Apple announces new iMac with 5K display


Starting out at about $2500, the new iMac with Retina 5K Display is an compelling announcement. The high 5K resolution, which is available only in 27-inch iMac form, allows for native 4K video editing in Final Cut Pro with the timeline and tools on screen.

The new iMac configuration tops out at 4 GHz quad i7 with a AMD Radeon R9 M295x GPU.

Missing, unfortunately, is an updated 5K Thunderbolt Display. Maybe in the near future.

I like my Hackintosh as a desktop and the new iMac hardware doesn't really move the needle for me. The 5K display, however, is tempting.
