Here's the New Apple Imac 21.5"/27" May 2011 Review for consideration before purchasing decision. Imac is well known for its excellent overall performance, easy to setup, great flexibility and an appealing looks. General buying advice for iMac is that for most average people the entry level 21.5" 2.5Ghz is enough. While the higher models are more suitable for people who dealing a lot with video rendering and graphics design. The new iMacs have support for Serial ATA-3 (SATA-3) drives capable of 6GBps speed, but the drives Apple installs and the BTO storage options conform to the SATA-2 specification and are capable of 3GBps speed. Thunderbolt offers data transfer speeds up of 10Gbit per second, which is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and 20 times faster than USB 2.0. The 21.5-inch iMacs have one Thunderbolt port, while the 27-inch iMacs have two.

Apple iMac MC309LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop

First of all, even with less RAM, the Mac was faster and performed much better than a tech spec superior PC. It ran several memory draining and intensive applications, like video editing software, iTunes, and web browsers playing video SIMULTANEOUSLY without any noticeable lag.

If you were thinking about jumping over to the Mac do so. As a first-time mac owner, I can safely say that it was the best think that I have ever done. Everything just works so well with this. Everything is snappy and the boot up takes about 30 seconds(YES, I timed it).

The computer is built to last and it's very elegant. You have a full-running computer in less than 10 minutes since you take it out of the box. Only one cable is needed, the rest is wireless (mouse, keyboard, wifi) it also has bluetooth built-in.
