Apple must have some incredible thin margins on the newly announced iMac with Retina 5K. The new system features a display with four times as many pixels as the 27-inch iMac and seven times what you find in a typical 1080p display. Most high quality 4K monitors are going for around $1200 or more. Dell is the only company with an and it is set to have a price of $2499, the same as the iMac with Retina 5K’s starting price. With the 27-inch iMac having a price of $1799, this means buyers get an amazing display upgrade for just $700, less than many less stellar 4K displays are going for. Don’t forget, the new Retina based iMac also features improved graphics processor and a bumped up CPU as well. Of course this is just the base system. If you upgrade it fully, the price jumps well over $4000 but most people can work just fine on the base version.
