Plus, in the back where the guts are, it's thicker. Of course, like everyone else, I read the stories about how a thin edge isn't really important because we view straight on. It makes the old, thick 2010 iMac look dated. While the edges of the 2010 iMac were large and boxy, this smaller iMac, with its thin edges, just feels sexier. The first thing I noticed was that this Mac has a very clean and tight design. By and large, the display is a little less real estate than I'm used to, but everything I do there: Firefox, YoruFukurou (Twitter), ImageWell and PathFinder all still fit. But I only expect to be using this iMac for a short period and then move on to the late 2013 Mac Pro. I was, at first, concerned that the smaller display of 21.5 inches at 1920 x 1080 might be a little cramped compared to my older 27-inch iMac (2560 by 1440), and it is. I opted for the Core i7, as always, with discrete graphics, 16 GB of RAM, and (for me) the essential 256 GB SSD. In my case, an aging 2010 27-inch iMac and a hardware failure led me to an earlier than planned decision to move to a 21.5-inch late 2013 model iMac. If this Mac has been on your shopping list, read the review. The best review I have seen of this iMac is by Anand Lal Shimpi: " 21.5-inch iMac (Late 2013) Review: Iris Pro Driving an Accurate Display." It's simply an awesome review, as are all those by AnandTech. Here are my observations.įirst, this is not a review. ![]() I just received one, and I was very impressed. Apple's "late 2013" 21.5-inch Haswell powered iMac is compact, fast and runs very, very cool.
