Apple iMac 27-inch – hands-on review

September 9, 2010 By Digital Trends Staff

We go hands-on with Apple’s new and improved all-in-one 27-inch iMac which features a gorgeous display along with new processors and graphics options.

Apple’s new 27-inch iMac features a beautiful LED-backlit IPS display, which takes resolution beyond 1080p all the way up to 2650 x 1440. The next generation also introduces Intel’s high powered Core i3, i5, and i7 processors, and full-power desktop versions of ATI’s Radeon HD graphics cards. The option to add both a solid-state-drive and conventional magnetic drive can drastically improve boot-time and overall performance, while leaving a full terabyte or more for bulk storage.

And considering the only other 2560x1440 27" screen on the market (the Dell Ultrasharp) has a RRP of $1100 for just the monitor, the computer on the back of this all-in-one is actually pretty good value.
