Apple’s iMac is
all one Computer which is based on
Mac OS.
It is ruling the computer for a very long time because of its legendary
design, compact size, and performance. Apple's latest M1 chip is doing great
on their laptop devices and they are already decided to put on their iMac
series which is awesome, we have already seen the
M1 is way faster
than the intel chipset which they are using for a long time. We all know
that Apple products don’t come at a cheap price we have to pay a good amount
of rupees for it.
The iMac and iMac pro series are best for those who are on looking for the
device on which they can Edit Pictures, Video editing, and 3D modeling then
iMacs are just perfect. Also, the benefit side is, you can get access to
software exclusive to Apple, which is an added bonus who can do the maximum
utilization. And although the price of Apple iMac and iMac Pro in Nepal is
quite high as compared to the other countries which are obvious because
importing products cost money right and also you have to pay taxes, Yet most
of the professional users wants this machine because of the design and the
simplicity of it.
Why Apple’s Ecosystem Beats All Others?
First, there’s one thing that puts Apple above all its competitors. It’s
the fact that they control their hardware and software both, a feat that no
other tech brand has achieved. This gives them the freedom to tinker with
their products as much as they want and control different aspects of their
devices in a way that makes the inter-dependence of their gadgets much more
seamless. They decide what to add or remove from the hardware and how to
supplement that through the software to not just improve user experience in
the ecosystem, but also convince more users to immerse themselves into
it.
Instead of thinking of Apple’s ecosystem in terms of the number of people
or devices, a different approach is to consider the number of experiences
Apple is offering. This is where Apple’s true ambitions become visible. By
using an iPhone, a customer doesn’t just receive one experience per day.
Instead, nearly everything that is consumed on the device has the
potential of leading to a good (or bad) experience. This is why Apple’s
control of hardware, software, and services plays such a crucial role.
Apple’s ecosystem likely consists of tens, if not hundreds of billions, of
experiences in a single day.
1. Apple iMac (21.5-inch) Model
The Apple iMac 21.5-inch model is the cheapest model on the Mac series
which comes with a smaller display and lower performance for day-to-day
use. The 21.5-inch iMac is absolutely what you would expect from an
entry-level Apple desktop Mac.
Design Language
Since the last significant design upgrade in 2014, Apple has changed
almost nothing about the iMac's outward appearance till this date and
finally, apple already announced the new Design for the 21.5-inch model
which is much thinner and comes in 7 different colors. It has used the
same 21.5-inch screen, 4K resolution, P3 color gamut, and 500 nit
brightness through every incremental upgrade.
But the white bezels don't look that great though It is much smaller
than the previous models the white looks much outdated for me. We can
expect better design on the 27-inch model, let's see what Apple thinks
on that.
Processors
The 21.5-inch iMac with a 4K display comes with 8th generation Intel
Core i3 or i5 chipsets by default. Users can also configure it at the
time of purchase to include an i7.
For graphics, customers can select between the Radeon Pro 560X with 4GB
of GDDR5 memory, or go all out with a Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 4GB of
HBM2 memory. However, users needing more power who are willing to spend
that much will likely be better off with the 27-inch iMac or the iMac
Pro.
What You Can Upgrade?
Unlike its 5K counterpart, there is no rear door to access the RAM,
but the RAM is upgradeable if the machine is disassembled. The smaller
iMac has the same ports as the 27-inch iMac: two Thunderbolt 3 and
four USB-A, an SD card reader, a headphone jack, and a gigabit
Ethernet port.
If users need more graphics capabilities, Thunderbolt 3 allows
users to attach powerful external GPUs, such as those from Black
Magic. This means users can purchase a new external GPU instead of
replacing the entire iMac when requiring newer specs.
Users can also use the Thunderbolt 3 ports to attach external
monitors. The iMac 4K can drive a single 5K display or two 4K
displays. Apple had recently partnered with LG to produce official
monitors for Macs, like the LG 23.7-inch 4K UltraFine Display.
Top Features 💤
- 21.5-inch (diagonal) 1920-by-1080 resolution display
- Seventh-generation dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
- 8GB 2133MHz memory, configurable to 16GB
- Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
- Ultrafast SSD storage
- Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports
Is the 21.5-inch iMac good for gaming?
The more expensive configurations should handle gaming fairly well.
However, since macOS isn't nearly the gaming platform just like Windows,
you need to use Bootcamp to get the best gaming experience which is a
little hustle for some users.
Is the 21.5-inch iMac upgradeable?
No, the 21.5-inch iMac does not have user-installable RAM or other
components either.
What comes in the box of the 21.5-inch iMac?
