As expected, alongside the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 2, Apple has also launched a brand new 5K 27 inch iMac. The iMac is a pretty solid device by the looks of things so far. It comes with 5210 x 2880 pixels and a display which Apple claims is unprecedented on any other desktop before it.
With 14.7 million pixels, the Retina iMac has 7 times more pixels than a HD TV and 67% more pixels than a 4K display. To top it all off, the display is a mere 5mm thin on the edge. With the iPad Air 2 and now the iMac, Apple seems to have called dibs on making remarkably thin devices in the industry.
With it's 5K resolution, the 27 inch Retina iMac will give all the top displays out there a good run for their money. Apart from introducing a startlingly high resolution for the device, Apple has also made the iMac more energy efficient. A feature being dubbed as Organic Passivation will reduce pixel cross talk on the iMac's display and make the display use 30% less energy. This will also be made possible courtesy of a new low power backlight and Oxide TF.
