Review: New Apple iMac brings stunning 4K Retina screen to lower-cost model. Apple has added another Retina iMac to its lineup â this time a lower-cost model, at least by Apple pricing standards. Letâs get the bad news out of the way first. This is Apple so nothing is cheap. The new 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display is $1,499. While that price is out of the reach of many consumers, it is $300 cheaper than the base 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display, which starts at $1,799. That latter has been the only Retina iMac available to date.
Apple's iMac (Late 2012) desktops also come available with Fusion Drive. It's $250 extra on the Mac mini, so that's a significant feature that can push the price of the system from $799 to $1,049 in a heartbeat. So, what makes it so special, and why should you check that box when you order a Mac desktop? We break it down in five easy pieces. What the Fusion Drive is. The Fusion Drive is a combination of Flash Storage and a regular hard drive. Flash storage, the same sort of non-volatile memory chips that you'll find in solid-state drives (SSDs), are rugged and much faster than traditional spinning hard drives.
