Parse the new Apple iMac Intel 21.5 "EMC 2428 Teardown

 Operatives portal iFixit on the traditionally high level - hardly in the online Apple store has a new 21.5-inch iMac EMC 2428, he was immediately taken to a testing laboratory and has undergone painstaking disassembly. No surprises did not happen - as the previous generation iMac, «the first line of defense is a protective glass screen perfectly removes with a pair of suction cups.

Inside the sample is parsed the following configuration:- Intel Core i5 2,5 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache;- Hard Drive 500 GB Western Digital 7200 rpm;- 4 GB of RAM;- Graphics Card AMD ATI Radeon HD 6750M;- LCD screen with a diagonal of 21.5''LED-backlit display and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (matrix production of LG is the same as in the previous generation iMac);
Located outside the battery terminals:- Audio line in and out,- Four USB 2.0,- Firewire 800,- Gigabit Ethernet, and Thunderbolt.- Slot SDXC located near the optical drive.
In general, no surprises emerged, overall rating of maintainability of the new 21,5''iMac Release iFixit: 7 out of 10 (the higher the score, the easier it is to fix the device on its own). LCD matrix and a protective cover is easily removed, the core components are replaced without any problems. Replacing the graphics chip or the CPU will require extraction of the motherboard that can "get" anyone - would have to unplug the set of connectors and jiggle the card in different directions, pulling it out. Install the screen and protective glass as perfectly as it did at the factory, is unlikely to succeed, so I have to live with it.
