The newest iMac is a great product, and despite Apple's reputation for making pricey things, it's actually a great value, too. Even as other computer makers catch up in terms of screen resolution and industrial design, the iMac stands out with a...

Beautiful, vibrant display. Solid performance out of the box, and expandable out the wazoo at the time of purchase. Head-turning industrial design. Plenty of I/O ports for your accessory needs: four USB 3.0, two Thunderbolt, Ethernet, SDXC card slot,...

Pricey. Built-in speakers are loud, but lack bass. No optical drive could be a total downer for some. On the 21.5-inch, there’s no way to upgrade the memory yourself, and the standard (non-Fusion) hard drive is only capable of 5,400 rpm. 27-incher gets...

Big screen, thin design, fast, looks good, Fusion drive

Not very portable

While we had reservations about the 21.5-inch in the workplace, the 27-inch model offers enough beef to dispel those fears. It's a big, powerful, and thoroughly enjoyable machine to use and one with which you won't be disappointed.

The 27in iMac is an obvious first choice for any creative designer. It’s immensely powerful and delivers the best image quality. It also offers peerless design, impeccable build-quality and the ability to run the more powerful OS X. It’s a pricier...
