This iMac is preloaded with OS X, but will get the Yosemite treat once it becomes available. Just like the iPhone 5s this new iMac though considered entry-level get the proprietary Mac applications like iLife and iWork. iLife includes iMovie, Garageband and iPhoto. While iWork includes Pages, Number and Keynote

We're actually looking forward that one day Apple will revive the concept of iMac(iMac G3) back in '98, not the speed and power though, it will be like a travel back to the past. We are looking into those colors that you can choose from as stock casing for the new iMac(s), just like what is being offer for iTouch series and iPhone 5c.

However, since stick-ons and vinyls became widely available, we can personalise it whenever we want without getting bored with one color.

The entry level 21-inch iMac is will be available for $1099 USD, which is less than PHP 49,000.00 before tax.

It's already available through your local(PH) Apple store. The 21-inch iMac's price starts at 56,990. Subject to change once you personalize the specifications based from your choice.
