Abstract: Removing the need for a large box tucked away under the desk, AIOs have benefitted from the miniaturisation of technology used in mobile computing, allowing more powerful components to be tucked away into the rear of their displays. While the AIOs of the...
Abstract: There's no two ways around it, the iMac's Retina 5K display has a lot of pixels. Let's do the maths: the 5,120 x 2,880 resolution means that there are 14.7 million of them. If you counted every single one, one every second, it'd take you 170 days non-stop...
Still just about the most beautiful screen you'll see on a desktop computer; Super bright screen; Very fast; Amazingly thin; Supports 802.11ac WiFi for speedy network connections; Arrives with new versions of the Apple peripherals; New keyboard and mouse
No Thunderbolt 3 or USB Type C; Apple's SD card placement on the back is still a pain to work with;

Fast flash-storage available as an option, hampered by slow 5200 rpm hard drive, discrete GPU available only as configuration option, uses previous generation Intel chipset, from $1699
The 5K iMac is an incredible computer, one of the best Macs ever made—but it's also just too much for many people. A 27-inch display can dominate a desk or a room, and though the price tag has come down a lot in the past year, it's still on the pricey sid...
That 5K screen is still absolutely freakin' breathtaking; Display offers excellent colour and brightness; Very fast; Excellent graphics; Still beautifully designed; One of the thinnest desktops you'll ever see; Two Thunderbolt 2 ports included; Speedy 802
Despite the update to Intel's Broadwell, it isn't fan-less; Apple's SD card slot on the back is still questionable placement; Price drop has affected hard drive type and graphics card ever so slightly;
Desktops are sadly becoming a thing of the past, as more people embrace laptops and let these get plugged into monitors as and when you need something that sits on the desk.With this change in computer types, it's still nice to see something modern and so...
