Apple's Redesigned iMacs Are Now Available

You've waited long enough, and as promised Apple's new redesigned iMacs are now available for purchase after their first debut in October alongside the iPad mini and a bevy of refreshed Apple products. You get grab the incredibly thin edged, powerful new iMacs in either a 21-inch model starting at $1,299 with a 2.7GHZ quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M with 512MB of memory; or the 27-inch model starting at $1,799 which packs a 2.9GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M with 512MB. Apple's new Fusion Drive option will set you back an additional $250 for 1TB of storage, but it's only available to the $1,499 21-inch iMac and all the 27-inch models. 1TB of 5400RPM hard drive storage comes as standard on all models.

The Fusion Drive option features a combination of 128GB of solid stage storage and a 1TB mechanical 5400RPM hard drive for optimal SSD-like performance with the massive storage capacity of a regular hard drive. In this case a 1TB hard drive, or up to a 3TB premium.
