Apple enthusiasts have laid out six specifications that the new iMac 2017 needs, ranging from fusion drives to Kaby Lake processors.

With a lot of buzz around the new iMac 2017, the folks at Cupertino said that there are several problems with the current iMac which need to be addressed.

Retina display 

With the new iMac taking on a 4K display, MacWorld wants to see the possibility of incorporating DisPlayPort1.3 and Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C. This, it explained, will enable users to use the iMac's 5K screen with a different computer.

Ergonomically friendly adjustments

One of the common complaints with the current iMac is that one can't raise or lower the iMac's screen. All that users can do is just barely adjust the iMac screen by tilting it forwards or backward.

Touch screen

Steve Jobs once said that using a touchscreen iMac would make your arm ache, but people crying out for touch screen abilities for the new iMac 2017 would argue that it is particularly useful for commuters as the trackpad on a laptop is difficult to use in limited space.

Kaby Lake processors

The 21-inch iMac models are still using the old Intel Broadwell chips while the current entry-level model ships with a 1.6GHz Core i5-5250U processor, which is normally used for laptops.

Graphics in the new iMac

The 21-in models come with integrated Intel Iris Pro 6200 graphics, while the graphics processors in the current 27-inch iMac are all from AMD. MacWorld expects that the new iMac 2017 will feature graphics chips from AMD's Polaris. The Polaris chips, it said, offers improved graphics performance but it doubts that the new iMac will be a better proposition to gamers than the current line up.

PC World, meanwhile, added that the AMD GPUs would also bring the potential of Virtual Reality support, a feature that has long been desired for Apple devices. It is expected that the new iMac 2017 will be the first to get VR support among Apple devices.
