The 2015 27in 5K iMacs jump from Haswell to Skylake - which is two CPU generations, they also move up one GPU generation, and the storage bandwidth is twice as much. In addition, the display quality is better than ever and you can buy 64GB of third-party...
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...

There's no two ways around it, the iMac's Retina 5K display has a lot of pixels. Let's do the maths: the 5,120 x 2,880 resolution means that there are 14.7 million of them. If you counted every single one, one every second, it'd take you 170 days non-stop...

Apple introduced the world to a 5K-resolution version of the 27-inch iMac last year and, well, it was an absolutely fantastic workhorse that not only looked the part, but performed it too. For 2015, the Cupertino company has not only made the 5,120 x 2,8...

It might not have gained as many plaudits as the iPhone 6S , but last year's 5K 27-inch iMac was a revelation. While it looked identical to its predecessor, the pin-sharp screen was an enormous improvement. In 2015, Apple brought the Retina-quality displa...

The 5,120x2,880 resolution is just as amazing today as it was when I first set eyes on it. As well as making everything exceptionally sharp, there’s enough resolution to comfortably use two applications side-by-side, or to even edit a 4K video while leavi...

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...
