All-in-One desktop for everyday macOS tasks

This 21.5-inch iMac integrates the display and components into a single silver chassis. It ships with macOS 10.12 Sierra, an Intel Core i5 processor running at 1.6 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB hard drive spinning at 7200 rpm. The non-touch IPS panel delivers 1920x1080 resolution.

Bundled input devices and connectivity

A USB keyboard and optical mouse are included so the system is ready to use immediately. Four USB 3 ports, two Thunderbolt ports and a Mini DisplayPort output handle peripherals and external displays. An SDXC card slot and FaceTime HD camera support media import and video calls. Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.0 provide wired and wireless networking.

Compatibility checks before ordering

The memory ceiling is 16 GB, so buyers planning heavier workloads should verify that limit meets their needs. Storage relies on a mechanical hard drive rather than an SSD, which affects boot and application launch speeds. Graphics use integrated Intel HD Graphics 6000, so the machine is not suited to demanding 3D or video rendering. Wireless uses 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0, not newer Wi-Fi or Bluetooth standards.

Questions about this item

How do I upgrade the 8 GB DDR4 memory if I need more capacity later?

The iMac supports up to 16 GB of DDR4, so you can add another 8 GB module to reach the maximum.

Will the 1 TB 7200 rpm hard drive become the bottleneck during long editing sessions?

Yes, the mechanical 7200 rpm drive is the slowest component and will limit sustained read and write speeds.

How loud and hot does the all-in-one get when it runs all day?

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 6000 and 1.6 GHz Core i5 produce modest heat; the single internal fan stays quiet under typical workloads.
