What, you thought Apple would neglect the poor iMac with today's refresh? The company updated its perennial favorite all-in-one desktop today, with 21.5-inch and 27-inch 16:9 backlit displays (1,920 x 1,080 and 2,560 x 1,440 resolutions, respectively), with 178-degree viewing angles. The systems ship with the Apple wireless keyboard and the brand new Magic Mouse.
The models also feature an i-Sight camera, four USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire 800 port, 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1, a bu8ilt-in SD card slot, and Gigabit Ethernet.
The 21.5-inch 3.06 GHz model runs $1,199 for 500GB of storage. You can bump that up to 1TB and ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics for $1,499. The 27-incher starts at $1,699 with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. At $1,999, you get a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core processor/ The price bump also upgrades the ATI Radeon HD 4670 discrete graphics to ATI Radeon HD 4850.
The new iMacs are available today.

These are really really nice. It doesn't hurt that Apple's gone ahead and crammed an i5 in there, too, while they bump up the screen size. Between that and front row, is there any reason for me to buy a TV for the bedroom when I can just use the Apple remote from bed to watch what I want to watch?
They're not the revolutionary redesigns people have been crowing about, but they're definitely good, solid steps forward for the iMac - and it doesn't hurt that the price point hasn't changed and is still solid.
