Apple today updated its iMac lineup,
dramatically reducing the thickness of the desktop machines and adding a
brand new Fusion Drive that combines flash storage and a traditional
disk-based hard drive to maximize both speed and capacity.
The iMac will come with both 21.5-inch and 27-inch displays, and includes a new fully laminated design to improve optical quality and a new anti-reflective coating.
The 27-inch iMac starts with a 2.9 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB hard drive starting at $1,799 and shipping in December.

Redesigned from the inside
out, the new iMac packs high-performance technology into an aluminum and
glass enclosure with up to 40 percent less volume than its predecessor
and an edge that measures just 5 mm thin. Built with an unprecedented
level of fit and finish, the new iMac delivers an amazing desktop
experience in a gorgeous design. The new iMac also features a completely
reengineered display that reduces reflection by 75 percent while
maintaining brilliant color and contrast. In the new design, the cover
glass is fully laminated to the LCD and an anti-reflective coating is
applied using a high-precision plasma deposition process. Every iMac
display is individually color calibrated using an advanced
spectroradiometer.
