Apple’s ‘i’ prefix, which stands for individual, internet, inspire, or inform, is what sets its products apart from others of its kind. First introduced in 1998, the iMac has evolved and become the most popular device of the day. The modern iMac has a 21.5 or 27-inch display. The latest 27” 5K Retina Model has a slim body with an Intel Hasweel Quad Core processor. The Quad Core i7 is available as an upgrade for the 21.5 and 27-inch models. For everyday creativity, the i5 is more than sufficient but if you need data transforming and encoding capabilities then you may consider leasing the i7 for a trial.
