The Retina iMac is undoubtedly the most exciting and shocking event in Apple's fall new product launch. The Retina display screen used by this super era iMac is quite amazing in terms of resolution and technical strength behind it. The long standing Mac Mini has finally gained a new life. For many people, this is a more practical update.

The Retina iMac is not directly different from the previous 27 inch iMac in terms of shape design. It is still the metal material and silver color of Apple. The all-in-one metal body is Apple's consistent simple and elegant design. Although there is no change in the shape design of the iMac, it is still attractive enough so far.

In terms of interfaces, Retina iMac designs all interfaces on the back of the body, including headphone jack, SDXC card slot, two Thunderbolt 2 ports and various video outputs. In addition, Retina iMac still needs only one power cord to connect all wires, which is also the romantic feature of iMac.

If the biggest highlight of the Retina iMac is its 27 inch Retina screen with 5K resolution. In order to create this unprecedented Retina 5K display with amazing parameters, Apple has customized all the components of the display so that its display panel is only 1.4mm thin, which also makes the iMac only 5mm thin, which is amazing.

On the Retina iMac, Apple uses a new timing controller, which is designed to process and manage such huge pixels faster. The new timing controller has a bandwidth of 40Gbps, which is four times higher than that of the previous generation. Its processing speed is faster and more powerful. Even the Retina 5K display screen is still smooth and impressive.

In addition, it also uses oxide TFT, which is designed to make the pixels on the screen more accurate and achieve more continuous and uniform brightness performance, and also improve the energy efficiency. In any case, the Retina 5K display is moving towards better display effect and lower energy consumption. In addition, the addition of optical orientation technology, the use of optical compensation film and spectrometer color tuning, whether you are a straight display, multi person sharing screen or image processing, the Retina 5K display screen should give you the best and best display effect.

At the press conference, the most surprising and deserved thing was undoubtedly that Mac Mini was finally updated. This is the most energy-efficient desktop computer in the world. Apple has promoted its own "cheap" OS X operating system. After two years of forgetting, it has finally been updated. Although the Mac Mini is still a metal lunch box in terms of appearance design, the internal hardware improvement is undoubtedly the greatest comfort, and of course, today's newly launched OS X Yosemite system is a blessing.

The new Mac Mini is still made of a whole piece of aluminum alloy metal, with exquisite CNC and hard sandblasting anode, seamless Unibody body, and exquisite texture and performance. Although there is no change in shape design, it is still enough to make people love it. The new Mac Mini still continues the design of the built-in power supply. You don't have to bear the large transformer. You only need one power cord to meet all uses.

In addition, there is a new Thunderbolt 2 interface, which can provide faster reading speed; Support 802.11ac Wi Fi. Faster connection speed makes the Internet more enjoyable. Of course, it is necessary to have more powerful hardware options. The Haswell processor from Intel allows you to enjoy better processing speed.

It shows that the starting price of Retina iMac is 2499 US dollars, about 15300 yuan, while the selling price of mainland Chinese products is 17999 yuan. From the price point of view, most desktops on the market are much more expensive than others. However, with Retina 5K display screen and the ultimate screen manufacturing process, for image processing engineers or photographers who have such needs, the price is actually cheap, which makes them feel like buying displays and giving away computing power.

The Mac Mini, which was finally updated after two years, has not changed in appearance design, but its metal Unibody design has shown enough attraction and industrial design, which is also the reason why the Mac Mini is still popular at present. Of course, the low price is also a major reason. After updating the new hardware platform, faster connection speed and faster storage speed, the new Mac Mini still has unique charm. Of course, the next goodbye will be two years later.
