Review - Apple iMac 20″ - Part 1

On April 2008, Apple updated their iMac line, the all-in-one desktop computers, giving it a particular design that makes it look like a simple LCD monitor. The small size of the components and the high integration have allowed Apple to place their piece of hardware behind the liquid crystal panel.

However, the iMac line was the last one to be updated, since the arrival of the first Penryn processors around January last yaer, Apple has preferred to update their MacBook and MacBook Pro systems. Not to mention that they also launched the MacBook Air at the beginning of last year as well.

During this review, we’ll be analyzing a 20″ iMac system, equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo “Penryn” processor with 2.66GHz and with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video system. The iMac line has other models as well, and some will be mentioned briefly in this review. We also had a chance to test the Time Capsule, a new feature presented by Apple that helps those that are looking for a NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution for their ogn backup. Time Capsule incorporates, in fact, a disk that can be connected to a Mac or Windows system through the network (cable or wireless).
