And âperhaps best of all,â he notes, the iMac is less expensiveââby $200 to $300, depending on the model.â Wendland touts the new display:  âIts glossy glass finish means colors generally look brighter and bolder than with the matte finish of the previous models.â And he praises the new keyboard: âThe most revolutionary design associated with the new iMac is its super-slim aluminum keyboard.The keys are flat, not raised, much like on Appleâs MacBook notebooks, and the whole board is just a third of an inch thick. The keys are a tad bit wider than the old Apple keys, and very easy to type on.â
