Abstract: Mac vs PC, it's the age-old debate between those that opt to use Apple's macOS Sierra and Microsoft's Windows 10 and with the announcement of Microsoft's Surface Studio, the debate is hotter than ever. We've pitted Apple's and Microsoft's all-in-one PCs a...
The idea of a 5K 27in iMac for less than £1,500 might sound attractive, but we'd advise that you think twice about that model, equipped as it is with a standard (slow) hard drive. Essentially the only difference between that model and the one above it is...
The iMac 5K is a tough all-in-one to beat and with Microsoft going in at even higher price doesn't help. Whether it's worth paying extra for the Surface Studio largely comes down to whether you'll benefit from it's flexible design, touchscreen, the Surfac...

If you only care about performance, buy a desktop PC. If you only care about colour accurary, buy an Eizo ColorEdge monitor and attach it to a desktop PC.If you want performance and colour accuracy that's good enough for most of us – and you also want a s...

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 thr...

Not ideal for gaming
The 27-inch iMac 2015 comes with a brand-new wireless mouse and keyboard, both of which pair with the iMac automatically. The mouse is almost identical to the Magic Mouse, with which we're familiar. It features gesture control and is pretty compact, if a...
Although the 27-inch iMac starts at £1,449, you should at least buy the Fusion Drive for an extra £80 or, better yet, upgrade to the next model, which has the Fusion Drive and faster graphics, and costs £1,599. Given that this is a computer aimed at profe...
I'm going to keep this brief: the Apple 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is great. Really, really great. I love it. I'd totally buy one if I had the money, and my only bugbear – aside from the non-adjustable stand – is the lack of really powerful graph...
