About This Mac

The Mid 2011 27-inch iMac brought quad-core Intel processors and Thunderbolt to Apple’s large all-in-one. Its 2560-by-1440 display provided a broad workspace, while dedicated Radeon graphics and two Thunderbolt ports supported creative tasks and external equipment. The deeper aluminium enclosure still included an optical drive, and memory could be reached through the lower access panel. Compared with the 21.5-inch Mid 2011 iMac, the larger model offered more screen area and a second Thunderbolt connection, at the cost of considerably more desk space and weight.
