Compact all-in-one desktop for everyday productivity

The 21.5" iMac combines a Full HD IPS display with a 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of onboard LPDDR3 memory and a 256GB SSD in a single slim enclosure. It ships with macOS, a keyboard and a mouse, making it ready for office tasks, web browsing and media playback straight out of the box.

Replaces a separate tower and monitor setup

The integrated design removes the need for a separate chassis, display cables and power bricks, saving desk space and reducing clutter. The jump is worthwhile when you want a tidy, silent workstation with a calibrated 178° viewing-angle screen and do not require user-upgradable memory or discrete graphics performance.

Limited by Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 bandwidth

External storage and docks top out at the speeds of those two interfaces, so high-throughput RAID arrays or 4K60 external displays cannot reach their full potential. The soldered LPDDR3 memory cannot be expanded beyond the factory 8GB, and the integrated Intel HD Graphics 6000 shares system memory, restricting 3D and video workloads.

Questions about this item

What desk space and mounting clearance does the 21.5-inch all-in-one require?

The unit measures 5 mm at its thinnest edge and occupies 40% less volume than the 2011 iMac, so it fits on a standard desk with minimal depth.

How is the onboard memory installed, and what mistake do buyers make?

The 8GB of 1867 MHz LPDDR3 RAM is soldered to the logic board; the common error is purchasing DDR3 SO-DIMMs that cannot be fitted.

Which components may need replacement during the system's life?

The 256GB SSD and the internal battery are the only user-serviceable parts; the display, processor and graphics are integrated and not replaceable.
