The Apple iMac 27in (with Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M) certainly makes a case for itself. Of course, you'll certainly get better performance when you max out the memory and have an SSD on board, as our review model did. If you're a Mac maven who already has...

Although we saw the new iMac 21.5in at the end of 2012, Apple has kept us waiting impatiently for the redesigned iMac 27in. Thankfully, that wait is now over. It's a stunning transformation: where the previous model was a thick slab, the all-new incarnati...

This is the third iMac we've tested in recent times. After the entry-level 21.5-inch Mac ( review ) and the higher-end version of the 27-inch iMac ( review ), we will now take a closer look at an even more advanced version of the 27-inch iMac, equipped...
The £2,179 or € 2,685 version of the 27-inch iMac is a very fast system, and it still of course has the outstanding 27-inch 2560x1440 display. We loved how the Fusion Drive works in MacOS X. It strikes the perfect balance between having a fast SSD and l...

A while ago Apple updated its iMac design, and the 2012 models' main distinction is that they are thinner than their predecessors. We already reviewed the 21.5-inch model, and today it's time for the 27-inch version. It has a resolution of 2560x1440 pix...
