Apple 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display (2017) review: All-in-one and one-for-all

 

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

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...

Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display hands-on review

 

Thought 4K TVs were impressive? The new iMac one-ups them on resolution, and packs in a computer to boot. Here are our first impressions of it

Apple iMac 27-inch (2017) review

  (Rating Hidden)

With its 27-inch, 5k monitor, there's no denying that the Apple iMac 27-inch is a bit of a looker, and with impressive specs under the hood, including the latest 3.4Ghz i5 processor and 8GB of Ram, we're expecting big things. Read our full review to...

Apple iMac 27in 5K review: Still a stunner

 

Not quite the latest model, but it remains one hell of a machine

Excellent graphics performance; Sharp and vivid screen; Beautiful design

Fusion Drive lags behind SSD; Hard to access ports; Large screen bezels

The latest Apple iMac is a thing of beauty. Not only does it look excellent, it's got sterling performance and an absolutely first-rate display. If you're an artist or designer, you need this in your life.

iMac 27-inch (2017) review

 

With new graphics cards, a better display, faster processors and improvements to the RAM you couldn't really ask for anything more from the new 27-inch iMac

Apple iMac 27-inch 5K review: It sucks... you right in

 

The screen is truly mesmerizing.

Even brighter 5K Retina display than before ; $200 cheaper than previous entry-level ; Wicked fast Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports ; Fusion Drive standard on all models

Sluggish performance with 8GB of RAM

The 2017 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display is an incredible all-in-one computer, but only after you add more RAM.

iMac 5K (2017) vs Microsoft Surface Studio

 

Mac vs PC, it's the age-old debate. Apple's iMac and Microsoft's Surface Studio are going head-to-head in the battle of the century to see which is more deserving of your hard earned cash.

While we admit that the Surface Studio is an impressive bit of kit, the extremely high price tag makes it hard to recommend over the iMac 5K. The Surface Studio would only be worth the extra money if you were really going to get use out of the...

Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display (2017) review

 

Reliable and handsome, the Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display is a true classic.

Classic, handsome styling ; Good selection of high-speed connectivity ; 5K Retina display is still the best ; Solid processor performance

Poor hard drive performance ; Magic Keyboard and Mouse are underwhelming

Apple’s 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K Display remains the benchmark in all-in-one design, despite signs of age, and its display remains unmatched. Cupertino’s classic falls behind in performance, however, and can become incredibly expensive when...

Apple iMac 27-Inch With 5K Retina Display (2017)

 

The newest 27-inch Apple iMac is a gorgeous all-in-one with a brilliant display and a handful of modern upgrades at an appealing price. It's not revolutionary, but it's the best version of the iMac to date.

Sleek, trend-setting design remains. Stunning 5K display is brighter than before. Includes USB-C with Thunderbolt 3.

Rear-facing ports are inconvenient. Limited tilt and no height adjustment options.

That said, Windows-based desktops just keep getting better. The physical hardware is often as well designed, and there are important differentiators being added to the large-display designs. The HP Envy is more eye-catching with its huge curved display...
