Macworld's 21.5-inch iMac/3.06GHz (Nvidia graphics) Coverage

21.5- and 27-inch iMacs (Late 2009) The Late 2009 iMacs are really about the new displays—and the displays are impressive.
21.5-inch iMac Core 2 Duo/3.06GHz (Nvidia graphics) The physical changes to the iMac line -- a 21.5-inch screen with a 16.9 aspect ratio that makes the desktop more suited to widescreen HD video -- are the most dramatic since the introduction of the aluminum iMac. Inside, you'll find a 3.06GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and -- on this model -- Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics that share RAM with the system memory.
