We can see the unfair fight between the two models in Cinebench R15, where the old processor is around 50% faster in the multi-core test. Our previous review unit was equipped with the Intel Core i7-4790K from the Haswell generation, which was the most powerful CPU back then.
The number of cores and threads is four (no Hyperthreading) and Intel specifies the TDP with 65 watts.Īpple also offers the system with an Intel Core i5-6600 and an Intel Core i7-6700K, which means that our review unit is using the least powerful chip. The processor runs at 3.2 GHz and has a maximum Turbo Boost of 3.6 GHz. Apple now uses the latest Skylake architecture from Intel and has equipped our review unit with an Intel Core i5-6500.
Now we have a look at one of the two significant changes.
IMAC 27 LATE 2013 3.2 DRIVER
This is a driver problem, so Windows users should have a USB mouse. The mouse was not recognized during the installation via Bootcamp and it did not work after waking from standby.
IMAC 27 LATE 2013 3.2 MAC OS
The gesture control works perfectly under Mac OS X, but Windows sometimes had issues even with simple scrolling. You will have to turn the mouse upside down and then attach the Lightning cable. The charging process on the other hand is not very impressive. Apple has finally included a rechargeable battery, which does reduce the weight at the same time. Not that much has changed in terms of the Magic Mouse 2. The chassis is, similar to the iMac, very sophisticated and made of aluminum and plastic (bottom). If you want these features, you can choose a fully wired (old) Apple Keyboard in the configuration process. The new model does not have background illumination or a number pad. All keys have an even resistance and are not wobbly towards the corners. After a little while, however, we were able to use it just as quickly and comfortably as the old model. The keys now use the scissor mechanism, which was introduced with the Apple MacBook 12, and you will have to get used to them. It is now 13% smaller and the keys are flatter. Probably the most anticipated feature is the rechargeable battery, which can be charged via the Lightning port. This option is priced at 180 Euros (~$196).Īpple has replaced the Apple Wireless Keyboard, launched in 2007, with the Magic Keyboard.
IMAC 27 LATE 2013 3.2 SOFTWARE
This additional warranty includes an enhanced technical support, hardware protection as well as software support. WarrantyĪs it is usual for Apple you only get a one-year manufacturer's warranty, but it is possible to purchase an optional AppleCare Protection Plan for up to three years. Our colleagues from ifixit demonstrate the complicated process. You will have to remove the glued display to reach the other components, but professionals should perform this procedure. Only the memory can be accessed easily via the hatch at the back. Once again, the maintainability of the new model is limited.
With the exception of a few brochures, there are no other noteworthy accessories. You can also get the Magic Trackpad 2 instead of the Magic Mouse 2, but this will cost an additional 60 Euros (~$65). You also get a Lightning cable to recharge the input devices at a USB port. As with the previous generation, the Apple iMac is shipped with a keyboard and a mouse – now updated to new versions.
