Finally, the speakers are still hidden under the lower bezel, and they're still loud. The ports are the same except the two Thunderbolt sockets have been replaced with Thunderbolt 2 connections, which have the same shape and labeling. To that end, the iMac still puffs out in the back to accommodate all the circuitry inside. The bezels still measure 5mm thick, and are still pretty to look at from the side, although they don't have any bearing on the overall footprint. Same metal stand with a pass-through for the power cable. What if someone walked by, uploaded a spy shot to Twitter and blew my cover? What if someone at our sister site TechCrunch saw? The truth is, it was the new keyboard and trackpad that I had to hide the Mac itself has the same design as ever. I felt a little nervous at first, using this unannounced computer out in the open at my office desk. Just be sure to upgrade the hard drive before you place your order. Between the crisper screen, compact footprint and a lower price than the 27-inch models, it has the potential to hit the sweet spot for a lot of people. I've been spending a few days with the new iMac, and chose to review the 4K 21.5-inch edition in particular since this is the first "small" iMac with a Retina display.
Possibly more important than the iMac itself, though, are the input devices: Apple redesigned the wireless keyboard, mouse and trackpad, adding rechargeable batteries and, in the case of the touchpad, pressure-sensitive Force Touch gestures. Across the board, too, these new 4K and 5K displays have a wider color gamut, although the difference is fairly subtle. Going forward, all the 27-inch models have a 5K screen - not just the flagship we reviewed last year - while the 21.5-inch version now has an optional 4K panel. Apple started selling a new line of iMacs today, and yes, while they have fresh processors and graphics cards inside, that's really the least of it.
