A monster in every sense. A capacious 27-inch screen, paired with slick, slimline design and features to satisfy even the most fastidious tech fancier, the iMac is Apple’s crowning glory and the computer for those who want great looks matched with bree...
The 27-inch iMac is all about the screen. Its 2560x1440 pixel panel makes watching HD content an absolute joy and looks every bit as sharp as most TVs. If you’re into video editing and tinkering with your photos, the screen real estate is invaluable, even if you do need to sit some way back to appreciate it and stop your eyes going squiffy. Connectivity is peachy, with four USB ports and HDMI as...
Again, it’s down to price. £1,429 is a huge amount in anyone’s book. The Intel processor could be a better i7 for that amount and perhaps even the hard drive could push itself beyond 1TB. It’s also massive, so if space is limited, maybe take a look at the 21.5-inch version.
It’s hard to argue against the iMac when it comes to desktop PCs. Nothing quite measures up to its great looks and the peerless OS X Snow Leopard, which makes everything so easy to handle. You’ll need to be prepared for your bank balance to take a batt...

Still just as big, still just as glossy, the iMac 27-inch panel is also still just as good. Unfortunately no matte panel is available for the iMac, in contrast to the MacBook Pro range (for which it is billed at £41)In 16:9 format, the 27-inch screen o...

When Apple last updated its iMac range, it replaced the old plastic-backed 20in and 24in models with all-aluminium 21.5in and 27in designs that packed in all manner of new features.That was less than a year ago, though, so this late 2010 update simply...

Though the SSD-equipped 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac is impressive, we suspect that it won’t hold the title of World’s Fastest Mac for very long. Two new Mac Pros (the £1,999 quad core 2.8GHz Xeon model and the £2,799 eight core 2.4GHz Xeon model) just arrived in the lab...

While the iMac got a big upgrade last year to Core i, and the 24-inch expanded to 27, this year's upgrade is a lot more modest. Processors have been given a boost in speed in Core i3, i5 and i7 flavours, and there's now a Radeon HD 5000 series ins...
While others have tried and failed, the iMac is still king of the hill when it comes to all-in-ones. All that's left to ask for is faster external storage and better SSDs, but for now it still comes highly recommended.
