Buying decision

Should you buy it?

The 2019 27-inch iMac moved to 9th-gen Intel chips with up to eight cores, a big jump over 2017, and kept its excellent 5K display. Reviewers rated it four to four-and-a-half stars; the base Fusion Drive is slow and the 720p camera dated.

Best for

Creatives who want a large 5K screen.

Not for
