Awesome design and build quality ; Very cool and quiet ; Plays games decently ; Convenience ; Great screen

Mediocre webcam ; Default colour settings not great ; Price

Finally, while the glass front means this isn't a true professional class screen, reflections aren't anything like as bad as you'd expect. This is largely down to changes introduced last year, namely an improved coating and tighter air gap, but the...

Haswell processors ; 802.11ac ; Beautiful slimline design ; Nvidia 7 Series graphics ; Good custom build options

No optical drive ; Limited upgrade options ; £50 or £100 more expensive than last year ; No Hyper Threading on standard processors ; Didn't get a Retina screen option

Expensive; Limited serviceability; No optical drive; Fusion drive not standard

While the new iMac looks the same as last years, we don't have any issue with that. It's a gorgeous piece of kit and feels far more premium than virtually every other desktop computer.

Stunning, low-glare display ; Improved graphics performance, disk speeds ; Attractive design ; Robust audio

No optical drive

We already loved the iMac for its attractive design, forceful audio and sharp, low-glare screen, so it's even easier to recommend it now that it's been upgraded with new processors, more powerful GPUs, faster 802.11ac WiFi and speedier PCIe SSDs....
