Apple 27 Imac Desktop Computer Review

[Early 2023] A total step up from my 2020 iMac 27 inch desktop computer. The M2 Pro Mini is easy to set up and compact enough to fit on my desk. It's sleek in design and very fast!

A total step up from my 2020 iMac 27 inch desktop computer. The M2 Pro Mini is easy to set up and compact enough to fit on my desk. It's sleek in design and very fast!

[60 W] With this cord my older external hard drive now works on my iMac desktop 27".

[218 ppi] It was time to replace my 6 year old iMac 27. I kept waiting for a new 27" iMac to be released but it appears that Apple has decided to not make them any longer, instead moving towards Mac Studios. I decided that I just needed to accept that and ordered a new Mac Studio M2 MAX from the Apple Store. Not a review but BH Photo had the Apple Studio Display for $150 less than the Apple Store and using my PayBoo Card I saved on the sales tax, so my savings were over $200.00. I think I made the right decision. This display is fantastic. Bright, sharp, superb 5K Resolution. It's slightly smaller overall the my old iMac (due to not having the computer inside). Exceptional accuracy without any calibration! The sound is also impressive, with its Six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers, so good that I disconnected my old HK SoundSticks/Sub Woofer. The three-mic array is Studio Quality. My home office lighting is very neutral so I didn't need to go for the Nano Glass upgrade, The standard glass is already engineered for extremely low reflectivity. As for the Stand, the Standard Tilt only stand was fine for my needs and it's absurd what Apple want to charge for their Tilt and Height Adjustable Stand. Overall this Apple Studio Display is a major improvement over my aging 27" iMac Retina. Worth a bit of what a spent!!!

[10 ms (GtG)] My 27 2017 iMac needed replacing. Apple no longer makes a 27 iMac so I purchased the new M1 Mac Studio. That meant I needed a new monitor as well. I almost ordered the Mac 27 studio monitor. You know, the same 5K monitor that was on my old iMac. But then I started my research and discovered EIZO had started making a more moderately priced 27 display. For only around $100 or so more money than the Apple screen I now have an incredible, color accurate, 4K EIZO ColorEdge CS2740. I have no regrets at all. It was plug and play from the start. I did a manual calibration with my iStudio gear and marvel at the accuracy. I don't miss the 5K slick screen at all. I bought this monitor because I'm a photographer and color accuracy is important. One caveat; if you need a built in camera and speakers go elsewhere. EIZO is known for color accuracy not Zoom meetings. I have an old Bose computer speaker system that still works and it plugged right in to the Mac Studio. If you need the best color rendition you can get for under $2000, this monitor is a great choice.

[1.2 V] I bought two of these memory kits (for a total of 64 GB) to put in a new iMac 27 inch computer. The computer came with 8 GB (2 x 4 GB), but had four memory slots. The swap was easy, and the performance difference is outstanding!

[Integrated] Ordered this computer to replace a 27” iMac that was dated and running slow. It was a breeze to transfer all my files and all of them worked seamlessly with the new m3 chip. I am amazed at the speed including the start up of this machine. Even though the screen is 3” smaller than my former iMac it is sufficient for the every task. Highly recommend!

[ABS, Aluminum] With Apple releasing its new iMac desktop they decided on NO card reader for us photographers as in previous models. With new thunderbolt connections vs. USB I needed a hub for my external drives as well. One chat with B&H they turned me on to this guy. Works seamlessly.

[256 GB] I recently upgraded my 2017 Mac Desktop with an Apple 24 iMac with M3 Chip (Blue). I am very happy with this model. It runs incredibly smooth and the transfer of all of my data and settings was flawless. I highly recommend this Apple Desktop model.

[Wireless Mouse] My former desktop computer was a 2019 iMac with 8GB of RAM. I wanted to speed things up so decided on the Mac Mini. With 16 GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, the mini would have cost $1,000. With B&H’s sale price of $1150 for the Pro model it only cost $150 more than the upgraded regular model so
