I had the opportunity to try one of them, namely 27-inch iMac. Is large enough. Even needed a cart, to lug it to the newsroom.Upon opening the box 27-inch iMac is the first time, I felt a little strange. Why is not there a lot of wires here? Is there less?
It seems not. IMac because the box is only a wireless keyboard and the mouse magic mouse magic. Yes, that's all. Simple is not it? The only cable that there is only power cable.
Compared with the first product in 1998, the new iMac looks very simple with no wires sticking everywhere. Of course, since the device was that only two: the keyboard and mouse.
Compared with previous series, this new iMac keyboard was simple, light and not ribet. Although small, this keyboard the size of full-size, without the numeric keypad on the right side of the widened. Apple claims the size of the keyboard itself is 24 percent smaller than previous versions.

The latest evolution of the Apple mouse is very unique. These devices have the ability to multi-touch screen ala iPhone or trackpad on the Macbook. Not surprisingly, these mice were named Magic Mouse.
Magic Mouse Mighty Mouse is the successor, this device can be connected to a Mac via Bluetooth devices.
Magic Mouse does not have any buttons on the surface, let alone a common scroll wheel found on the mouse to the PC. For navigation the user can move his fingers on the surface of the mouse.
We ourselves have difficulty when first using it. Why not run the mouse magic new feature? Though the new iMac have been using OS X Snow Leopard. Apparently the problem only update it.
According to the Apple site, to be able to use it, the system is used at least Mac OS X v10.5.8 Wireless Mouse with software update 1.0. So despite having the latest OS X updates, if not update the mouse will be useless.
Devices are also sold separately for U.S. $ 69, have a smart chip in it. Thus, this device will not distinguish between a touch confused, the movement for scrolling, sweeping motion with two fingers even if the user just put a finger to rest.

With a resolution of 2560x1440 - still lost by 30-inch Cinema Display - This new iMac is quite comfortable when used for browsing, working or watching HD-quality movies.
