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. It's a computer with a display for editors, designers, and photographers. If yo...
World's first 5K display, Stunningly sharp and detailed images, Powerfully equipped, Super thin and stylish design
Games crash or are unstable at 5K resolution – for now, Not the best graphics chip, Stutters when scrolling through Web pages, Mouse and keyboard need updates
The iMac with Retina Display has the best display we've ever laid eyes on. It's also powerful as hell across the board, and stands on its on (for the time being, anyway). The absence of 5K content leaves us wondering what need this display fills, however...

The new 27-inch Apple iMac adds a stunning 5K display for not much more than last year's high-end model. The design, while not updated, remains the gold standard for all-in-one desktops
Except for the new screen and a different GPU, the components are essentially unchanged from last year's version. The high starting price only gets you a mid-level Core i5 processor
Apple skips 4K and goes directly to what the company calls a 5K display in this expensive, extravagant all-in-one iMac desktop that will appeal to photo and video professionals -- or anyone else looking for the best possible screen resolution....
Still a great design, Incredible 5K Retina screen, Solid performance with Skylake chipset and discrete GPU, Rechargable keyboard an improvement
Not ideal for gaming
The iMac is still a winner in terms of design, but there's only one real talking point with this desktop, and that's the 5K screen. It's hugely impressive, even at first glance, and will make graphic designers, video editors and camera buffs froth at t...

Abstract: In Cupertino today, Apple presented the products it's hoping we'll splash out on this Christmas. In what is likely to be the company's last big presentation this year, CEO Tim Cook revealed two new iPads and a new iMac with a remarkably high-resolution sc...

The early verdict Open Gallery It's impossible not to be impressed once you've laid eyes on the Retina Display iMac's visage. The screen appears to be just as good as its specs suggest, and the overall package, with its smooth tapering back and s...
We'll wait to see what Apple launches before giving your our verdict - but we expect that the new iMac with it's retina display will make a big impact...
