With every 5k iMac purchase, you'll get the Magic Keyboard and Mouse 2.

Image 4 of 8 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display (2017) review: Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 Even so, this is one computer that I’d proudly have out on display. If I have one minor complaint it’s that the screen doesn’t have any height adjustment: you can only tilt it. The full metal body and stand give it that distinctive Apple look while reassuring you that it’s an expensive and rugged computer.

These cost an extra £90, £270 and £630 respectively, which makes the Fusion Drives the better-value option by far. If you want the best performance, you’ll need to upgrade to an SSD-only model: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB options are available. The performance is quick, with the Fusion Drive clocking 927MB/sec read speeds and write speeds of 130MB/sec in Xbench. As you start to fill up your Mac, the flash storage will fill up quite quickly, so it might be worth upgrading to the 2TB Fusion Drive (an additional £180), which comes with 128GB of flash storage. This combines 32GB of fast flash storage with a regular hard disk: your most commonly used files and apps are stored in flash, while the hard disk gives you plenty of capacity.Īnd it works well, with my test Mac booting quickly and feeling as responsive as a computer with only flash in it. Unlike the 2015 entry model, which shipped with a 1TB 7,200rpm hard disk, the 2017 model comes with a 1TB Fusion Drive as standard, something that was a must-have upgrade in the older model. 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display (2017) review: Storage
