First impressions and reviews can differ, and that's why it's quite useful to know what you think about the company's new devices Apple think the editors of the leading media. These media also received the new iMac s Retina display that can be placed next to the iPad Air 2 to be considered two completely new products, since, let's face it, Apple with the new iPad mini and Mac mini he didn't pull too much. World media opinion on iMac s Retina display is such that this computer shouldn't be missing from your desk if you have the money and want a high-end Mac.
The target category for the new iMac seems to be professional filmmakers and photographers who use Macs to edit and create videos and photos. The 5K resolution seems to be very useful here, but this display can also be used by people who want to watch 4K movies and videos on their Mac. Among other things, the reviews praise the resolution of the display because, in addition to being able to display 4K in full size, there is still enough space on the screen for editing tools.
Wall Street Journal: “Who needs a desktop in a world of laptops, tablets and phones with similar capabilities? This is exactly what I was saying to myself, well Apple introduced a new iMac last week that changed my mind. iMac with Retina display changes the rules of the game for creative people. My biggest concern was that the computer would have problems with smoothness when working with so many millions of pixels. But performance wasn't a problem when I tried opening huge images in Photoshop, going through a bunch of previews in Lightroom, or editing 4K video in Final Cut Pro. At $2,500, you don't need this new iMac - the standard 27″ iMac is $700 cheaper. But you will want him.'
CNET: “The new 27-inch iMac offers a stunning 5K display for practically the same price as last year's high-end model. Design, though Apple has not changed in any way, it remains the gold standard in the world of all-in-one desktops. The downside, however, is that if we don't count the new display and a different graphics card, the hardware has remained virtually unchanged from last year's model. For the high price, you only get a mid-range processor, Intel Core i5.”
PCmag: "Retina The 5K display isn't just good, it's stunning. I filled the new iMac with some 4K nature videos. Even the smallest stars in the night sky were rendered as tiny bits of light; crevices in stones and wood were shown in detail. I also tried watching House of Cards in 4K resolution, and when I saw every pore on Kevin Spacey's face, it was as if I had just met the actor in person. The presence of the AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics card means that the iMac is not only capable of working with 5K video, but it will also be able to play games on it, although apparently none today support 4K resolution. While the iMac isn't a gaming machine, when using it you'll find that it will be able to run current AAA titles at the expected frames per second, even if you have to play at less than Full HD and at lower details. An unrivaled display compared to solid high-end performance and a surprisingly low price make it an Editors' Tip in the area of high-end all-in-one desktop.
I'm not a photographer or a filmmaker, but I'd still like one. :-)

You are not alone…:).
Just like me apple last year took my breath away with mac pro, something similar is happening this year. They are a bunch of jerks who often think about profit, but sometimes they succeed. Although I am not a supporter of all-in-one devices, I think I will go for it.oneI will definitely go.
These are not reviews, but contributions from the media on the payroll. applu – I'm not saying that the iMac 5K doesn't deserve praise...

And so it is. Recently, a great article was published by a competitor, where it is nicely described behind the scenes. I'm rather curious about the comments from end users of iMac Retina, nothing there Apple will not affect. Although..

I'm looking forward to going to see it... I have MacBook Retina 2012 and the display is simply great for photos from a DSLR camera, etc. ... I won't buy it, what I have now is enough, but I'm still looking forward to at least seeing that piece of equipment :o)
Lukas31:
exactly, Retina display it's really great and it's very addictive. I have MacBook Pro connecting to a Thunderbold display and I'm a little annoyed by it, as I'm used to Retina and TB display is not. When they introduced the iMac Retina, I was excited that a new TB display would definitely come Retina and unfortunately it's a big disappointment that it's not. :-(
