The 27in screen has a huge 2,560x1,440 pixels. This is roughly equivalent to four 13.3in MacBook displays stuck together. The screen has a glass finish that reflects light from overhead sources, causing distracting glare. It's very bright, though - alm...

If we could, we'd take points away from this iMac simply because by giving it a 27-inch display Apple threatens our livelihood. You don't need our input to simply walk past the 27-inch iMac on a store shelf and recognise that it's the largest all-in-on...

Featuring bigger and better screens and shiny new mice, the physical changes to the aluminium iMac in this update are the most dramatic since it was introduced over two years ago, but the speed improvements are marginal at best. The new iMacs are curre...

Impressive image quality from display and any angle; mini DisplayPort has video-in support; improved speaker system; new SD card slot.
No significant performance increase over previous top-of-the-line model; Glare and reflections from screen may frustrate some users; FireWire 400 peripherals require an adapter; Apple Remote not included.

What’s intriguing about the new iMacs is that they all use the same 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB of shared Level 2 cache and 4GB of RAM. If you think that the new iMacs would post similar benchmark...
