The starting price for the Apple iMac Retina is 2600 Euros (~$2950). At the beginning of the year, Alienware announced that they too would integrate this card in their brands. Apple was the first to implement this AMD graphics card, which performance-wise lies just below the Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M. The computer's AMD Radeon R9 M295X is particularly interesting. In the configuration of our test device, an Intel Core i7-4790k is responsible for performance. The iMac's slim build calls for a mix of mobile laptop hardware and powerful desktop components. However, we are particularly interested in the machine's inner workings. With a resolution of 5120x 2880 pixels, the display's ppi is 217, just below the 13-inch MacBook Pro 13's 227 ppi.

Like the displays in the MacBook Retina series, the display has an exceptionally high ppi value a feature with which the manufacturer hopes to entice potential buyers.
