Stunning design ; Brilliant bright display and very fast performance

Upgrade pricing is steep ; Smaller bezel please

The iMac remains the all-in-one to beat in almost every department. Its design is impressive, the screen is bright, sharp and colourful and the entry model is good value. It's as capable of chucking out 4K ProRes files as it is dealing with raw format...
