Engadget‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The iMac line has long been a pinnacle of refined and elegant desktop computing, and nothing about that has changed with the new models. What has changed is that the low-end model now offers great performance at an extremely competitive price: the not-yet-shipping HP 200xt runs around $1,100 similarly configured, the Lenovo A700 offers a slightly bigger 23-inch screen with touch support but a slower 2.26GHz i3 and far worse integrated graphics for around $1,100 once you add in the wireless peripherals, and the Sony VAIO J clocks in at $1,100 with a touchscreen and the same slower processor and integrated graphics as the Lenny but adds a Blu-ray drive to the mix.

For close-up daily work, we found the size and resolution of this 21.5in full-HD screen to be a comfortable fit. Designers and those looking for large-screen entertainment are better served by the 27in iMac. Formidable attention to detail in design and construction puts the iMac clear of any imitators, while overall performance is plenty fast providing you don’t plan to try much gaming.

Priced at £999, we can’t help feeling that the price isn’t that bad. Yes, you can get Windows 7 AIO computers with a higher spec at that price, but the Apple iMac wins hands down when it comes to looking good. This is the sort of computer that you can put in any home, office or study room and it lwill fit in. It looks good from every angle, and unlike the 27-inch model, the size makes it convenient to place just about anywhere.

The iMac isn’t a cheap system, but you certainly get what you pay for. The updates the latest refresh has added aren’t groundbreaking and the continued lack of Blu-ray is something of an annoyance but we can forgive the latter and on most other fronts the iMac was already the best all-in-one system you could buy. Now it still is; but it’s a little bit better than before.

At a quid shy of a thousand pounds, the entry-level iMac isn't cheap – but given the quality of the components and performance, it isn't outrageously expensive either. The mid-2010 refresh is more than an incremental upgrade. Despite retaining the previous generation's form factor, the new Core i-series processors and great new graphics capabilities take the iMac a significant step forwards. Even this, the cheapest entry-level model, offers an excellent performance. It's a great multimedia machine, a credible (if imperfect) gaming rig and a superb all-round home computer. Only Apple's insane refusal to offer a Blu-ray drive and a few omissions like USB 3.0 and an anti-glare screen keep it from near-perfection.

If you’re looking for a compact and stylish desktop machine then the new iMac will fit the bill very nicely. The 24in, mid-range model reviewed here is certainly the most powerful iMac we’ve ever seen. But nobody buys a Mac just because they want an extra few MHz here or there. We can’t help remembering that the original iMac was a low-cost machine with an exciting design that sold like hot cakes and rescued Apple from oblivion in the process.

The iMac continues to be an attractive all-in-one computer for the family, home offices, and business. If you’re looking for a new Mac or you’re thinking about upgrading a desktop Mac that’s at least a couple of years old, you’ll be satisfied with the features and performance, as long as you’re willing to deal with the glossy display. If you bought a late-2009 iMac, the reasons to upgrade aren’t very compelling, unless you have the previous $1199 iMac with the integrated graphics and you want better graphics performance for games.

The Apple iMac 21.5-inch (Core i3) is the system that can convert your friend/relative/significant other into a Mac-faithful. It has a great design, stellar performance, and a pretty kickass price. For all these reasons and more, the Apple iMac 21.5-inch regains the Editors' Choice for midpriced all-in-one desktops.

The 2010 revision of the iMac, with a slate of new, more powerful components, continues to be the all-in-one desktop computer to beat.

While the 20-inch iMac is an attractive model for the price, spend the extra $300 for the 24-inch 2.66GHz iMac. You’ll get more RAM, twice the storage capacity, and better performance than the 20-inch iMac. The 3.06GHz iMac is the one to get if you want the best graphics performance.

Overall, there isn’t much of a performance difference between the Early 2009 iMacs and these new machines. The Late 2009 iMacs are really about the new displays - and the displays are impressive. The screens in the 21.5-inch iMacs are a welcomed change over the 20-inch, 6-bit displays, and the IPS technology in the new iMacs preserves the image quality at any viewing angle.

Apple's flagship iMac comes in a variety of flavours and two sizes, with the £1,349 model we've been using being the sweet spot. It offers the most value for the price and could spur desktop sales. In recent years, more and more Mac buyers have opted for Apple's popular line of laptops. Desktops, in some ways, have fallen out of favour, given the prevalence of wireless connections and the public's desire for mobility. However, if performance is your top priority save up for the new £1,599 quad-core, 27-inch Intel i5-based iMac or £1,759 i7-based iMac.

The Apple iMac 24-inch (GeForce GT 130), the company's new top-of-the-line iMac, is a moderate refresh. The new Nvidia motherboard chipset and discrete graphics give it a leg up on the previous high-end model, and CTO (configure to order) options give it the flexibility to serve all but the most specialized content creators.

Apple moves closer to the sweet spot with the iMac (Nvidia GeForce 9400M). This new all-in-one gives you the screen real estate you crave, along with strong multimedia capabilities, and the covetable Apple design, all for a reasonable price.

Overall, the latest 24-inch iMac is another winner. It looks good, performs well and would be a welcome addition to any Mac fan's desktop.

A gorgeous screen, and plenty of power, but the rest is as basic as a nettop.

The Apple iMac 21.5-inch (Core 2 Duo), the "baby brother" to the 27-inch iMac, is $500 less expensive, yet has much of same power. It slots easily into the niche between the cheap nettops and the expensive HDTV-replacement PCs: It's the all in one multimedia PC to buy if you need performance more than fancy features like touchscreens and HDTV inputs.
