The editors liked

  • Apple upgrades the 21.5-inch iMac with a stunning 4K-resolution display

  • Amazing 4K display
  • New accessories are great
  • Slick design

The editors didn't like

  • The new processors are still one generation behind Intel's latest and there are no discrete graphics options. No HDMI input means it can't double as a TV monitor
  • 5400RPM HDD is unacceptably slow
  • Last generation processor
  • No dedicated GPU
  • Fusion drive not standard
  • Chunky display bezel

  • Gorgeous screen with an improved color gamut, Retina scaling modes let you use the 21.5-inch iMac to display as much information as the 27-inch iMac, a nice feature for people without much space, Quad-core Broadwell CPUs aren't the newest on the block but
  • No dedicated GPU options, and the integrated GPU chugs if you increase the resolution or hook up another 4K display, No user-accessible RAM (or any user-accessible parts, really), No Thunderbolt 3 or USB Type-C, No Target Display Mode, Putting all the por

  • Bright 4K Retina display, DCI-P3 color gamut, New rechargeable wireless peripherals, Includes Lightning cable,
  • No discrete graphics option, Base hard drive is only 5,400rpm, Headset jack and SD card slot are on back panel
  • With a new Retina display, the latest Intel Core I CPU, and faster memory, the latest 21.5-inch Apple iMac is a very attractive option if you're creatively inclined and have limited space and/or funds...

  • High resolution, high quality screen, Quiet, Easy tilt and swivel stand
  • Not easily upgradeable or serviceable, No SSD or hybrid drive as standard
  • The 4K screen looks superb, although one too many compromises have been made for the sake of the slender casing...

  • Depending on your point of view, and which model you're looking at, the 21.5in iMac is either a stroke of minimalist genius or an overpriced poseur. Apple's decision to employ slow HDDs across the range is cynical at best and, given the complete lack of u...

  • The 21.5in iMac with 4K Retina display might not be as big as the 27in iMac, and it might not have as many pixels as that model, but it finally brings the Retina display on the iMac to around the £1,000 mark, which we think it a great deal - especially si...

  • Display, Design, Speakers, Accessories
  • Fusion drive not standard, Chunky display bezel
  • Apple's smallest all-in-one features a great design and fantastic 4K display. Just make sure you upgrade to the Fusion Drive (at the very least) for faster boot and resume times...

  • Display, Peformance, Sound, Accessories
  • Core i7 costs extra, No height adjustability, No Target Display Mode
  • Apple's best iMac gets even better thanks to a subtle, but noticable improvement in colour support, alongside Intel's latest Skylake processor...

  • 4K screen resolution in top-end model looks great, new keyboard, faster performance than predecessor
  • Slow 5,400rpm hard drive as standard, mouse uncomfortable to use, no post-purchase RAM upgrades, Fusion Drive limits flash to 24GB (down from 128GB)
  • If you are still wanting to be bound to the desk and go Apple then the iMac is certainly the way to do it. Going Retina is certainly worth the extra cash with this 21.5-inch model - delivering ultra high-definition 4K without breaking the bank. The...

  Published: 2015-10-22, Author: Michael , review by: expertreviews.co.uk

  • The 1TB hard disk is more than a little disappointing, as is the fairly significant cost of upgrading to a Fusion Drive and a Magic Trackpad 2, and don't get me started on the placement of those ports, but the cheapest 21.5in iMac is a capable and well-bu...
