The superscreen desktops will be outfitted with quad-core Intel Core i5 processors running at 3GHz, or i7 processors running up to 4Ghz as well as dual Thunderbolt 2 inputs. The machines come with 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics chipset with 2GB of VRAM, and 1TB of hybrid flash-disk storage. That hybrid Fusion drive is 1TB of disk and 128GB of solid-state cache.

The models will start at $2499 (£1999), so be prepared to shell out for the shiny thin model.

A $699 model has a 2.6GHz dual-core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 1TB of disk storage; for $999 you can one with a 2.8GHz dual-core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hybrid drive.
