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

No Blu-ray drive option No anti-glare screen option Hard drive not user-serviceable Third-generation USB and FireWire not used SSD is very expensive
256GB SSD too small for single-drive use and a very expensive option

This computer's real strength is its gorgeous 2560 x 1400 pixel 24'' display. Like its predecessors, it's missing some important features like extra video inputs or a Blu-ray drive, but now includes one new item: an SD card reader....
Zippy performance from Sandy Bridge quad-core processors, Facetime HD camera, Two Thunderbolt ports, Fastest graphics performance in iMac line, Has the most configuration options

Abysmal keyboard and mouse, No analog 5.1-channel outputs, Blu-ray option, Pricy relative to similarly equipped PCs
Apple sticks with tried-and-true design but cranks speed to maximum with the latest generation of iMacs....
