All-in-One iMac 21.5

This Apple iMac 21.5" is an all-in-one desktop computer with the display and components integrated into a single aluminium enclosure. It ships with macOS 10.11 pre-installed and includes a USB keyboard and mouse. The system is aimed at home or office users who want a compact, ready-to-use Mac without separate parts.

Build integration and expandability

The unit requires only an available power outlet and connects to wired networks through a Gigabit Ethernet port or wirelessly via 802.11ac. Four USB 3.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports provide high-speed peripheral connections, while an SD card reader handles media imports. The 1 TB 5400 RPM SATA drive and 8 GB DDR3 memory are internal, so internal upgrades are limited.

Ideal for basic macOS workflows.

This iMac suits buyers who need a tidy macOS desktop for everyday productivity, web browsing and media playback. It is not for users who want user-replaceable storage, discrete graphics or the ability to add internal expansion cards. Buyers needing a larger display or newer macOS versions should consider other options.

Questions about this item

Will the 5400RPM SATA drive become a bottleneck under sustained workloads?

The 1TB 5400RPM SATA drive is the slowest component; sustained writes will hit its mechanical throughput limit well before the Core i5-5250U or 8GB DDR3 memory saturate.

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

The slim aluminium chassis uses a single internal fan; under continuous load the CPU can reach its 2.7GHz turbo, raising chassis temperature and fan noise noticeably above idle.

What must I already own to start using this iMac?

Only a standard 100-240V power outlet is required; the box includes the iMac, USB keyboard, mouse and power cord, so no extra peripherals or cables are needed.
