The 27-inch iMac offers and impressive 5K display (or 5210 x 2880 resolution) that packs 14.7 million pixel, making it the world’s highest-resolution display, according to Apple, or 7 times more pixels than an HDTV. Obviously, Apple has come up with a marketing name for the display — the Retina 5K display.
The display uses 30% less energy even though it has a 5K resolution featuring technologies such as a timing controller, and organic passivation.
Other specs include a 3.5GHz Intel i5 processor (4GHz Intel i7 configuration is also available), 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics, 1TB fusion drive and Thunderbolt 2 ports.
When it comes to design, the Retina iMac is even slimmer, measuring just 5mm at the edge.
The Retina iMac costs $2,499 and will start shipping on Thursday.
