Newest Apple iMac 27 inch desktop

Despite its beefy built-in electronics, the iMac is one of the quietest computers you’ll never hear. Even with a DVD in the drive, the faint hum of the fans is drowned out by the sound of typing. Shame there’s no Blu-ray option though.

The smooth aluminium body is still only 1.5 inch thick and the dictionary definition of elegance. It’s still not height-adjustable , but in every other respect it’s perfect. It’s even regained the SD card slot it lost when it first went metal.

The 27 inch panel is vibrant and the LED backlight is blindingly bright. Viewing angles are amazing, you can read text even when standing side-on . The switch to a 16:9 ratio makes sense too.

Behind that display you have the option of a 3.06GHz dual-core processor or one of Intel’s latest quad-cores. The AMD graphics chip is a step up from before, though it isn’t enough to drive newer games at the monstrous native resolution of the screen. A thing of great beauty with a lustrous display and enough power for serious work, but the mouse isn’t quite “magic.”
