Happily, the newest iMacs still retain most of what made past models appealing-the graphics processors won't set any speed records, but they compare favorably to those in competing all-in-ones. The end result is a computer that is substantially lighter and thinner than it was before. The edges of the computer are just 5 mm wide, a significant reduction from the desktops the company has been selling for the last few years. The 2012 iMac's most visible innovation is, of course, its physical design-this is the first substantial change to the iMac's body since the aluminum unibody iMacs were introduced in late 2009. No one knows for certain whether the device's delays were due to rumored manufacturing issues or merely the decreasing importance of desktop computers to Apple's bottom line, but at least the refreshed computers are finally here. But the Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs the 21.5-inch model uses were both available months ago, and these desktops haven't made the jump to a pixel-quadrupled "Retina" display. Some 19 months have passed between the early May introduction of the 2011 iMac and the late November shipping dates for this year's models.
