Does the new 27" iMac still use mobile chipset for 4850?

In the previous iMac models the 4850 video card was based off the mobile chipset. Now I'm wondering if the new specs have bumped up the video card to use the desktop chipset.
I assume it isn't to keep the same form factor but with the added space it seems possible...
Anyone know?

ifixit.com has a photo teardown of the new 27" iMac. Perhaps you can get an idea from the photos. They did mention that the CPU is the Intel desktop model instead of the mobile version in previous iMacs.

Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

I just bought the 17" MacBookPro the other day with Lion preinstalled and wanted to install Lion on my iMac. It makes sense that I should be able to upgrade for free you spend all this money on Apple products, give us apple supporters a break. Maybe this is something that Apple overlooked and in the future there will be a fix.
I read up on forums and I finally called AppleCare they said that I should be able to install Lion on 5 other computers but only if purchased in the store, this doesn't make any sense. I feel like I already purchased a copy and that copy should be able to be installed on another computer. It should be as simple as logging in app store with the same apple ID and it be there to install on my iMac. If apple is trying to make everything user friendly, device syncying and convenient well it's not; this is just something they think of. I refuse to pay $30 for another copy. Fix this issue APPPLE!!!
Because if those who bought computers in July that didn't have Lion preinstalled can obtain a free copy to install in 5 computers. I should be able to do the same with the Lion that I bought preinstalled it's just make sense to me.

Does the new thin iMac have a cd/DVD player

My friends say they just bought a new iMac and it has no cd/DVD player. I's this true? How do you watch a movie or download music?

No it does not. But you can use any external DVd drive that connects by USB with it. Mosy cost around $30US.
It does not have to be sold by or have the Apple name on it to work with any Mac, even the newest models.

Does the new AR 7 11 use lossy compression

I am contemplating buying the new Sony AR 7 11 and the big question for me is does it use lossy compression? If it does I am not interested in buying it. Can anyone in these forums answer this for me? Thanks Jeri

Can the new 2012 imac be used for ps3/xbox?

Hi, i'm looking at getting the new 21.5" imac and i'm wanting to know whether i could/how to use it as a monitor for xbox/ps3 somehow?
I've looked all over to try and find out how, but all i seem to be finding is that the hdmi to mini display port adapters arent compatible with the thunderbolt models, so is there anyother way to do it? Thanks

For a more definitive answer please read what Apple says in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the new 24" iMac have an HD display?

Basically I'm just wondering if the new display on the brand new iMac 24" is High Definition since it's the same resolution as the the 23" HD Cinema Display, and has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO.

1080p looks great on it -- if you want to wait for the trailer to download. If it's a popular trailer, the servers just aren't going to stream it to you fast enough to make it worth your while. 720p seems to be the sweet spot for streaming trailers... If you get content elsewhere, however...

Does the new Time Capsule still have the exploding power supply?

I've always liked the idea of TC, except I read how the design is so bad, with power supplies that explode, fans that simply do not turn on (what is the point to that?) and so have a VERY short lifespan.
Has Apple finally designed the TC so that it will last as long as any other hard drive? That would be nice. Then I would get one.

I doubt the word explode is correct.. overheated and caused the capacitors to die.
The design is fundamentally flawed. There is no way a running fan can draw in cool air so there is no point running it. The unit is sealed so when the power supply does die, it cannot be replaced.. although as a part it is probably $20 and would be around half an hour of techs time to replace if they were made available. But no.. it is a consumable. Someone has been having to many executive lunches to understand the cost is significant to the hoi polloi even if Apple Executives miss the point.
The newer ones are definitely cooler running.. but the same design flaw hasn't gone away.

Does the new AIR SDK support iOS 64-bit for Flex Developers?

I saw that the new AIR SDK(December 18, 2014) has supported iOS 64-bit, but it was only supported in the new compiler. See this:
Please note that support for creating universal IPA binaries will only be available in the new compiler. The legacy compiler is not (and will not be)
compatible with iOS 64-bit. Because of this, it will be removed with version 16 of the AIR SDK. To ensure that Adobe as well as third party tools
are able to work with this AIR SDK, the -useLegacyAOT option will continue to exist, but will be internally mapped to the new compiler.
AFAIK, the Flex uses the old compiler and AIR SDK for Flex Developers doesn't include ActionScript 2.0 Compiler. As a Flex developer, what shall I do?

Hi,
I guess, you might be packaging IPA on windows machine. Please try latest beta at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html which has iOS64 support on Windows machine as well.
Thanks

Does the new Macbook Pro still work with HDMI input?

