Excellent 5K display;Versatile performance and customisable options;Much improved 1080p webcam;Plenty of ports

A refreshed design would have been nice, especially with a slimmer bezel;Keyboard and mouse aren't the best;8GB base RAM feels a little tight

Better storage and RAM options ; Improved graphics ; Vastly improved performance ; Nano-texture glass is revolutionary ; Speakers and webcam are top notch

Outdated design ; No Apple Silicon

Improved internals ; Same price as last year's model ; Can be configured to be very powerful ; Improved webcam is great

Design is getting old ; Just two Thunderbolt ports

The Apple iMac 27-inch (2020) offers some big improvements, specs wise, compared to its predecessor, and looks set to be Apple's best all-in-one yet. The upgrades to the webcam and microphones are especially welcome for anyone working from home....

Unbelievable levels of power ; Quite configurable ; All SSD for top read/write speeds ; Nano-texture glass for anti-reflection will appeal to pros

Design refresh is still needed ; Bigger screen bezel than many competitors ; Price can escalate steeply with options

Although this 2020 model doesn't bring a redesign, it's a welcome performance boost over the 2019 version. It's more 'pro' than ever. For now Apple's near future is still very much Intel-based - and we see no reason to wait out for Apple Silicon just yet.

Superb display ; Solid performance ; Quiet in use ; 1080p camera

Dated design ; No Face ID ; Miserly SSD in entry-level model ; Spec updates can quickly get pricey

Another good iMac. Buy one if you’re again happy with refinement rather than revolution

Powerful ; Slimline ; Improved webcam ; Configurable

Pricey ; Design hasn't changed

Design, build and materials ; The Mac OS and apps ; That eye-popping display

Cost, cost, cost ; Hard/impossible to upgrade later

Apple products divide opinion, and the 27-inch iMac exemplifies the divide between those who resent the brand’s prices, designs, simplifications and restrictions, and those who will willingly pay more to get less. We are not talking about less power...

5K screen’s colours and accuracy ; Design and build quality still sets standards ; Performance is strong and stable

No Face ID or Touch ID ; No backlit keyboard ; The screen doesn’t adjust for height

There’s no reason you shouldn’t consider this if you need to up your work-from-home game, now!

Significantly upgraded performance with razor sharp screen, good connectivity, new T2 processor and relatively well priced. Also Mac OS then.

Comes with far too little memory. Apple charges very well for more memory and more SSD storage, and better graphics performance is not cheap either.

Apple’s latest generation iMac with the classic unibody design has never been a better choice than now. For half the price of an iMac Pro, you get better performance on almost anything you can think of, if you have put in a lot more memory, and...
