The iMac isn’t a cheap system, but you certainly get what you pay for. The updates the latest refresh has added aren’t groundbreaking and the continued lack of Blu-ray is something of an annoyance but we can forgive the latter and on most other fronts...

For close-up daily work, we found the size and resolution of this 21.5in full-HD screen to be a comfortable fit. Designers and those looking for large-screen entertainment are better served by the 27in iMac. Formidable attention to detail in design and...

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...

The weakness in the iMac range really lies in the models that aren?t available ? I still miss the discontinued 24in model, while the lack of a more affordable machine in the ?700-?800 range seems to suggest that Apple is simply turning its nose up at...

Improved Intel processors, abity to upgrade spec during purchase including option for solid-state drives on 27-inch iMacs, top end Quad-Core iMac outpaces similar Mac Pro, stylish, slimline design

Limited upgrade ability comapred to high end Mac Pro, same display as previous models and no non-glossy screen option, reasons to upgrade aren’t very compelling, new Magic Trackpad costs an additional £59

There’s little doubt that 2010 is the year of the iPad and iPhone for Apple, with the company largely focusing on the new kids on the block. But the Mac isn’t entirely out of the picture. While the Mac business is a more mature product line than...

This computer is good. It has a core i3 3.2 Ghz processor, 4GB of ram, and a 500GB HDD (note: my computer is an iMac from mid 2010 with a 1TB hard drive, no difference from this other than capacity ; This computer is beautifully designed, and it's 2560...

This computer is OUTDATED. Its Core i3 can't handle recording Minecraft at more than 720p 30fps, with a ton of inventory lag. Even the 1TB hard drive on mine isn't sufficient, so I have an external Seagate 2TB in addition

none that I know of; it does not work

cannot return it; this thing was DOA; plugged it up only to get the 3 beep RAM error; now I have to see what that's all about but drama already. never again
