Apple iMac 27-inch (2019) review
A new powerhouse atop Apple's consumer all-in-one range
Stunning 5K display with wide color gamut ; Vega 48 outperforms even high-end eGPUs ; Remains quiet with heavy workload
Costly ample SSD storage ; 8GB RAM to start throughout models ; Mouse remains annoying to charge
The 27-inch Apple iMac’s 5K display remains a gorgeous standout feature, and if you need top-notch performance, the high-end CPU and GPU options are justifiable extras. We only wish every buyer got to enjoy a responsive iMac with an SSD.

iMac Retina 5K (2019) review
It's still wearing 2012's garb, but what's inside counts most in Apple's latest iMac refresh
Gorgeous display ; Fast and responsive ; Improved graphics
Lacks T2 processor ; Can get very expensive ; No SSDs by default
More ‘return of the Mac’ than ‘Mac to the future’, this is nonetheless a solid refresh for Apple’s iconic desktop

Apple iMac 27-inch (2019) review
Apple's been working miracles behind that well-worn look. It's crammed newer and newer (meaning hotter and hotter) components into the tiny space behind the iMac's screen without having the systems explode into flames -- I really didn't think it could...
The Apple iMac's 27-inch 5K display remains the most color-accurate monitor we've seen thus far in an all-in-one. Improved performance is especially impressive in the Core i9 model. Two USB-C/Thunderbolt connectors drive more external displays and...
The design, including thick screen bezels, feels dated. UHS-II SD cards still aren't fully supported. The tilt-only screen doesn't offer enough adjustment options.
It's something of a miracle that Apple can continue to cram newer (and hotter) components into the tiny space behind the iMac's screen, but we're already ready for a bigger redesign.

Apple iMac 27-Inch With 5K Retina Display (2019) Review
With a newly available Intel Core i9 CPU and updated AMD Radeon Pro graphics, the 2019 reboot of the 27-inch Apple iMac all-in-one is now as powerful as it is beautiful.

Apple iMac 27-inch (2019) review: Apple iMac 2019 is a millennial trapped in the body of a baby boomer
The inveterate desktop speeds up thanks to newer components, but it's time for the design to retire.

Apple's popular 27-inch iMac (starting at $1,799, reviewed at $3,449) has always been a top pick for a wide range of power users, from enterprise executives to online influencers. This year, Apple quietly refreshed both the 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac...

Review: Apple's 2017 27" 5K iMac impresses with truly powerful desktop-class graphics
