iMac Retina Bargain

15” MacBook Pro Retina: 221 PPI (pixels per inch), iPad Air: 264 PPI, iPhone 6 Plus: 401 PPI. That covers three of the four Apple devices I use regularly. Is it any wonder that I feel like something is wrong with my eyes whenever I login to my 2009 27” iMac with its paltry 109 PPI? And to think, I used to believe the big guy with its 2560 X 1440 display was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. Now, compared to all my other Apple devices, every pixel on the 27” screen looks as big as a golfball. Somethin’s gotta give.
Enter the new 27” iMac 5K Retina. With its 5120 X 2880 resolution and 218 PPI density, Apple’s most recent desktop offering is just what the doctor ordered to relieve my blurry vision. I looked at one at my Apple store and it is as beautiful as all the reviews say. There’s only one word for the 5K display: Stunning! And now, I can get one at a significant discount. It’s been just long enough after the launch for the big beauties to start showing up on Apple’s refurbished site.
