Strong dual-core and multitasking performance for its price; upgraded graphics chip handles most Mac games with ease; SDXC card slot supports higher-capacity cards than older iMacs; best-looking all-in-one on the market.
No HDMI input; no Blu-ray; native quad-core CPUs better at multithreaded applications; small screen size for its price; runs hot.
Abstract: It's the same with computers. My first computer, an Amstrad word processor, took about five minutes to boot up. And if you tried to save a long document, you were looking at another five minutes of churning and grinding. So when Apple announced lately th...
For close-up daily work, we found the size and resolution of this 21.5in full-HD screen to be a comfortable fit. Designers and those looking for large-screen entertainment are better served by the 27in iMac. Formidable attention to detail in design an...
Design, relatively powerful, wireless keyboard and mouse included, excellent screen
Still no Blu-ray option, connections can be inconvenient around the back
For the average user who wants to indulge in a little multimedia consumption and get on with a range of typical office tasks, the iMac makes a great choiceKey specs3.5mm jack, Bluetooth, Ethernet, FireWire, SD, SDHC, USB, Wi-Fi...
Rather paltry connectivity, Reaching ports on the back of the iMac is a hassle
We found the port selection and placement a little irksome, but this 21.5-inch Apple iMac, complete with 3.06GHz Core i3 processor, is a beautifully crafted machine. It offers solid performance and a bright, vivid display....
Good range of connectivity options, Superior operating system, Elegant design
Downward-facing speakers, Ergonomics could be better, Hard to access inputs
In a similar vein, the graphics options of the iMac have received a boost. The entry-level system's 256MB ATI Radeon HD 4670 isn't going to be running StarCraft II at its highest quality, but it'll happily play run any Steam game available for the Mac, Wo...
Nice screen, well calibrated, Nice look and finish, Satisfying across the board performance, Quiet, Compact, absence of cords
Limited and inaccessible connectivity, No BluRay player, Glossy screen subject to reflections
Without revolutionising the all-in-one concept, this iMac 21.5-inch is convincing all the same and has all the elements needed to make it a recipe for success. It does however lack some seasoning. We would have liked to see richer and more accessible c...
Core i3 processor Great new ATI graphics Gorgeous screen SDXC compatibility An object of desire
Why no Blu-ray drive? Why no anti-glare screen option? Didnít get third-generation USB and FireWire Core i3 has no Turbo Boost Hard drive a little small
The mid-2010 refresh of Apple's iMac range is more radical than it looks. Although they have the same form factor as their immediate predecessors, under-the-hood component upgrades take the respected all-in-one desktop range to a new level. As before, ...
The weakness in the iMac range really lies in the models that aren’t available – I still miss the discontinued 24in model, while the lack of a more affordable machine in the £700-£800 range seems to suggest that Apple is simply turning its nose up at ...
