Design

The Apple iMac 2017 Core i5 doesn’t look or feel radically different compared to past iMac models. And, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as this brushed aluminum all-in-one is something to see. However, after a few persisting design choices – not to mention its overall design in the face of new rivals – this gives us a bit of pause. That iMac silhouette is still iconic, however – there’s a reason that it’s become a staple of offices, home and otherwise, in TV and films for years. The iMac’s minimalist yet elegant appearance manages to be both appealing and compact so that it while it’s nice to look at, it also doesn’t get in the way of work. Then, of course, there’s the seemingly laws of physics defying thinness of the iMac, considering exactly how much is packed into the display section of the computer (i.e. literally everything). However, the iMac is competing with Microsoft’s Surface Studio lineup. We can’t, therefore, ignore just how much thinner and more impressive the iMac could be if Apple just leveraged what it’s learned from developing Mac Mini computers toward designing an iMac base that holds all the computer’s guts and ports.

Performance

it’s obvious in the tests that this iMac benefits quite a bit from its 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor over the Surface Studio’s antiquated 6th-generation chip. For example, the Apple iMac shows a more solid single-core performance than the Surface Studio as well as moderately higher multi-core performance in Geekbench. However, the Surface Studio does have a stronger GPU with more memory, which shows in the numbers – the Microsoft all-in-one scores 20fps faster in Cinebench than the iMac, despite the older chip.

Verdict

The iMac 2017 is a refreshing update to Apple’s all-in-one computing platform. For the money – at least for the 21.5-inch model – you’re getting a striking machine that’s more than capable of handling every task you throw at it, whether its web browsing or photo editing. That said, nothing exists (for long) in a vacuum. We can’t disregard the fact that the iMac may have fallen behind the trends of modern all-in-one computers, namely those spearheaded by Microsoft’s Surface Studio. Additionally, we’re not fans of its audio quality and, while the Magic Mouse 2 is a wonderful mouse to use, the fact that it can’t be used while charging is a pain that’s hard to overlook.
