The upgrade to Sandy Bridge for the iMac has had some very impressive effects in terms of the power available for everyday work. We’d happily keep an iMac on our desk, but we can see one minor downside: If you buy an iMac and want another monitor, you’ll want to buy a Cinema Display to match the design - and they’re not cheap. We don’t have any complaints about the design at all - it’s minimalist and looks excellent. The recent Apple iMac refresh is almost all internal - the only external changes on our 27in test model compared to the last generation iMac are the two Thunderbolt ports (an identical shape to the previous MiniDisplay Port, but with a different symbol above them). You can also order both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad together, for an extra $99. We think this is a move by Apple to get more users ready for OS X Lion, which brings a lot of the gestures found in iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad to the Mac desktop. Both the Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse are touch sensitive and have support for multitouch gestures. You can also opt for an Apple Magic Trackpad when you order a new iMac from the online Apple Store - we would, but that’s because we’re navigating OS X with a trackpad.
