What is iMac?

The iMac is a low-cost version of Apple Computer's Macintosh. It was designed to attract people who have never owned a personal computer as well as win back former Mac users who have moved to personal computer. It allows users to play blu-ray files, blu-ray discs on it so as to experience the most wonderful blu-ray home cinema effects. Released in mid-August, 1998, the initial version of the iMac featured a sleekly-molded designer-colored translucent case with a built-in 15-inch display, a fast 233 MHz processor, and the Mac OS operating system.
