Apple iMac with 4K display review: small all-in-one gains a hugely impressive screen

The most compact desktop around just turned beautiful, and more useful too

Display ; Design ; Build quality

Fusion Drive not standard ; No height adjustability ; No discrete GPU

24in Apple iMac desktop PC

The 24in iMac - which starts at £799 - is Apple's first refresh to its all-in-one desktop line.

Svelte and appealing though the new iMac is, with the Leopard OS slated to ship in October, we recommend against purchasing a new iMac right away. At some point Apple presumably will announce what, if any, plan it will offer to buyers of the first wave...

Apple iMac DV Special Edition

This latest version of the iMac has everything high-end users could want, especially those who intend to use their Mac as a digital video editing station.

Apple 0870 600 6010

If you thought the iMac couldn't get any more attractive, the Special Edition DV will prove you wrong. It's a fast performer and we love the new-look design.

Apple iMac 21.5in (Late 2009)

Apple's refreshed iMac desktop computer is cheaper but more powerful than its predecessor, and it features a more vibrant display. If you're still a Windows user or have an older Mac, the latest iMac is certainly tempting. However, we weren't impressed...

LED-backlit display, SD card slot, powerful, comparatively inexpensive ;

No Blu-ray drive, Magic Mouse is troublesome ;

As with all of its computers, Apple bundles Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. You also get a copy of iLife 09, which includes iMovie, Garage Band and iPhoto software. Apple's productivity suite, iWork 09, isn't included

Apple iMac

Supersleek all-in-one system offers great image quality.

Sleek, all-in-one design, improved screen quality

All-in-one design limits expansion

As appealing as the new iMac is, with the Leopard operating system coming this month, I'd recommend holding off. If you do, you'll get the new OS preinstalled.

Apple iMac (27-inch review: Apple iMac (27-inch

If we could, we'd take points away from this iMac simply because by giving it a 27-inch display Apple threatens our livelihood. You don't need our input to simply walk past the 27-inch iMac on a store shelf and recognize that it's the largest...

Largest display among all-in-ones; fast dual-core CPU makes up for lack of quad-core (mostly); finally has an SD card slot; wireless mouse and keyboard; Mini DisplayPort input ripe with possibility.

Most Windows all-in-ones in the price range have Blu-ray; touch-sensitive mouse gestures not as responsive as we'd like; Apple's nickel-and-dime customer service policy.

Apple's new 27-inch iMac will charm plenty of you with its screen size alone. Fortunately, that won't lead you astray. Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the...

Apple iMac (3rd Gen.) review

The 17-inch iMac may seem inadequate next to Apple's new 24-inch behemoth, but Apple's smallest all-in-one desktop still has a lot going for it. Priced at $999, it's the first iMac to break the $1,000 barrier. Along with the 24-inch iMac , it receives...

Low price; good looks; new Core 2 Duo processor; fantastic software bundle.

No SuperDrive; configuration options are almost nonexistent; phone support lasts only 90 days.

The 17-inch iMac is missing a few features you might like--SuperDrive and a remote control, to name two--but it still makes a stellar home PC, thanks to its great design, new Core 2 Duo processor, and superior software bundle. Plus, its price makes it...
