The Apple iMac released in Late 2009 was a 21.5-inch version powered by a 3.33 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.
