Buying decision

Should you buy it?

The 2020 27-inch iMac runs 10th-gen Intel chips up to a 10-core Core i9, adds a 1080p camera, True Tone, SSDs across the range and an optional nano-texture glass. Reviewers rated it four to four-and-a-half stars; the design is dated and Apple silicon arrived soon after.
