With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 2TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.
After 1 year of researching, I finally purchased the 27 inch, 2 tb, iMac. I capitalized on the 400 dollars off from a price match. Priority of why I purchased this iMac, 1) large clear screen to enjoy and use for photo/video editing... Web surfing too! 2) large SSD to augment the 2 tb disk drive (fusion). I did not want to get the smaller, anemic SSD with the 1tb fusion drive and regret it later. I'm sure it is a good system though. 3) large 2tb drive for storage in the future. 4) good graphics card to work with video and photography editing. I have installed MS office. This purchase fully transitioins me from Windows to Mac. I have the iphone, and the iPad for portability. Now I have a powerful computer to use at home when I need to spend some time getting a lot of work done. I have everything I need. I'm very, very happy I finally made the jump to a Mac. Good bye Windows. Hello Simple! JV
