Apple Launches New Affordable 21.5-inch IMac At $1,099

(RTTNews) - US technology giant Apple, Inc. (AAPL) on Wednesday introduced a new ultra-thin 21.5-inch iMac at an affordable price tag that is now the lowest-priced iMac model to date. The entry-level model comes $200 cheaper, but with a considerably slower processor, half the hard disk capacity and a more entry-level graphics card compared to the earlier entry-level model.

The company said the new model is now available through the Apple Online Store, Apple's retail stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

"Featuring a stunning ultra-thin design, brilliant display, Core i5 processors and the world's most advanced operating system, the new iMac is the perfect entry-level Mac desktop," Apple said in a statement.

The new scaled down entry level iMac features a 1.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost Speeds up to 2.7 GHz, Intel HD 5000 graphics, 8GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive, all of this at an affordable price tag of $1,099. The company noted that customers can configure their iMac with a 1TB hard drive, a 1TB Fusion Drive, and up to 256GB flash storage.

The company had earlier launched the entry-level 21.5-inch iMac with a 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor for a suggested retail price of $1,299 in September 2013.

Meanwhile, Apple continues to sell its 21.5-inch iMac with a 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.2 GHz and Intel Iris Pro for a suggested retail price of $1,299 ; and with a 2.9 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M for a suggested retail price of $1,499.

The Cupertino, California-based tech giant said every new all-in-one iMac desktop comes with the next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3.0 ports. When connected to an 802.11ac base station, iMac delivers wireless performance that is up to three times faster than the previous generation.

The company added that iMac now ships with OS X operating system, bringing messages, notification center, system-wide sharing, AirPlay mirroring, dictation, game venter and the enhanced security of Gatekeeper to Mac. Apple's iLife and iWork suites of software come free with every new Mac.

Apple stated that the final version of OS X Yosemite that was launched earlier in the month will be available for free from the Mac App Store this fall.

Apple also sell a 27-inch iMac with a 3.2 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 755M for a suggested retail price of $1,799; and with a 3.4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.8 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M for a suggested retail price of $1,999.

In Wednesday's regular trading session, AAPL is currently trading at $91.79, down $0.29 or 0.32% on a volume of 8.94 million shares.
