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

Core i3 has no Turbo Boost
SSD is an expensive option
Neither hard drive is user-accessible
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
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
Largest display among all-in-one desktops; best-in-class productivity and gaming performance; DisplayPort provides home entertainment flexibility; SDXC card slot supports cards up to 2TB in size
Connecting external video devices requires an extra, expensive adapter because it lacks an HDMI port, no Blu-ray drive, runs hot
Apple's new $1,999 iMac comes with a faster CPU and a new graphics card, helping this 27-inch all-in-one desktop stay as competitive in performance as it already was in screen size. Despite the still-frustrating absence of an HDMI port, we have no qua...

Abstract: Apple’s recent refresh of the all-in-one iMac range may not have concurred with all of the preceding rumors, but the main expectation was certainly met: faster processors than ever before. Fresh to the SlashGear test bench is the 27-inch iMac, with the...
True quad-core power. Wireless keyboard/mouse. Mini DisplayPort in/out. Screen has 2,560 by 1,440 resolution. Large display. Green certifications. 802.11a/n 5GHz support.
Still no Blu-ray drive. No eSATA. Card reader is SD/SDHC/SDXC only. Requires third-party adapter for HDMI or DVI.
The Apple iMac 27-inch (Core i5) gives you speedy quad-core power, better 3D graphics, and the same large screen as the previous 27-inch (Core i7) for a couple hundred bucks less. Buy it now...
IPS panels provide wide color gamut and color accuracy, QuadCore processor options available, Bidirectional Mini DisplayPort offers video in capabilities, SSD options let you have two drives installed, 4 SODIMM slots for a total of 16 GB of RAM
Still no Bluray options, Hard drive and SSD are not user serviceable parts, No matte finish display options
LED-backlit display, excellent design and construction, good performance, new processors and graphics cards
No HDMI or Blu-ray, no number pad on included keyboard, glossy display can be distracting
Apple's latest iMac retains an identical design to earlier iMacs but features upgraded internal components. If you've recently purchased an iMac there isn't enough to justify an upgrade, but if you're looking to purchase your first Mac or want to upgrade...
Abstract: Ladies and gentlemen, meet the fastest Mac we’ve ever seen: the 27in 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac, equipped with a solid-state drive (SSD). This built-to-order (BTO) model posted the highest score of any Mac we’ve tested – for now.The 27in 2.93GHz q...
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.
Huge, quality screen and high resolution. SDXC card support. Grunty new GPU. Still the best value all-in-one
No eSATA port. Gloss screen may irritate some

Abstract: There’s little doubt that 2010 is the year of the iPad and iPhone for Apple, with the company largely focusing on the new kids on the block. But the Mac isn’t entirely out of the picture. While the Mac business is a more mature product line than Apple’...
