Apple updates iMac line, adds 'multitouch' mouse

The wireless Magic Mouse, as Apple calls it, will come included. It lets people manipulate what they see on the screen by pinching, swiping and using other gestures.

CUPERTINO: Apple Inc is updating its iMac desktop computer line and introducing a mouse that responds to the touch of fingers instead of using buttons or scroll wheels.

The updated iMacs have bigger screens 21.5 inches (54 centimeters) and 27 inches (68 centimeters), compared with existing models' 20 inches and 24 inches. They also have speedier processors and better graphics. The least expensive model costs $1,199, the same as the past generation, but the top-of-the-line iMac is now $200 cheaper, at $1,999.

The wireless Magic Mouse, as Apple calls it, will come included. It lets people manipulate what they see on the screen by pinching, swiping and using other gestures. It's similar to the control mechanism made popular on the screen of the iPhone.
