About this iMac
The iMac Aluminum Core i5 27-inch was introduced on May 19, 2015. It features a widescreen 27-inch Retina 5K display integrated with IPS technology. The MF885LL/A iMac incorporates a 1080p FaceTime HD webcam at the top of the display.
This iMac model looks similar to the late 2014 model of iMac but with a slower processor. Unlike the earlier model, this device lacks Fusion Drive that can access data much faster than a hard drive. The uniqueness of this remarkable model lies in its wide range of connectivity options, including four USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, headphone jack, Gigabit Ethernet connection, Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connection, and backward compatible 802.11ac Wi-Fi connection.
The processor of this iMac is a Core i5 “Haswell” Quad-Core processor that can reach up to 3.3 GHz clock speed with a 6 MB shared L3 cache. This model uses an Aluminum case for its rear body that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges (5mm), giving it the shape of a lens. This iMac comes with Apple’s Aluminum wireless rechargeable keyboard. It is also shipped with an option to choose from a “Magic Mouse,” a “Magic Trackpad,” or simple Apple’s wired mouse. It has incredible stereo speakers that provide deep bass with no distortion at loud volumes.
