The editors liked
Everything on your screen just looks incredibly sharp and natural
Especially text and elements of the operating system. Content creators will love being able to see more of their work at native resolution
And will benefit from the additional real-estate
The editors didn't like
For viewing video content at normal distances
There isn't a huge difference between the Retina 5K and the previous iMac. The base model doesn't have the power to accommodate heavy production tasks
So prepare to pay more. Annoying that only the RAM is us

The iMac Retina 5K is indeed a stellar display with gobs and gobs of resolution. But the best uses for all that resolution involve working with visual content, not viewing it. Its a computer with a display for editors, designers, and photographers. If yo...
Abstract: We live in a high-resolution world--our phones have been shooting HD video for years, and 4K-capable cameras are finally within reach of regular consumers. And now Apple's new iMac with Retina 5K display will let you push those pixels with maximum efficie...
Abstract: Apple have done it again, they've built something wonderfully beautiful to look and, touch, feel and use, built like a precision instrument and as a work of futuristic art, think Bang and Olufsen without the outrageous prices and design cues – much as the...

Rather pricey when compared to other devices on the market. However, the screen is worth it, Unable to be used as a secondary display screen, Exhaust fan turns on and remains during and after heavy usage
The Apple iMac 5k Retina is a unique device, equipped with a great screen and excellent hardware. The graphics, while not powerful enough to be hard with gaming in 4K, but that is not where a device such as this is primarily intended. It is also unfortuna...

The iMac with 5K display is one incredible piece of tech.It looks the business, is fast and has one of the best screens your eyes will ever see.Apple's new OS Yosemite is also much improved and brings a seamless experience between all your devices.At £2,0...
The iMac with Retina 5K display is obviously in a class of its own, as well it should be at this price. However, the level of performance and ergonomics you get make it a very good value for money option if you can afford it. If you want touch input or to...
Amazing display, high performance across the board, excellent graphics performance, excellent design
Good value for the tech but still expensive in current allinone market, can't be used in Target Display Mode, software required to take full advantage of 5K display
If there was ever a headline waiting to be written it was "Retina iMac more powerful than Mac Pro". But that would be for shock value. The truth is that they offer different strengths to different people, but the Retina iMac is nonetheless a monster of a...

Great design makes for a slim 27-inch screen all-in-one, huge 5K resolution is ideal for video/photo/design work, customisable powerhouse with RAM access to rear
Ports all to rear, not all applications will render resolution optimised, can become expensive as you'll want the RAM for heavyweight tasks, noise when fan kicks in
The iMac with Retina 5K display is a great looking and powerful workhorse machine that, thanks to its super-high resolution, aligns itself with current professional practice and makes the desktop all-in-one relevant again. We're sad to see our revie...

It's certainly not the home computer that it used to be, but the iMac with Retina 5K Display will have designers, photographers and video-editors chomping at the bit. Most of them won't actually need the 5K display and will be able to work perfectly well...
