iMac (27-inch with Retina 5K display, late 2015)by Apple
PROS
- The 27-inch display is absolutely stunning at 5,120 x 2,880 pixels.
- Performance is very good with the new Intel Skylake processor, although it's a modest increase over Haswell.
- The new Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are improved and rechargeable now.
CONS
- The port placement at the back of the iMac is a nuisance and hasn't been addressed. Also, it lacks Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C ports.
- Base models include a performance-killing mechanical hard drive. Nearly every reviewer highly suggests upgrading to either Apple's Fusion drive or an SSD.
- The integrated graphics performance is just average.

One dead neat feature is that the iMac with Retina 27in, like a laptop or phone, has an ambient light sensor that lets it dim down the backlight when you turn the lights off.
If I have one minor complaint it’s that the screen doesn’t have any height adjustment: you can only tilt it.

Find the prettiest, most astonishingly handsome monitor you can. Take your time, I’ll wait. Done? Ah, well, sorry to waste your time – the iMac is substantially prettier.
