iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)

This was the first iMac with a Retina 5K display, 5120×2880 pixels on a 27-inch panel, in the same thin case as the iMac (27-inch, Late 2013). It has a 3.5 GHz Haswell Core i5, AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics, two Thunderbolt 2 ports and a 1 TB Fusion Drive as standard. A 4.0 GHz Core i7 and R9 M295X graphics were build-to-order options. Because of its resolution, it cannot act as a display for another Mac.
