While there is healthy competition from Windows alternatives to the smaller 21.5-inch iMac, which remains on the market, too, the larger flagship 27-inch Apple AIO has occupied a relatively empty space at the top of the market for quite some time. And Apple knows it. The company has bestowed few major changes on the iMac in the past few years, most...
Despite the limited stand adjustments, the iMac is exceptionally easy to swivel with one hand on your desk. That’s a good thing, because all of its ports are mounted at the rear, along the right edge. These include four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, two oval-shaped USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 support, an Ethernet jack, a full-size SD card slot, a h...
That built-in Retina 5K display is mostly the same great screen as ever. It’s 27 inches measured on the diagonal, and it features a 5,120-by-2,880-pixel native resolution with support for 1 billion colors and the entire P3 color gamut. The backlight is rated for 500 nits of brightness, and I find that turning it up to its full brightness level offe...
One of the key things missing from last year’s iMac refresh was a camera capable of shooting full HD (1080p) video. The iMac Pro’s camera has offered this ability from day one, and adding it to the 27-inch iMac is a no-brainer in a time when many buyers will be using an AIO as their work-from-home videoconferencing workhorse. The higher resolution ...
Apple includes a wireless Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 with the iMac, upgradable to a Magic Keyboard with number pad and a Magic Trackpad 2for an additional charge. I find the peripherals as exquisitely designed as the rest of the iMac, and appreciate that they come already charged and paired with the computer, right out of the box. Sharp styli...
Apple made no changes to the iMac’s speaker hardware, which is a good thing. The stereo speakers offer dimensional sound and eminently robust bass, even when listening to a punishing track like one of our audio-testing standards, “The Knife,” by Silent Shout. The excellent bass is thanks in part to the new audio controller in the T2 chip, which ena...
An iMac refresh sometimes brings new features, but it almost always brings something else, too: more computing and graphics horsepower, thanks to the latest processors from Intel and AMD. This refresh is no different. The 27-inch iMac now uses Intel’s latest 10th Generation “Comet Lake” desktop CPUs. The entry-level model has a six-core Core i5 wit...
If you’re opening your wallet in part to accommodate the latest and greatest silicon from AMD and Intel, you should expect lightning-fast computing performance, and the iMac does not disappoint. To quantify its capabilities, I compared its performance on our benchmark tests with that of last year’s model as well as the iMac Pro, Envy 32, and Surfac...
The iMac’s performance advantage largely depends on the types of workflows you typically perform. Apple notes that the newly doubled video memory ceiling could be a godsend for digital artists with multi-step workflows that require running several GPU-dependent programs simultaneously. Rendering a 3D object in one app and compositing it in another ...
With this year’s updates, the 27-inch iMac cleverly bridges the gap between the entry-level AIO market and the much more capable and expensive iMac Pro. The $1,799 starting configuration confers many of the benefits of the version reviewed here, and is an excellent choice for people who don’t need fast processors and just want a big, beautiful scre...
