You can also configure the iMac by adding nano-texture glass to the screen (for $500/£500/AU$750 more), along with more RAM and up to 8TB of SSD storage – a huge amount and ideal for digital creatives who need large and fast storage for their files.

The Apple iMac 27-inch (2020) went on sale the moment Apple announced it, which means you can order one right now through Apple (opens in new tab), with physical Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Resellers to follow. (Image credit: Future) Price and availability This iMac looks like it could be one of the best all-in-ones for home workers because of its svelte design and powerful innards. Many people who are now working from home may find they need a powerful PC, and an all-in-one is a great choice, as they are easy to set up and don’t take up much space. Overall, Apple has also made some smart changes with the iMac 27-inch (2020), especially to the webcam and microphones, which will really benefit people working from home – and in this current climate, that’s a very wise (and welcome) move. Oh, and Apple has added True Tone as well, which tweaks the screen’s warmth depending on lighting conditions. Otherwise, the screen remains the same as last year, with a 27-inch Retina 5K display with a 5,120 x 2,880 resolution, along with a brightness of 500 nits and support for the wide color P3 gamut, making it a bright and vibrant display that’s ideal for content creators. It’s a shame you need to pay a lot extra to get it, and for many people, Apple’s asking price will be a bit too high. The nano-texture glass gives the iMac 27-inch screen a matte-like quality, but it’s genuinely very impressive. Even with direct sunlight pouring in from an overhead window, we were able to see the screen clearly. This prevents glare and reflections showing on the screen no matter what light conditions you’re working in, and the model Apple sent us to review has it.Īnd, we have to say, it’s excellent. We’re talking about the nano-texture glass finish on the display, which was first introduced in Apple's Pro Display XDR monitor. The only problem is that it’s an optional extra that costs an additional $500/£500/AU$750. However, there’s one aspect of the design that has changed, and it’s a big change at that. Apple’s competitors are starting to get pretty good at making stylish and modern all-in-one devices, and if the Cupertino company doesn’t change its iMac design soon, it could find itself being left behind.
IMAC 27 LATE 2013 USED 512SSD HD 16GB RAM HOW TO
This means while the iMac 2020 is still undeniably a stylish looking device (this is an Apple product after all, and regardless of what you think of the company, you have to admit it knows how to make an attractive product), certain aspects of its design are starting to feel dated – especially the thick bezels around the sides of the screen. However, while we love what Apple has done with the insides of the iMac, things are a little more disappointing on the outside, as Apple has stuck with the same design as previous models – dating back to 2012. The GPU also gets an upgrade, with the AMD Radeon Pro 5000 graphics cards that come with the device offering a big step up from the Radeon Pro Vega 48 GPUs in the previous iMac, and Apple promises up to 55% faster graphics performance. It also handled any benchmark and task we threw at it with ease. During our time with it we found that the iMac 27-inch (2020) was fast to boot up, with macOS running fast and smooth. The leap here isn’t so large that it will make the 2019 model feel obsolete, but with the 10th generation processors (which can be configured up to 10 cores, which is a first for the standard iMac), and SSDs, this is a noticeably faster and more powerful device.
