Apple iMac Mid 2017 21.5" 4K 3.4GHz i5 8GB 1TB Fusion Radeon Pro 560

Mid 2017 21.5-inch Retina 4K iMac

This all-in-one desktop ships with a 3.4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5-7500 processor, 8 GB of 2400 MHz LPDDR3 memory and a 1 TB Fusion Drive. The 21.5-inch 4096 x 2304 LED-backlit display covers DCI-P3 colour and runs pixel-doubled to 2048 x 1152. Radeon Pro 560 graphics with 4 GB VRAM handle visual work. It arrives with macOS 10.12 Sierra installed.

Wired keyboard, mouse and Thunderbolt 3 ports

A USB keyboard and optical mouse are included in the box so the system is ready to use immediately. Four USB 3.0 ports and two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports support high-speed peripherals and external displays. An SDXC card slot simplifies media import. Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n Wi-Fi provide wired and wireless network options.

Suited to home-office and student workflows

The integrated Retina 4K screen and compact aluminium chassis fit small desks while delivering sharp text and accurate colour for documents, web browsing and light creative tasks. Buyers who need user-upgradable memory or storage should look elsewhere because the RAM is soldered and the Fusion Drive is not designed for owner service. Gamers or professionals requiring higher GPU performance will find the Radeon Pro 560 limiting.
