Apple's fiscal first-quarter shipments said to rise by 434 percent quarter over quarter due to new iMac.
Apple's newly unveiled iMac could boost the company's desktop sales, according to one analyst. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a research note that he expects Apple to report 264,000 desktop unit sales in its fiscal fourth quarter that ended in September.
The sales represent a 79 percent decline when compared to the same period in 2011. Kuo, however, believes Apple's fiscal first-quarter shipments will rise by 434 percent quarter over quarter due to the new iMac.
The computer itself is just 5mm thick at its edge and offers a new display that apparently reduces reflection by 75 percent. It boasts a quad-core Intel Core i5 CPU, Nvidia Kepler graphics, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 3 TB of HDD storage or a 768 GB SSD.
The 21.5-inch version of the system will launch next month with prices starting at $1,299. A 27-inch model will release sometime during December with a starting price of $1,799.
So it should be $699? Man you're clueless. Apple trolls are just ridiculous.
Each LED IPS panel will be individually color calibrated to match world standards and also these are style-computers. Those are premium features and will increase the price. I think they may tempt photographers or videographer aficionados, or some CAD and graphic artists and professionals looking for an affordable hi end consumer solution. For a dedicated workstation PC look else where. But these are not intended either as the ultimate professional PCs. However lets find out how good or accurate the screen will be.
I personally wouldn't buy it, but show me any alternative machine that meets similar design and specs of this for $600 less.
At least they're giving enthusiasts who want OS X the option to also play demanding games when they dual boot to windows. I don't think there's any game this computer can't handle.
Literally the only con I can think of is price.
SSD is a nice addition though. And good riddance to the CD/DVD drive.
It ships stock with a GT 650M (on the 23.5-inch model) and a GTX 660M (on the 27-inch model). The 27-inch model is also upgradable to a GTX 680MX (which is a more powerful version of the 680M). It's hardly lacking spec-wise on any front, especially for an AIO.
Yep, analyst from apple.
What is world standards and what are style-computers? Also, if you are into photography, you just need something like the NEC PA271W and not necessarily the whole package.
I hear you and it's always best to never buy a new computer design or OS until it has been out for at least a couple months.
Yes, because photographers, graphic artists, and so forth love nothing more than having a glossy sheet of glass on their screens...
apple just want to tell you what you need, as to give options. Just bought a hp workstation for work.
Its kills every apple in its path.
