Simple, strong and very beautiful (Version with graphics card and PCI SSD)

The design of the iMac Late 2013 is truly breathtaking. Looks very classy and makes a perfect impression of simplicity, perfection and strength. The hinge can be super easy to move and is also fixed in the desired position. The base of an aluminum part disappears into the thin iMac enclosure when the display is tilted. The aluminum case feels very pleasant. Only below for speakers should not mind beating since the metal is very thin.

So little cable is the iMac a full-fledged strong computer (in the respective option for gamers, musicians, photographers or video cutter) with good Lautpsrechern, Super IPS HD display, webcam and two micros. A high-quality Apple keyboard and mouse is also included plus of course a full-fledged operating system with all the programs for video cutting, making music and office activities. For all of these components and functions of the iMac only requires a cable specifically the power cord. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi is also installed and thus it is incredibly easy to connect. This is total madness !!! When you consider how many cable and one place at a PC with Tower Speakers, Webcam Monitor and needs everything. There were about 8 cable more and if not 3 times at room! However, I have now been connected some cable because I use the wired keyboard, an external HDD, printers and a HDMI completion of my TV (via Mini DisplayPort / Thunderbolt).

The display is of course in the foreground and with strong color a large viewing angles and very bright picture saw photos and games never better. Is really a very good display with great black levels thus also the frame does not really stand disturbing. It shows the difference that a entspeigelungs layer with the least Speigelund the display. I have next to the iMac, a window on the display is, my old Glossy monitor has here very strongly mirrored on my desk. In my opinion, the display is the Imac more beautiful than any other monitors .... but that's a matter of taste.

The wireless keyboard has all controls and makes a great impression. However, she feels by the lighter weight but inferior as the Wired and I lack not only the Numernpad but also the delete key (also works with Fn + Backspace). The Magic Mouse like it very much after a short familiarization period is she become my favorite flat ones (except for games). But use plus the trackpad because it includes even more gestures and thus the Photo edit and look even better service brings.

Meanwhile, I have the iMac now already are six months and I'm still impressed. OS X, I use already are already 2 1/2 years on an old Mac mini late 2012, and by the more powerful hardware, it is now even faster.

Play games performance with Mac is really very good. Would borderlands tested 2, Coast and Max Payne 3. loast All games were played with very high details and at 1080p without problems.

Under Windows it is also impressive, hard to believe that everything is in the display! Skyrim and fifa14 could be played at "very high" in 1080p super.
Property me now watchdogs and Battlefield 4 brought to go even further and it looks really stunning. Here comes the 21.5 "iMac Although its limits (fan becomes audible, otherwise you can hear him not at all ;-)) but that are also absolute graphics bombs need immense power. Games they. Nevertheless to 1080p and high to medium details With the 27 and a 4GB graphics card and the maximum would be here but there, if someone wishes.

Summary:

Positive
- Design and processing madness
- Price / performance very good
- Four devices in one housing
- Silent and immediately
- In my opinion, the best operating system with all major programs
- Tidy look
- Many opportunities through Airplay, Thunderbolt, Mini DisplayPort Fi, Bluetooth, etc.

Negative
- No upgrade possible
- Tied to configurations of Apple
- Easy acclimatization by thicker screen and Magic Mouse

Benchmark:
Mac OS: Geekbench (10850), NovaBench (Total: 1000 CPU: 509 GPU: 239); Black Magic (Write: Read 680MB / sec: 720MB / sec) and Boot Time (13sec)

Conclusion:

A wonderful PC on which my opinion no other rankommt. The perfect workmanship and the simple design with 4 top devices in a wafer thin shell can only be happy a technique friend. For this, the price / performance ratio is really great and therefore a strong buy recommendation. OSX and Windows running super (Which reminds me OSX is many times better and I use Windows for games) and all the major program are installed as full version.

An outstanding if not the best computer for me arises merely the Frage.Warum I have lived just as long without iMac ...
