The latest 27in iMac is a stylish, compact and quiet computer with a superb quality screen. Considering its price, we wish it had faster performance in both applications and games though. ...
SSD is very fast Excellent processor Great new GPU Faster onboard memory Gorgeous screen
No Blu-ray drive option No anti-glare screen option Hard drive not user-serviceable Third-generation USB and FireWire not used SSD is very expensive
Apple's mid-2010 refresh of its popular iMac range offered an interesting new customisation option for the high-end, 27-inch machines. If you buy online through Apple's online store, you can opt for a 256GB solid state drive instead of – or even as wel...
Blistering SSD performance; SSD can now be fitted alongside hard drive; bright, vibrant IPS screen
256GB SSD too small for single-drive use and a very expensive option
The SSD-equipped price is not to be sniffed at, but the performance of the 27in iMac in this quad-core configuration is extremely impressive. It's also a more compact, yet just-as-capable, option as the entry-level Mac Pro, and cheaper too if you fact...
Nice screen, well calibrated, Nice look and finish, Satisfying across the board performance, Quiet, Compact, absence of cords
Limited and inaccessible connectivity, No BluRay player, Glossy screen subject to reflections
Without revolutionising the all-in-one concept, this iMac 27-inch is convincing all the same and has all the elements needed to make it a recipe for success. It does however lack some seasoning. We would have liked to see richer and more accessible con...

Though the SSD-equipped 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac is impressive, we suspect that it won’t hold the title of World’s Fastest Mac for very long. Two new Mac Pros (the £1,999 quad core 2.8GHz Xeon model and the £2,799 eight core 2.4GHz Xeon model) just arrived in the lab...
The new Core i3 processor, Excellent graphics upgrade, Gorgeous screen, SD card reader upgraded to SDXC, SSD as sole or second drive option
No Blu-ray drive option, No anti-glare screen option, Hard drive not user-serviceable, Third-generation USB and FireWire not used, Core i3 has no Turbo Boost
£1400 might seem a horrendous amount to pay for an all-in-one computer, but this new mid-2010 iMac – the cheaper of the two 27-inch models – gives you a lot of computer for your cash. Although it has the same form factor as the 27-inch iMacs from the p...
New Core-i series processors, Graphical capabilities have taken a step up, Quality components are used throughout, Top-quality webcam, Fantastic screen, Quality keyboard and mouse
No antiglare screen, No Blu-ray drive, The Core i3 processor has no Turbo Boost, We'd like a second hard drive port
The mid-2010 refresh sees the iMac retain its position as the best currently-available all-in-one computer. It's expensive, but you're getting a lot of Mac for your mone
