If you’re still holding out hope for an iMac with a non-glossy screen, I hate to tell you this, but it’s time to move on. We could barely notice any light leakage with the other new iMacs.
We also looked for light leakage on the iMac display, and in our testing, it was more noticeable on our 27-inch 2.8GHz Core i5-though it was only noticeable with a solid black desktop and not enough to affect everyday use for general users. We weren’t able to notice a tint or color shift with the week-old iMacs in our lab, nor did we notice anything wrong when we tested our older 27-inch 2.66GHz Core i5 iMac from late 2009. To see if the new iMacs had similar problems, we used a yellow-tint test created by a reader at MacRumors. Some customers who bought a late 2009 iMac complained of yellow-tinted displays. The fourth iMac, a $1999 27-inch model, sports a 2.8GHz Core i5 quad-core processor with 8MB of level 3 cache. The $1199 21.5-inch iMac has a 3.06GHz Core i3, while the $1499 21.5-inch iMac and the $1699 27-inch iMac both feature 3.2GHz Core i3 processors. Apple now uses dual-core Intel Core i3 processors with 4MB of Level 3 cache in three of the new iMacs.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processors found in the lower-end iMacs of the previous generation are gone. And though the four new iMacs (two 21.5-inch models and two 27-inch models) released in July provide only small speed boosts, these latest desktops will make most customers very happy. While the Mac business is a more mature product line than Apple’s mobile device lineup, it remains an important segment-both to Apple and the customers who use the Mac. But the Mac isn’t entirely out of the picture. There’s little doubt that 2010 is the year of the iPad and iPhone for Apple, with the company largely focusing on the new kids on the block.
