iMac – ME699LL/A – iMac13,1 – A1418
About this iMac
The Apple a1418 iMac Intel Aluminum released in March 2013 was another step in creativity in the world of computers. A number of more conventional features of a computer were absent – such a DVD drive slots and the FireWire ports that were traditional with the Apple iMac brand and new features appeared – such as the Thunderbolt port which allows for the passage of both visual and audio signal. The basic components of a computer such as the RAM were upgraded as this model had a 4 GB of 1600 MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM which could be upgraded on purchase to a 16 GB RAM but not recommended for an upgrade after even though it is a possibility. There are 4 USB 3.0 ports. It also had a powerful graphics processor included with its HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR5 memory with a built-in FaceTime HD camera. This computer still stands tall among competitors and will continue to stand tall for a long while regardless of the amount of development that happens in the computer world.
