New 21.5-inch Apple iMac announced with 4K display

The 21.5-inch iMac is being updated today with a faster processor, faster RAM, and improved graphics. The most interesting update is the new option of a 4K display. It's a huge improvement over the old 1080p display, making the iMac's entire screen look sharp and vibrant .

Apple is using a new display tech on the 4K model which it claims can show 25 percent more colors — primarily reds, greens, and yellows. That means colors should be stronger and more accurate. It's not the kind of thing that lets you look at the display once and see how much better it is. The improved color reproduction is also coming to a refresh of the 27-inch 5K iMac.



he 21.5-inch iMac is also getting a spec update to meet up with current competition. The line hasn't really been updated in over two years, and today it's taking the step up to Intel's Broadwell processors. That may not sound very exciting — Broadwell is technically one generation old — but these are actually relatively new processors, having only made it out of Intel's factories in June. And while Skylake is out there, Skylake chips with Iris Pro graphics aren't, and that's probably the reason why the iMac is seeing what seems to be a delayed upgrade. Apple's cheapest iMac includes a 1.6GHz dual-core i5, while the 4K version begins with a 3.1GHz quad-core i5.



The processors upgrades mean that the higher-end iMac models also include Iris Pro graphics, which should be particularly useful for pushing around the 4K machine's extra pixels. RAM has also been improved across the board from 8GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 to 8GB of 1867GHz LPDDR3, upgradeable to 16GB.

The 4K iMac is said to start at a price of $1,499 while the regular 1080p models will go for $1,099.
