The new iMac of 5K Retina Display  goes for a start at US$2,499 and is available now.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new 5K display, which can show 14.7 million pixels, is “an incredible feat of engineering,” said Phil Schiller, Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing, at a Thursday event on the company’s Cupertino, California, campus.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, Apple customers mostly Mac Pro users, have asked the company to release a 4K monitor, but instead Apple made available Sharp 4K monitors on its website. There are many 4K TVs available that can display images at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is four times that of conventional HD. But Apple’s upgrade to 5K could get hardware makers thinking about resolutions beyond 4K.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new 5K iMac puts Apple a step ahead of other PC makers like Toshiba and Lenovo </span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have just rolled out 4K laptops, with other vendors also releasing 4K displays. Lenovo promised a 4K Android all-in-one with the ThinkVision 28, but the computer has not yet shipped.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new iMac is 5 millimeters thick and has highly power-efficient LEDs, Schiller said.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new device has spectro-radiometer sensors to deliver sharper quality images. Faster bandwidth inside the monitor allows for more pixels on the screen without affecting brightness. A separate “compensation film” improves the viewing angle and delivers more vivid colors, Schiller said.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K Display is also powered with Intel’s Core i7 processor, 8GB of Ram, 1TB of storage capacity and R9M290X graphics card, which also be upgraded to the faster R9M295X GPU.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apple hinted that the starting price of its Mac Mini starts at $499 from $599. The Mac Mini has received minor hardware upgrades with Intel’s fourth-generation Core processor, improved graphics, two Thunderbolt 2 ports and 802.11ac Wi-Fi.</span></div>
