Apple iMac 27-inch (July 2010)

Huge, quality screen and high resolution. SDXC card support. Grunty new GPU. Still the best value all-in-one.

No eSATA port. Gloss screen may irritate some.

While others have tried and failed, the iMac is still king of the hill when it comes to all-in-ones. All that's left to ask for is faster external storage and better SSDs, but for now it still comes highly recommended.

Apple iMac (summer 2010) review

Introduced 10 months ago, Apple's original 27-inch iMac would arguably still be competitive today because of the continued absence of a Windows all-in-one computer with a screen larger than 24 inches. After a model update a few weeks ago , Apple has...

Largest display among all-in-one desktops; best-in-class productivity and gaming performance; DisplayPort provides home entertainment flexibility; SDXC card slot supports cards up to 2TB in size.

Connecting external video devices requires an extra, expensive adapter because it lacks an HDMI port; no Blu-ray drive; runs hot.

Apple's new $1,999 iMac comes with a faster CPU and a new graphics card, helping this 27-inch all-in-one desktop stay as competitive in performance as it already was in screen size. Despite the still-frustrating absence of an HDMI port, we have no...

Apple iMac (27in, mid-2010)

Apple's iMac desktop PC lacks HDMI connectivity and Blu-ray support, but internal upgrades will keep most users happy

LED-backlit display, excellent design and construction, good performance, new processors and graphics cards

No HDMI or Blu-ray, no number pad on included keyboard, glossy display can be distracting

Apple's latest iMac retains an identical design to earlier iMacs but features upgraded internal components. If you've recently purchased an iMac there isn't enough to justify an upgrade, but if you're looking to purchase your first Mac or want to...

Apple iMac i3 2010 review

Every year we run into the same problem: what do you call the update to Apple's latest device? This is always going to be the case when you keep the name, but change the design and specs of a device. So here we have the Apple iMac 21.5-inch, announced...

Design, relatively powerful, wireless keyboard and mouse included, excellent screen

Still no Blu-ray option, connections can be inconvenient around the back

Priced at £999, we can’t help feeling that the price isn’t that bad. Yes, you can get Windows 7 AIO computers with a higher spec at that price, but the Apple iMac wins hands down when it comes to looking good. This is the sort of computer that you can...

Apple iMac (27in, mid-2010)

Apple's iMac desktop PC lacks HDMI connectivity and Blu-ray support, but internal upgrades will keep most users happy

Thinner design, better screen ; Update to Ivy Bridge processors ; Fusion Drive tech compromises speed and space

As usual, pricy for an all-in-one ; Questionable upgradability

Apple iMac 27in (Mid-2010) review

The 27in all-in-one iMac is the first Apple machine to appear in our desktop PC charts, but its specification, performance and value make this power desktop PC…

Upgrades are off-limits and the Apple iMac 27in (Mid-2010) power desktop PC's screen would work even better without the gloss finish. But, given the carefully assembled components here, and provided that games aren't your bag, there will be little...

Apple iMac 27in (Summer 2010 model) review - computer reviews and video

New processors, better graphics and the Magic Touchpad thrown in for free. Is the new iMac still the all-in-one to own?

Gorgeous design. Excellent trackpad. Awesome screen

Dual-core CPU. Mid-range graphics. Rear headphone socket

Apple 27-inch Imac, late 2010 edition

Imac gets its second refresh of the year

Blistering SSD performance, SSD can now be fitted alongside hard drive, bright and vibrant IPS screen

Magic Trackpad costs extra

of Apple's Imac refresh earlier this year, this latest 27-inch Imac is part of slightly less radical update. Unlike the previous refresh, there's no sweeping change to the physical design of the all-in-one Imac. Instead, this 27-inch model sees an...
