Apple Mac Core 2 Duo iMac flatpanel 2.16gHz 20 inch

Core 2 Duo iMacs apple imac core duo 1.83gHz 17 inch

The iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.16 20-Inch features a 2.16 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (T7400), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 4 MB shared level 2 cache, a 667 MHz system bus, 1 GB of RAM (667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, PC2-5300), a 250 GB (7200 RPM) Serial ATA hard drive, a vertically-mounted slot-loading DVD+R DL "SuperDrive", ATI Radeon X1600 graphics acceleration on a PCI-Express bus with 128 MB of GDDR3 memory, a built-in iSight video camera, and built-in stereo speakers underneath the 20" TFT Active Matrix LCD (1680x1050 native) display designed to "bounce sound off the desk below".

Connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports, two Firewire "400" ports, built-in AirPort Extreme, and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as mini-DVI, which supports an external display in "extended desktop" mode (rather than just "mirrored mode").

In general, there was very little difference between the 2GHz and 2.16GHz models in terms of hands-on feel – both were snappy and responsive at most tasks. The £679 iMac, however, definitely suffers from its slower processor and smaller amount of RAM: launching applications took a little longer and applying transitions in iMovie is slow, for example. And the greater screen brightness of the 20-inch model is noticeable, but doesn't make a huge difference.
