Apple 27in LED Cinema Display review

If you're a fan of the 27in Apple iMac, but don't want to give up the portability of your MacBook Pro or expandability of your Mac Pro, Apple thinks you'll love its 27in LED Cinema Display. The display is essentially a 27in iMac without the computer,...

Apple’s 27in LED Cinema Display makes a great companion to any Mac that uses a Mini DisplayPort connection, but is especially well suited to Mac portable users who can take advantage of the provided Mag Safe power connector and the display’s USB ports...

Apple iMac 21.5-inch (Core i3)

The Apple iMac 21.5-inch (Core i3) is the system that can convert your friend/relative/significant other into a Mac-faithful. It has a great design, stellar performance, and a pretty kickass price. For all these reasons and more, the Apple iMac...

Apple 21.5-inch Core i3 iMac/3.06GHz

There's little doubt that 2010 is the year of the iPad and iPhone for Apple, with the company largely focusing on the new kids on the block. But the Mac ...

Apple 27in Thunderbolt Display

From most angles, Apple's new 27in Thunderbolt Display looks just like the 27in LED Cinema Display released last year. However, if you take a closer look at what the Thunderbolt Display has to offer, you'll find a display that's ideal for owners of the...

Can charge Apple laptops; FireWire 800, USB and ethernet connectivity; single cable from Mac cuts down clutter

Stand lacks flexibility; reflective screen limits display placement; few customisation options

For owners of the 2011 MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt Display is a fantastic way to get iMac-like features while still being able to walk away with one of the lightest laptops available. If your Mac has Thunderbolt, FireWire 800 and gigabit ethernet, the...

Apple 27in LED Cinema Display

If you're a fan of the 27in iMac, but don't want to give up the portability of your MacBook Pro or expandability of your Mac Pro, Apple thinks you'll love its new 27in LED Cinema Display. The display is basically a 27in iMac without the computer,...

Magsafe connector to charge Mac portables; built-in speakers and iSight

Limited adjustment options; no height or pivot adjustment; glossy screen is prone to glare; Apple doesn’t officially support using the LED Cinema Display on anything but Mini DisplayPort

Best purchase

I have had Apple Mac for years... and this is the best yet. It was so easy to set up and looks wonderful. And what a price. This deal was perfect for me as I am not ready for Lion yet!

Consumer review (argos.co.uk)

Impressive

We needed a new computer for video editing, looked around for what was available, and discovered that to have a firewire connection already installed really meant going for a Mac. So we bit the bullet and splashed out. A pretty impressive piece of kit,...
