The updated iMac range starts at Rs 99,900 for the 21.5-inch version, while the 27-inch version starts at Rs 139,900.
In a rather quiet update announcement, Apple has made it official that the iMac desktop range has now received the Intel Haswell refresh. The upgrade has been done to both the 21.5-inch version and the 27-inch version. Like the 2013 MacBook Air, the iMac also supports Wireless 802.11ac standard. The entry level version will now feature 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive, and customers can upgrade that to 32GB RAM and up to 3TB hard drive.
“iMac continues to be the example that proves how beautiful, fast and fun a desktop computer can be,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Inside its ultra-thin aluminium enclosure, the new iMac has the latest Intel processors, faster graphics, next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi and faster PCIe flash storage.”
Apple has shared the India pricing of the new iMac desktops.
The entry level 21.5-inch iMac (2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 up to 3.2 GHz and Intel Iris Pro) is priced at INR 99,900 while the the slightly more powerful 21.5-inch iMac (2.9 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 up to 3.6 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M ) will retail at Rs 114,900.
The 27-inch iMac is available with a 3.2 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 755M for a suggested retail price of INR 139,900, while the 3.4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.8 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M for a suggested retail price of INR 154,900.
