The editors liked

  • Amazing screen
  • Solid performance
  • Solid price point
  • Everything on your screen just looks incredibly sharp and natural
  • Especially text and elements of the operating system. Content creators will love being able to see more of their work at native resolution
  • And will benefit from the additional real-estate
  • Incredible Retina display
  • Fast Haswell system architecture
  • Integration with other Apple products via iCloud and Continuity
  • 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
  • Stunning 5K display
  • Robust software suite
  • Solid productivity performance
  • Elegant design
  • Brilliant 27-inch 5K display brings Retina to the iMac. High-end performance for video and photo editing. Fusion Drive comes standard.
  • Astonishing 5
  • 120x2
  • 880 display
  • Zippy performance
  • Except for gaming
  • Nifty Fusion Drive
  • Superlative software
  • Fairly priced
  • Retina 5K display is incredibly bright
  • Detailed and accurate
  • Ability to cut 4K video with screen real estate to spare
  • Priced in line with standalone ultra highres monitors
  • Incredible display
  • Outstanding value for money
  • Fast system architecture throughout
  • Beautiful design
  • Spectacular display
  • Slim
  • Attractive body
  • A terabyte of solid-state storage is a remarkable thing
  • Seriously
  • The screen is fantastic
  • Absolutely the best PC display
  • Desktop or otherwise
  • You can buy. Very reasonable price tag for a 5K machine. Solid performance. Whisperthin unibody design
  • That glorious 5K display. Quiet and mostly unobtrusive. Largely wellspecced.
  • Best-in-class 5K screen offers bright colors
  • Wide viewing angles
  • Fast performance
  • Attractive design
  • Robust audio

The editors didn't like

  • Can't use as external monitor
  • Only RAM is upgradeable
  • Very little 4K content
  • For viewing video content at normal distances
  • There isn't a huge difference between the Retina 5K and the previous iMac. The base model doesn't have the power to accommodate heavy production tasks
  • So prepare to pay more. Annoying that only the RAM is us
  • Other computers can't use the iMac as a monitor
  • 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
  • Pricey
  • Mixed gaming performance
  • Loses the monitor functionality of other iMacs. Upgrades limited to adding RAM. Lacks height adjustment. Rear-mounted ports aren't convenient
  • No video input
  • Unlike other iMacs
  • Can't be used as a monitor
  • No front-mounted USB ports
  • Oh
  • Forget it
  • Just look at that screen
  • Base configuration needs more RAM
  • Apple RAM upgrades are expensive
  • But you can upgrade the RAM yourself
  • Builtin speakers a good
  • But not spectacular
  • You'll pay for the power you need
  • Doesn't work as a secondary display
  • Wish the stand had adjustable height. Rear ports are difficult to reach
  • Plugging in peripherals takes some trial and error. Broadwell processors will likely bring faster processing in an update next year
  • 8GB of RAM is disappointing
  • Expensive compared to other all-in-ones
  • Can't be used as a secondary display

  • Apple has made the Apple ecosystem "stickier" for users. Hardware aside, the ability to "hand-off" work from one Apple device to another makes it a great productivity tool. So the combo of the iMac - for that matter, any Mac computer - with Yosemite makes...

  • Abstract:  At first glance, the new iMac looks like many of its predecessors.It has the same sleek aluminium chassis with black bezel around the display. At its sides, it tapers to a width of only 5mm thick. But it bulges at the back sitting on the aluminium stand, ...

  • Gorgeous 5K display, Slim, compact, elegant design, Decent overall performance, Good value considering Dell's 5K monitor
  • Cannot be used as external monitor, Pricey with upgrades, Not suitable for gaming, Stand does not adjust for height
  • To evaluate the new iMac with Retina 5K display, we will be measuring its Geekbench scores against some of the more recent Mac systems that we have tested - a Late 2013 27-inch iMac and 15-inch MacBook Pro as well as the recently released “entry-level” 21...

  • La iMac Retina 5K es una buena alternativa para aquellos que buscan un equipo de escritorio todo en uno para editar video en 4K o imágenes de alta resolución. Las especificaciones de base son decentes y permiten ejecutar múltiples aplicaciones sin sufrir...

  • Lo bueno, Pantalla con resolución 5K (5120 x 2880 pixeles), Tecnología Retina Display, Estructura delgada, Buena velocidad y procesamiento, 1TB de almacenamiento interno Fusion Drive.
  • Precio elevado
  • Las funciones multimedia conjugadas con el procesador hacen de su uso una experiencia inigualable a la hora de realizar procesos audiovisuales. Además, hay que sumarle las aplicaciones que vienen instaladas en el equipo y muchas más que se pueden utiliz...

  • Pantalla de gran calidad y resolución 5K, Diseño y ergonomía de excelente factura, Rendimiento por encima de la media
  • El precio está a la altura de la exclusividad del equipo, El procesador no usa tecnología Hyperthreading, El disco duro no se puede ampliar de un modo "doméstico"

  • Resolución y calidad de la pantalla, Gran rendimiento gráfico, Es capaz de ejecutar juegos a máxima resolución y detalle
  • Temperatura, GPU y CPU suben rápidamente, Interfaz no usable en la resolución nativa 5K
  • Y llegamos al final, al momento en el que toca exponer las conclusiones. Espero que después de todo lo que os he contado tengáis vuestra propia radiografía del equipo. Para mí, el iMac con pantalla Retina 5K es un equipo increíble con una pantalla que cor...

  • Abstract:  No me equivocaré mucho si digo que en los últimos diez años he probado el 80% (como mínimo) de los ordenadores que ha sacado Apple. Y probablemente he probado el 100% de alguna de las versiones de los diferentes modelos de iMac. La situación más habitual ...

  • La nueva iMac de 27 pulgadas ofrece una asombrosa pantalla de 5K por no mucho más que el modelo de más alta gama del año pasado. El diseño, aunque no actualizado, sigue siendo la referencia para las computadoras de escritorio todo en uno.
  • Excepto la nueva pantalla y un procesador diferente, los componentes en esencia no han cambiado en comparación con la versión del año pasado. El alto precio del modelo básico sólo ofrece un procesador Core i5 de nivel medio
  • Apple se salta la gama 4K y va directamente a lo que la compañía llama una pantalla 5K en esta costosa iMac que atraerá a profesionales de la fotografía y el video, o cualquiera que busque la mejor resolución posible....

  • Simple: una pantalla espectacular, Diseño delgado, y sumamente estilizado, Rendimiento que cumple
  • Precio elevado, ojo, respecto a sus especificaciones técnicas, Si queremos sacarle partido al panel, hay que optar por la configuración más cara, No podemos utilizarlo como pantalla externa
  • No podemos caer en el error de mencionar que Apple ha reinventado el mercado de los AiO con este iMac Retina 5K, no obstante, si podemos decir que ha traído al mercado una de las mejores pantallas, en un AiO, sobre cualquier apartado técnico; además igual...
