2011-05-03
hey guys John linear with TLD is 6:00 in the morning California time I haven't slept much but it's officially new Sandy Bridge IMAX are here like I mentioned last week we did see the inclusion of the new Thunderbolt ports as well as the eyesight HD cameras which will record at 720p now as far as the sizes go I know there are a few rumors that there might be there were birth possibly of a 24 inch or maybe even a 30 inch iMac that did not happen so we got the same 21 and a half inch model with a screen resolution of 1920 by 1080 and then of course a 27-inch model with the same resolution of 2560 by 1440 now we can actually say goodbye to the core i3 model so there's no more dual course completely quad core across the whole line of IMAX so 21 and a half inch all the way up to the 27-inch features quad core core i5s now as far as the exact specifications go the baseline 21 and a half inch models gonna start out with a 2.5 gigahertz quad core i5 6 Meg's of cash and an AMD Radeon 6750 mobile card so it's actually a mobile card they've gone that way on the whole line with the IMAX not too sure exactly how I feel about that well to see how that works out performance wise now you can step up to a 2.7 inch quad core i5 and you can also upgrade to the highest model on the 21 and a half inch and a 2.8 gigahertz quad core i7 and the highest graphics card option is gonna be a 67 70 mobile card on the 21 and a half inch iMac jumping up to the monstrosity the big 27-inch iMac that's gonna start out with a 2.7 gigahertz quad core i5 6 Meg's of cache a 1 terabyte hard drive and an AMD Radeon 6770 mobile video card 512 Meg's of video memory now you can jump up to a 3.1 quad core i5 which is gonna be blazing fast that's also gonna feature a one terabyte hard drive and a 69 70 video card now it is a mobile car but it's one of the highest and video cards you can get so hopefully the quality and the performance won't degrade too much because it is a mobile video card again I'll have to wait and see how that works out now you can actually upgrade to the highest highest highest highest and i7 model on the 27 inch that's gonna be a 3.4 gigahertz quad core i7 and actually something cool is you can actually configure the 67 90 with either 1 gigabyte or 2 gigabytes for $100 more couple quick things I noticed is you can actually pick the Magic Trackpad as the standard option instead of the magic mouths just kind of cool if you're into that other than that a little bit of a bummer if you're looking to get an SSD on the new iMacs it's a little bit pricey but you're actually gonna have to wait about four to six weeks so overall definitely impressed with the new IMAX lineup again there's been no changes as far as the external design as far as size or resolution but we do see the addition of much faster CPUs graphics cards thunderbolt and a new HD eyesight video camera so thank you guys for watching hopefully you guys enjoyed this video I will be picking up one of the new i7 27-inch models so stay tuned for coverage on that if you guys are curious you want a little sneak peek kind of taste of what the new eyesight HD cameras look like I recorded actually one was a MacBook Pro a couple months ago it's gonna be the same quality so I'm gonna check that out right here if you're not sure what thunderbolt port is I found a very cool video from Intel kind of explaining and showing it off that will be down below in the description other than that again thank you guys for watching feel free to subscribe and I'll catch you guys later you
