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 through several large raw images at pace. But the Average Joe will love it too, even if it potentially offers more in both power and display terms than needed.
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...
A display of this quality would cost a lot on its own; it wouldn’t look anywhere near as pretty; and it wouldn’t come with a fast, capable, fully functioning computer.

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...

Apple's philosophy this year can be summed up with the cliché "if isn't broken, don't fix it." Skylake and better graphics hardware at least keep the iMac relevant, and people new to the Mac platform may be happy, mostly because of the incredible...
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...
The best all-in-one there is, now in both 4K and 5KLast year's iMac brought the Retina display to Apple's desktop product line in dramatic fashion. The 27-inch 5K screen was a jaw-dropping addition that made the all-in-one impossible to look away from....
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...
