Apple iMac 27-inch 5K 4.2 GHz i7 8 GB 1 TB HDD Radeon Pro 580 (Mid 2017)

27-inch 5K all-in-one desktop

The Apple iMac Mid 2017 delivers a 27-inch Retina 5K display at 5120 x 2880 resolution in a silver all-in-one chassis. It ships with macOS 10.13 High Sierra and includes a USB keyboard and optical mouse. The system targets home and office users who want an integrated screen and computer without separate components.

1 TB hard drive and 8 GB DDR4 memory

The 1 TB mechanical hard drive stores large media libraries and project files, though load times lag behind solid-state alternatives. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 memory handles everyday multitasking and light creative work, but heavy video editing or virtual machines will exhaust the available RAM. The Radeon Pro 580 graphics processor with 8 GB VRAM accelerates supported workflows within these constraints.

Thunderbolt and USB 3 connectivity limits

Two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3 ports provide peripheral expansion for external storage, displays and accessories. The Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n Wi-Fi connection caps wired and wireless throughput at those standards. An SDXC card slot accepts memory cards directly, while the optional Mini DisplayPort output requires adapters for HDMI, DVI or VGA monitors.
