So, the 27-inch iMac is too big, you don't want a MacBook and the Mac mini doesn't quite hit the spot. The 21.5-inch iMac could be just what you've been looking for. Following in the much larger footsteps of its king-sized cousin, the baby iMac of the fam...
Depending on your point of view, and which model you're looking at, the 21.5in iMac is either a stroke of minimalist genius or an overpriced poseur. Apple's decision to employ slow HDDs across the range is cynical at best and, given the complete lack of u...

The 21.5in iMac has finally gained a Retina display. It's a 4K display, as opposed to the 5K display that the 27in Retina iMac gained in 2014. The 21.5in Macs hadn't been updated since 2013 so this update was long overdue.Apple has finally updated its ran...
The 21.5in iMac with 4K Retina display might not be as big as the 27in iMac, and it might not have as many pixels as that model, but it finally brings the Retina display on the iMac to around the £1,000 mark, which we think it a great deal - especially si...

Apple's 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs received the computing equivalent of liposuction toward the end of 2012, shedding chunks from their aluminium frames. The next big upgrade arrived toward the end of 2014 when the larger of the two was upgraded to an eye-cat...

With the 4K 21.5-inch iMac and the 5K 27-inch iMac before it, Apple has made 4K technology a compelling feature for next generation computer displays and all-in-one PCs in a way that many TV manufacturers have failed to so for high-end 4K TV sets.A 4K Dis...

When Apple introduced Retina displays on the iPhone 4 and iPad 3, those sharp screens made older models feel instantly outdated. Launched in late 2014, the first Mac with Retina 5K display had a similar effect. Featuring a display stuffed full of pixels...

Last year's 5K Retina iMac was the first big refresh in a product line that hasn't really changed since Apple slimmed it down at the of 2012. Unsurprisingly, a high resolution screen warrants an appropriately high price point, putting the 5K iMac well int...

4K screens of varying quality have been slowly making their way into laptops, but they've been surprisingly absent from all-in-one desktop computers. The new 21.5in Apple iMac is the first that we know of to come with a 4K monitor which isn't a surprise g...

A new iMac range is here to woo you into staying with the desktop in 2015 rather than going mobile. With new processors, new displays, and new graphics options there is plenty to be tempted by. We've been using the new 21.5-inch model with 4K display to...

For £899 you get a fabulous-looking, wafer thin aluminium chassis, complete with sharp corners, tapering backside and robust stand. The current design is practically unchanged from when it first appeared in 2012, which itself is a mere evolution of the or...
The 1TB hard disk is more than a little disappointing, as is the fairly significant cost of upgrading to a Fusion Drive and a Magic Trackpad 2, and don't get me started on the placement of those ports, but the cheapest 21.5in iMac is a capable and well-bu...

The Mac is a small fraction of Apple's total business, and of that, roughly three-quarters of the Macs sold are laptops. Apple could probably be forgiven if it put the entire iMac line into maintenance mode: after all, sometimes it seems like that's what...
The 5K iMac is an incredible computer, one of the best Macs ever made—but it's also just too much for many people. A 27-inch display can dominate a desk or a room, and though the price tag has come down a lot in the past year, it's still on the pricey...