Apple includes the following in the box:
- iMac
- Magic Mouse 2
- Magic Keyboard
- Power cord
- Lightning to USB Cable
Apple iMac 21.5-inch Price and Availability In Nepal
| Apple iMac 21-inch | Price in Nepal |
| 2.3GHz dual-core 7th gen Intel Core i5 processor | Rs. 1,75,500 |
| 3.6GHz quad-core 8th gen Intel Core i3 processor | Rs. 2,05,000 |

2. Apple iMac (27-inch) Model
Last year's new Apple iMac 2020 27-inch is the company’s latest
all-in-one PC and comes with some choice hardware upgrades that make
this one of the best devices creative professionals can buy right now.
So much so, in fact, it takes the top spot in our roundup of the best
computers for graphic design.
Keeping that iconic look that has made previous iMacs such a hit with
creatives, the iMac 27-inch 2020 now includes cutting edge components
from both Intel and AMD, as well as super-speedy solid-state drives
(SSDs) across the board and an increase in RAM, leading to performance
that blows the competition – especially Microsoft’s Surface Studio 2 –
out of the water.
In 2021, it looks like there might even be an update to the iMac in
store. Rumors have pointed to a potential reduction in those mighty
bezels, and a slimmer profile overall, plus the addition of the latest
and greatest M1 chip. If these rumors do come to fruition, then that
maybe good news for the 2020 iMac, which is bound to get a price
cut.
Back to the 2020 iMac, While it’s not quite the powerhouse workstation
that the iMac Pro is, nor does it have the newly released super-speedy
M1 chips that have launched with the latest MacBook Pro, MacBook Air,
and Mac Mini (yet), with the ability to order a configuration with a
10-core processor (a first for the standard iMac), and a new AMD Radeon
Pro 5700 XT with 16GB of GDDR6 memory (which is the model we’re testing
here), it’s not far off.
The Apple iMac 27-inch (2020), then, is a serious machine for creative
professionals who are looking for a compact yet powerful all-in-one –
with some great features that will appeal to people working from home as
well.
Bottom line
If you have an older iMac in a production environment, you’ll reap the
benefits if you invest in the new iMac. Don’t worry about Apple’s
commitment to supporting you in the next several years. They will. And
you can rest assured that your software will be able to get the most out
of the iMac CPU.
If you bought an iMac or even an iMac Pro within the past year, the new
iMac’s speed advantage is incremental. Consider waiting for the second
or even third generation of Apple silicon Macs. By then, there could be
native versions of the software you use for Apple silicon, ensuring that
you’ll get the most performance.
Like the last iteration of a memorable design, the new 27-inch iMac
leaves quite an impression. It has new features that users have been
waiting for and will be a very serviceable machine while Apple silicon
Macs are introduced, and the software evolves. The time is right for a
change, but it’s nice to see this iMac go out as a winner.

3. Apple iMac (27-inch) Model
The iMac Pro Is the bigger and better version of iMacs which is
specially designed for professional creators and It was announced in
2017 for the first time. The iMac Pro was right away aimed for heavy
users, especially video editors, as estate back then by Apple: “iMac
Pro is the fastest, most powerful Mac ever made, and delivers
incredible compute power for real-time 3D rendering, immersive VR,
intensive developer workflows, high megapixel photography, complex
simulations, massive audio projects, and real-time 4K and 8K video
editing.
Video editors can edit up to eight streams of 4K video, or edit 4.5K
RED RAW video and 8K ProRes 4444 at full resolution in real-time
without rendering”. Indeed, this beast machine was accepted and
utilized by pros for a variety of content creation applications
(editing, VFX, music production, color grading, and more).
M1 chipset - Powered iMac Pro
Looking at the situation for right now the only Macs that utilize
Apple Silicon M1 are the Macbook Pro which is a 13-inch model only,
Macbook Air, and the Mac mini. We are already got the announcement
from Apple itself with the new design changes on the upcoming iMac
21.5-inch model which is coming with the M1 chipset.
They're also a bunch of rumors that the iMac Pro will be redesign
with its own silicon. The new models will slim down the thick black
borders around the screen and do away with the sizable metal chin
area in favor of a design just like on the Apple’s Pro Display XDR
monitor and also coming with different colors also. According to
resources, the iMac redesign will be one of the biggest visual
updates to any Apple product this year. So there you have a complete
redesigned iMac and iMac Pro with an M1 chipset.
Is iMac Pro discontinued?
Apple has already confirmed that the iMac Pro is discontinued. You still can purchase the basic model on the Oilzstore if you want to, however, you no longer have the option to change the spec of the machine, so it’s the 3.0GHz, 10-core Xeon W model with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and Radeon Pro Vega 56 with 8GB HBM2 memory or nothing. Because we all know Apple is working on the M1 chipset model so we just have to wait to see the new model of the iMac pro which might come with the new Design as we already saw on the 21.5-inch iMac models.Apple iMac Pro Price and Availability In Nepal
