Low performance
Very little is upgradable
Base keyboard has no numeric keypad

Silly keyboard design

Still no matte display option. No FireWire 400 port. Compact keyboard lacks number pad. DDR3 RAM still very expensive.

Design remains superb, good performance, Apple attention to detail, all-in-one casing saves space
Exorbitant price, no included Apple remote, keyboard has no number pad, rear casing gets hot, only RAM can be upgraded, no adapters included for DVI or VGA connections
The upgrades to the latest Apple iMac are largely underwhelming, but the computer retains its excellently crafted design. It’s still an outstanding machine, but the smaller keyboard, lack of included remote and the fact that no display adapters are...
