27-inch 5K Retina all-in-one

The 2017 Apple iMac combines a 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with a 5120 x 2880 IPS panel that reaches 43 percent greater brightness and supports one billion colours. AMD Radeon Pro 580 graphics with 8 GB of video memory drive the display and handle creative workloads. 8 GB of DDR4 system memory and a 512 GB SSD provide the baseline configuration for daily tasks.

Suits home-office users and students

This system fits buyers who want a single-cable desktop with a factory-calibrated 5K screen and Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) expansion. It is not for buyers who need more storage, more system memory or a dedicated GPU beyond the Radeon Pro 580. It is also not for users who require a separate monitor or user-upgradeable components.

5120 x 2880 27-inch IPS panel

The Retina 5K resolution is the specification that decides whether this iMac matches the workflow. Editors and designers who rely on pixel-perfect scaling at native resolution gain a direct benefit. Buyers whose applications run adequately at lower resolutions should evaluate whether the panel justifies the cost.

Questions about this item

What desk space does the 27-inch all-in-one chassis require?

The 27-inch Retina 5K display is built into the main unit, so the entire computer sits on the desk as a single piece with the included wired keyboard and mouse.

How is the iMac set up out of the box, and which connection step is often missed?

Plug the power cord into the back of the display, connect the wired keyboard and mouse via USB, then press the power button on the rear; users sometimes forget to seat the power cable fully.

Which components can be upgraded later when more memory or storage is needed?

The 8 GB of DDR4 RAM is accessible through the rear memory hatch, while the 512 GB SSD requires professional service to replace.
