The iMac certainly makes a good first impression. The aluminium chassis looks fantastic and has a definite premium feel to it. The system is well built and should stand up to normal levels of classroom use. Apple's Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are includ...

For as long as we can remember, Windows and Mac fans have locked horns over which platform is better. They use the same components under the bonnet, with the real difference found in the OS. If you’ve never tried the iMac’s native OS X 10.7 Lion, we th...
Apple’s iMac eschews USB 3.0 for the faster Thunderbolt connection, a large, so-so-quality screen for a smaller but far more beautiful IPS panel, a touchscreen for a touchpad, and Windows for OS X. It’s Apple’s low-end model, but it still packs a might...

Apple's iMac is the original and definitive all-in-one computer. It's by far the best-looking and - if you're of a certain mind-set - the most prestigious to own. The model we've looked at is also one of the most expensive for a 21.5in display size. A...
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...

Apple's 27-inch iMacs stand out largely because they offer bigger displays than any other all-in-one. The newly updated 21.5-inch iMac has always had a harder time persuading buyers thanks to the glut of 23-inch Windows-based all-in-ones in the sam...

It’s been less than a year since Apple’s last iMac refresh, but thanks to Intel’s 2011 Sandy Bridge update the aluminum all-in-ones had been looking a little last-gen. That all changed this past week, with a quad-core refresh across the board and a new...
Like an all-in-one, PC or Mac, the iMac has limitations around upgradability. Swapping out the RAM, hard-drive and optical drive are possible, if you don’t mind removing the LCD, but while the CPU and GPU can theoretically be changed, it’s a process t...
