When I watched a trailer for the upcoming film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the 5K display captured so much detail that I could make out small beads of sweat pooling on Leonardo DiCaprio's tanned forehead.

Then again, if Apple had its way we'd all be wearing wireless AirPods. The headphone jack is on the rear instead of the side, making it particularly irredeemable. Those who have a more permanent setup won't have to endure the frustration I felt repositioning the iMac every time I connected an external hard drive. The 2019 iMac has a generous selection of ports but you'll need to turn the all-in-one around or reach behind its wide frame to get to them. Measuring 25.6 x 20.3 x 8 inches and weighing 20.8 pounds, the iMac isn't any larger than its 27-inch competitors, like the Microsoft Surface Studio 2 (25.1 x 17.3 x 8.7 inches, 21 pounds) and the Dell XPS 27 (24.6 x 17 x 3.16 inches, 38.2 pounds). There is, at least, a circular cutout for feeding wires through, and the hinge allows you to tilt the display up and down. While the stand feels sturdy and looks great, it isn't very practical because you still can't adjust the display height. Just below that is a power connector that sits in line with a row of ports on the back-right corner.Īpple still hasn't made any major changes to the iMac's design since slimming it down in 2012.Ī slim, intricately curved stand keeps the 5-millimeter frame hovering a few inches off the desk. Another shiny black Apple logo adorns the rear, above a vent and a small access panel. Underneath the display is a silver metal chin with a centered black Apple logo, while the back has subtle convex curves that give it an elegant pillowy shape. We'll keep crossing our fingers for a redesign that does away with the bezels so there'll be nothing to distract us from the iMac's mesmerizing 5K display. The iMac's 27-inch display is surrounded by thick black bezels that look massive when compared with Apple's newer products, like the iPhone XS and the iPad Pro. Sporting Apple's signature silver aluminum finish, the all-in-one has a simple yet sophisticated design, although I was hoping the iMac would adopt the iMac Pro's snazzy space-gray color variant.