Im wondering that ever since that new thunderbolt port has come out on the newest macbook, would connecting an HDMI adapter in the port still work for the newest model?

For HDMI output from the MBP to a monitor or TV, yes. For HDMI input from another device into the MBP, I'm not sure. That certainly wasn't possible before Thunderbolt, and I don't know whether or not Thunderbolt makes it possible now.

What type of compression does the new version of QT use?

I just opened a 1080p video shot with a AVCHD camera, did a basic trim and exported at 1080p.
What type of compression is the version of QT that comes with Mavericks applying to the video? Is it heavily compressed?
Thanks.

Hi Jasper and welcome to Discussions,
iMac Computers (August 2007)
The iMac Computers introduced in August 2007, based on the Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessor, provide two RAM slots that accommodate 200-pin DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMMs up to 1.25” in height. The SO-DIMMs must be DDR2-667 (PC2-5300) compliant and must be unbuffered, unregistered, 8-byte, nonparity, and non-ECC.
The iMac ships with one 1 GB, 667 MHz, SDRAM SO-DIMMs installed, for a total of 1 GB. The largest capacity SO-DIMM supported is 2 GB, for a total maximum of 4 GB.
Memory configure-to-order options are: two 1 GB DIMMs for a total of 2 GB or two 2 GB DIMM for a total of 4 GB.
The memory controller supports 1 GB and 2 GB SO-DIMMs; other configurations are untested. Because the memory in the two slots is configured as a contiguous array of memory, when both SO-DIMMs are the same size and type, the interleaving function is able to improve performance.
The iMac supports a CAS latency of 5.
The width of each 667 MHz memory bus is 64 bits.
The maximum number of devices per SO-DIMM is 16.
Regards
Stefan

Does the new MBP 13" still have a slot feed DVD drive?

I know the specs show that it has a DVD drive but all the pictures I see don't show it. So Are they making it an external drive now?
Thanks

Slot-loading. Same as always

Has anyone seen the new 2012 iMac in any Apple stores yet?

I was told by an Apple store employee that they would have the new 2012 iMac's in the Apple stores with-in a few days of their launch announcement, back in late October .... here it is late November and the new 2012 iMac's are not yet in the Apple store, for display purposes, here in Rochester, NY.
Last night I was again at the Apple store here in Rochester, and asking about the new iMacs. one of the employees now says they "may be out in December" some time.
I'm very disapponted as a loyal Mac user for over twenty years (and even as an Apple investor). that Apple is announcing the launch of these new products, and then taking months for these products to show up for sale.
I'm starting to think that it won't be until late January that I can actually be able to purchase one of the new 2012 21.5" iMacs ..... i've been waiting years to get a new "antiglare" iMac.
Has any one actually seen one of the new 21.5" 2012 iMacs in one of their local Apple stores, on display yet?

UPDATE: Dec. 6, 2012
I was just over at the local Apple store loking at the new 21.5" iMac, and to be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. I have been waiting for over a year to upgrade my Mac, and had high expectations for the new 2012 iMac's .... but seeing and playing with one in the store .... the new one's may not be for me.
Most of all I wanted to believe all the talk about 75% less reflections in the new iMac display, but while in the Apple store, I saw no real difference over the previous model ... and if so, it was more like 25% less reflections. Nothing that dramatic, certainly not like the "anti-glare" screens available in the 2011 MacBook Pro. Basically, my understanding is that the new 2012 iMac's use the SAME DISPLAY as the previous iMac models did. It's the LG "LM215WF3" display, same as those in the 2009-2011 iMac displays. The only difference in the 2012 display, is that they took out the small space between the outer glass and the actual screen surface to get the overall display thinner. It still has the basic "glossy glass" cover screen.
The other disappointment was the extremely poor audio sound from the new iMac's built-in speakers. They just sounded so "tinny", even when playing with multiple iTunes "equalizer" settings. Again, disappointing.
Looks like I'll have to research the possibility of buying a Mini-Mac and an older Apple 20" cinema display off eBay. Or pick up a late model 2011 iMac and get the Rad-Tech "anti-glare" screen film for the display (Ugh!).
Being a graphic designer and art director in profession, I just can't understand why Apple has abandoned the "professional" market for these glossy displays in it's iMac line .... or at least STILL hasn't given us an option for a true "anti-glare" display.
Is it just me, or are my observations on the new 2012 iMac being seen the same by others as well?

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.
