iMac Repair cardiff

From its release in 1998, the Apple iMac caused shockwaves in the tech world and it continues to do so today with its new 2020 release.

The iMac has gone through seven, distinct different designs. You may remember its first form, which was the colourful dome shaped computer, which would have fitted in with our 90’s décor perfectly and was revolutionary at at time when most other computers were that horrible beige colour. Now you will know the iMac for its distinct, sleek shape. Many tout the iMac as being one of the most formidable contenders in the all-in-one computer market.

What you may not know is that it is credited by some as killing of the floppy disk as it was the first Macintosh computer to feature a USB port. The alluring frame of the iMac we know today packs a lot of punch in terms of specs, firstly you don’t need a bulky tower and monitor set-up that when you compare it to the iMac seems archaic. The whole design concept of the iMac is to keep things simple, clean, rational and consistent, therefore maximising any users experience regardless of what they are using it for.

Unfortunately, nothing in the world of electronics works perfectly forever, no matter how good it is, and iMacs are considered to be beyond good. To be honest, they are rare but they do happen and when they do you need a trusted, certified Apple specialist.
