet and you are set. And it cost 1,699 and to me that seem like a lot of money to be putting into a computer and also times are hard and people are not going to buy computers at this time. That’s really what I think about it everything else is fine.
