5K resolution display ; Fast internal storage ; Well designed

Headphone port is on the wrong side ; No CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive

Incredible display ; Design ; Build quality

Merely OK graphics ; Price ; Fusion Drive not standard

The iMac with 5K Retina display is a stunning computer that’s also practical thanks to its pixel-packed display. All of those pixels make a tangible difference to its usability, as not only can you fit more onto the screen, the increased quality makes...

Display ; Peformance ; Sound ; Accessories

Core i7 costs extra ; No height adjustability ; No Target Display Mode

Apple's best iMac gets even better thanks to a subtle, but noticable improvement in colour support, alongside Intel's latest Skylake processor.

Stunning display ; Great performance in upgraded models ; Runs whisper quiet

Default 7200-rpm hard drive is slower than flash storage ; No USB Type-C ; Plugging stuff in is a hassle

Brilliant 5K Retina Display. Top-notch multimedia performance

User upgrades limited to RAM. Lacks height-adjustment options. No Target Display mode

The 2015 Apple iMac ($1,999 as tested) features a brilliant 5K Retina In-Plane Switching (IPS) display backed by a beefy Intel Core i5 processor and AMD R9 graphics. It's the system to get if you perform a lot of tasks that require insane levels of...

Brilliant 5K Retina Display. Top-notch multimedia performance.

User upgrades limited to RAM. Lacks height-adjustment options. No Target Display mode.

At $1,999, the latest base-model iMac is a $300 discount from the top model. That certainly makes it a good deal if you're willing to forgo the slight speed bump you would get with the Fusion Drive and the slightly faster 3D graphics of the higher...

Truly amazing screen ; Does high-end editing smoothly ; Still a very small footprint

Only 8GB of RAM standard ; Basic GPU may be limiting for some pros ; Price is quite high

The Retina iMac really is a sight to behold, and works beautifully. It'll cost you, but it looks like something special for the money.

Brilliant 27-inch 5K display brings Retina to the iMac. High-end performance for video and photo editing. Fusion Drive comes standard.

Loses the monitor functionality of other iMacs. Upgrades limited to adding RAM. Lacks height adjustment. Rear-mounted ports aren't convenient.

Conclusion It's hard not to get caught up in the rhetoric whenever a new Apple system comes out, but the iMac 27-inch with Retina 5K display silences critics by offering something nobody else has: a potent all-in-one desktop with an unparalleled 5K...

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...
