About this iMac

The Apple iMac released in Early 2009 was a 24-inch version powered by a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. It had a built-in iSight video camera and a vertically-mounted slot-loading DL Super Drive. The FireWire ports were reduced from two to one single slot and there was an additional USB port. The design of the body was made to ensure there was seamless glass to the aluminum enclosure. This machine was a statement both on the exterior and interior.
