Apple announced this morning that its new, lithe iMac will be available on Friday, November 30.
If you're unfamiliar, you're not alone: the all-in-one desktop computer was announced at the same time as the company's new iPad mini and revamped iPad, and as such was overlooked a bit. Aside from the latest Intel processors, the model is much thinner in appearance (5 millimeters at its thinnest), eight pounds (3.6 kilograms) lighter and carries less reflected glare than its predecessor.
