The editors didn't like
The new processors are still one generation behind Intel's latest and there are no discrete graphics options. No HDMI input means it can't double as a TV monitor
Slow 5
400rpm hard drive as standard
Mouse uncomfortable to use
No post-purchase RAM upgrades
Fusion Drive limits flash to 24GB (down from 128GB)
Depending on your point of view, and which model you're looking at, the 21.5in iMac is either a stroke of minimalist genius or an overpriced poseur. Apple's decision to employ slow HDDs across the range is cynical at best and, given the complete lack of u...
The 21.5in iMac with 4K Retina display might not be as big as the 27in iMac, and it might not have as many pixels as that model, but it finally brings the Retina display on the iMac to around the £1,000 mark, which we think it a great deal - especially si...

Fusion drive not standard, Chunky display bezel
Apple's smallest all-in-one features a great design and fantastic 4K display. Just make sure you upgrade to the Fusion Drive (at the very least) for faster boot and resume times...

If you are still wanting to be bound to the desk and go Apple then the iMac is certainly the way to do it. Going Retina is certainly worth the extra cash with this 21.5-inch model - delivering ultra high-definition 4K without breaking the bank. The...
The 1TB hard disk is more than a little disappointing, as is the fairly significant cost of upgrading to a Fusion Drive and a Magic Trackpad 2, and don't get me started on the placement of those ports, but the cheapest 21.5in iMac is a capable and well-bu...

The smallest Apple iMac trades up to a 4K display, and jumps to newer, but still not the latest, processors. While the design hasn't changed, newly crafted accessories with rechargeable batteries and Lightning connectors add flair and convenience...

Abstract: 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. An...
