Everything on your screen just looks incredibly sharp and natural

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

Abstract: When Apple announced a new iMac last week, I wondered how such a machine could be improved – a common thought with many of today's technology products – not least Apple devices. As it turns out, like many upgrades, the iMac is improved not in its physical...

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....
Abstract: The iMac's screen is bright from edge to edge, and shows great colour saturation even when looking at it from an angle. Other displays with this kind of resolution depend on two timing controllers, or TCONs – think of a TCON like the brains of the display...

Truly amazing screen, Does highend editing smoothly, Still a very small footprint
Only 8GB of RAM standard, Basic GPU may be limiting for some pros, Price is quite high
On the outside, the Retina iMac remains essentially identical to the regular 27-inch iMac. It makes it kind of an astonishing thing to have on you desk in one tidy package. Apple's best desktop yet? Probably. Surely, even. But we wouldn't be surprised if...
Abstract: To suggest that this particular iMac is all about the display isn't overstating anything. A quick glance at the spec sheet reveals that the components inside are largely the same as the non-5K model Apple released last year. One key difference is the AMD ...

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 sharp edges, is nothing if not tempting.T...
