The New 27″ iMac Retina Display

Apple might finally be ready to release its first desktop with a Retina display. Rumors began surfacing this week that the new 27-inch iMac will be receiving a massive boost in resolution from 2560×1440 (109 PPI) to 5120×2880 (218 PPI) — four times the raw number of pixels on-screen. To help push nearly 15 million pixels at once, a new AMD-based GPU is said to be included as well. This is exciting news, but the inevitably-high asking price is bound to scare away most consumers.
