The idea of a 5K 27in iMac for less than £1,500 might sound attractive, but we'd advise that you think twice about that model, equipped as it is with a standard (slow) hard drive. Essentially the only difference between that model and the one above it is...
The iMac 5K is a tough all-in-one to beat and with Microsoft going in at even higher price doesn't help. Whether it's worth paying extra for the Surface Studio largely comes down to whether you'll benefit from it's flexible design, touchscreen, the Surfac...
Desktoplevel performance. Super detailed colouraccurate screen with a wide gamut. Graceful desig
Screen not able to produce 100% of Adobe RGB colour space. Less powerful GPU reduces performance in accelerated apps
If you only care about performance, buy a desktop PC. If you only care about colour accurary, buy an Eizo ColorEdge monitor and attach it to a desktop PC.If you want performance and colour accuracy that's good enough for most of us – and you also want a s...

Beautiful and slim design, stunning and improved display, plenty of power, new Magic Keyboard is lovely, upgradeable RAM port, lower price than predecessor
Ports on the rear difficult to access, extra RAM from Apple is pricey, 1TB Fusion Drive drop in SSD portion (no issue for 2TB), not all applications will render resolution optimised
The new Apple 5K iMac is an excellent all-in-one. It not only looks beautiful, but it performs impeccably too. It is the machine for professionals; those who need a computer that won't let them down when it comes to editing 4K video or crunching thr...
Still a great design, Incredible 5K Retina screen, Solid performance with Skylake chipset and discrete GPU, Rechargable keyboard an improvement
Not ideal for gaming
The 27-inch iMac 2015 comes with a brand-new wireless mouse and keyboard, both of which pair with the iMac automatically. The mouse is almost identical to the Magic Mouse, with which we're familiar. It features gesture control and is pretty compact, if a...
Although the 27-inch iMac starts at £1,449, you should at least buy the Fusion Drive for an extra £80 or, better yet, upgrade to the next model, which has the Fusion Drive and faster graphics, and costs £1,599. Given that this is a computer aimed at profe...
I'm going to keep this brief: the Apple 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is great. Really, really great. I love it. I'd totally buy one if I had the money, and my only bugbear – aside from the non-adjustable stand – is the lack of really powerful graph...
Speakers and webcam need improving, Rear sockets aren't the most convenient, Pretty pricey
The 5K 27in iMac is the most desirable home computer in the world The 5K 27in iMac is the most desirable home computer in the world. It doesn't try any funny stuff or any ‘revolutionary' gimmicks. However, fantastic hardware design, great software and a...
We'll hold off on our final verdict until we can more thoroughly test these new iMacs. Our initial impression is that the entry-level model isn't the best deal because it only offers a hard drive and the build to order Fusion Drive takes the price very cl...
