Apple iMac review (2013)
The iMac remains our favorite all-in-one desktop, and returns this year with beefier graphics, faster WiFi and brisker disk speeds.
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....

Apple iMac with 5K Retina display (27-inch) review
Just when you thought it was safe to get comfortable with the look and language of 4K, Apple comes along and adds what the company is calling a 5K display in the premium 27-inch iMac all-in-one desktop.
The new 27-inch Apple iMac adds a stunning 5K display for not much more than last year's high-end model. The design, while not updated, remains the gold standard for all-in-one desktops.
Except for the new screen and a different GPU, the components are essentially unchanged from last year's version. The high starting price only gets you a mid-level Core i5 processor.
Apple skips 4K and goes directly to what the company calls a 5K display in this expensive, extravagant all-in-one iMac desktop that will appeal to photo and video professionals -- or anyone else looking for the best possible screen resolution.

Apple updates the slim iMac with faster processors, Wi-Fi, and graphics
The new iMac looks the same, but adds Intel's Haswell chips, plus 802.11ac wireless, faster SSDs, and new Nvidia GPUs.
With the addition of Intel's Haswell chips, plus 802.11ac wireless, faster SSD hard drives, and new Nvidia GPUs, the latest ; is a thoroughly up-to-date desktop.
Other big-screen all-in-one systems have handy extras missing here, such as touch screens and HDMI inputs.
Anyone who bought last year's redesigned iMac doesn't need to upgrade, but for owners of older models or anyone looking to switch, the latest 27-inch Apple iMac offers a wide-ranging set of internal upgrades.

Apple iMac 27-inch (Intel Core i5-4670)
The inclusion of the latest 4th-generation Intel Core i5 quad-core CPU and Nvidia GeForce GTX 775M Kepler graphics propel the Apple iMac 27-inch (Intel Core i5-4670) back to the top spot among high-end all-in-one desktops.
Fusion Drive is SSD+HDD, but smart. Stunningly thin design. Impressive low-glare display. Top-of-the-line processor and graphics card offer best-in-class performance. User serviceable memory slots. Ports include Thunderbolt and USB 3.0. Can work as a...
No Touch Screen. SD card slot in back. No internal upgradability beyond RAM. No height adjustment. Requires adapter for HDMI.
Like other Macs, the iMac comes preloaded with iPhoto, iTunes, Mail, etc. The iMac has a one-year warranty. One future-proofing plus is that the iMac can work as a monitor for a future Thunderbolt-equipped Mac. Using one of the two Thunderbolt ports,...

Apple iMac (27-inch, September 2013) review
It's telling that the latest set of updates to Apple's iMac all-in-one desktop were not announced at one of the company's regular stage shows. Instead, the new iMac slipped quietly into Apple's Web site, the news announced via an understated press...

Apple iMac 2013
That's because the updates are internal, putting new hardware inside an iMac body that received a major makeover in 2012. From the outside, this is the same slim screen sitting on top of an aluminum stand and minimalist base. The design was...

Apple iMac 27-inch (Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M)
If you're in the market for a high-end Mac right now, the Apple iMac 27-inch (Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M) is a powerhouse system.
Stunningly thin design. Impressive low-glare display. Top-of-the-line processor and graphics card offer best-in-class performance. User serviceable memory slots. Ports include Thunderbolt and USB 3.0.
Pricey. No internal upgradability. No HDMI-in or out without an adapter. No height adjustment. Needs external Thunderbolt drive for more storage.
The Apple iMac 27-inch (Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M) certainly makes a case for itself, you'll certainly get better performance when you max out the memory and use Flash Storage. If you're a Mac maven who already has external Thunderbolt storage, this is a...

Apple iMac 27-inch (2013) Review
Apple wowed us with the new iMac last year , its incredible design borrowing from aerospace construction methods and the sort of screen lamination only done on smartphones like the iPhone, while inside delivering the sort of power desktop users...
First things first: if you want a computer that’s amenable to hardware tinkering, an all-in-one is not the way to go, iMac or otherwise. Apple’s gamble was that its users would rather have compactness, power, and premium design, even if it meant...

iMac 27-inch (2013)
The best all-in-one desktop just got better
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...
