Abstract: The best all-in-one there is, now in both 4K and 5KLast year's iMac brought the Retina display to Apple's desktop product line in dramatic fashion. The 27-inch 5K screen was a jaw-dropping addition that made the all-in-one impossible to look away from. An...
Stunning, pixel-dense 4K display, Bundled peripherals are now rechargeable, Very good performance for an all-in-one
Hard drive in entry-level model makes for slow bootup, occasional sluggishness
With a pixel-dense 4K display, refined design, and now-rechargeable peripherals, Apple's $1,499 compact iMac is an eye-pleasing, premium computing machine. (As good as it is, just know that the larger-screen 5K model doesn't cost that much more.) Read Mo...
4K Retina display with P3 color gamut, Powerful internals, Small footprint
5,400 rpm HDD is a snail, Price borders on 27inch 5K iMac, Slight backlight bleed at screen periphery
The 4K iMac's main draw is its gorgeous Retina display. For desktop users interested in having the best display around, the 21.5-inch 4k iMac is an easy recommendation with one caveat: it needs the HDD upgrade. An SSD would be preferable, obviously, but...

Superb color rendering with DCI-P3 color space, Fast, powerful machine for most uses, Beautiful design, Wonderfully quiet, cool running, Decent price tag, 9.4 million pixels, El Capitan OS X works great with 4K display
No HDMI connectivity, Uses slightly older Intel processing chip architecture, No discrete Graphics card technology, Storage memory could have been more advanced
While we consider Apple's 5K Retina iMac to be the superior machine overall, the new 4k iMac has plenty going for it and comes at a relatively reasonable price for a piece of Apple technology with such a superb integrated True 4K display. On the whole, i...

Gorgeous Retina screen, Thunderbolt 2 support
Fast flashstorage available as an option, Hampered by slow 5200 rpm hard drive, Discrete GPU available only as configuration option, Uses previous generation Intel chipset
The 5K iMac is an incredible computer, one of the best Macs ever made—but it's also just too much for many people. A 27-inch display can dominate a desk or a room, and though the price tag has come down a lot in the past year, it's still on the pricey...
Apple upgrades the 21.5-inch iMac with a stunning 4K-resolution display, along with faster processors and Thunderbolt 2. The redesigned keyboard, mouse and trackpad all have rechargeable batteries and lightning connectors
The new processors are still one generation behind Intel's latest and there are no discrete graphics options. No HDMI input means it can't double as a TV monitor
The smallest Apple iMac trades up to a 4K display, and jumps to newer, but still not the latest, processors. While the design hasn't changed, newly crafted accessories with rechargeable batteries and Lightning connectors add flair and convenience...

Gorgeous screen with an improved color gamut, Retina scaling modes let you use the 21.5-inch iMac to display as much information as the 27-inch iMac, a nice feature for people without much space, Quad-core Broadwell CPUs aren't the newest on the block but
No dedicated GPU options, and the integrated GPU chugs if you increase the resolution or hook up another 4K display, No user-accessible RAM (or any user-accessible parts, really), No Thunderbolt 3 or USB Type-C, No Target Display Mode, Putting all the por

Bright 4K Retina display, DCI-P3 color gamut, New rechargeable wireless peripherals, Includes Lightning cable,
No discrete graphics option, Base hard drive is only 5,400rpm, Headset jack and SD card slot are on back panel
With a new Retina display, the latest Intel Core I CPU, and faster memory, the latest 21.5-inch Apple iMac is a very attractive option if you're creatively inclined and have limited space and/or funds...
Apple's smallest all-in-one features a great design and fantastic 4K display. Just make sure you upgrade to the Fusion Drive (at the very least) for faster boot and resume times...
