Summary: We huge fans of Apple design and there is no getting away from the fact that the Apple iMAC 27” is one of the best looking All-In-One desktop PCs on the market today. The aluminium body and smooth lines make it a dream to use as well as simply look at....

Conclusion: The screen of the Apple iMAC 27” is amazing and more than lives up to expectations, but when it comes to performance this is much more a pedestrian affair than we were expecting.

Summary: Apple's iMac is the original and definitive all-in-one computer. It's by far the best-looking and - if you're of a certain mind-set - the most prestigious to own. The model we've looked at is also one of the most expensive for a 21.5in display size.
