Apple iMac A Grade Desktop Computer 27-inch 3.4GHZ Quad Core i5 MNE92LL/A Silver 2017
The 27-inch 5120-by-2880 Retina 5K display with one billion colors and 43% brighter output remains the defining feature, paired with a Radeon Pro 570 with 4GB VRAM for color-accurate workflows. The 5-mm-thin aluminum unibody design and Thunderbolt 3 connectivity offer a clean, expandable desktop setup despite the aging 7th Gen Intel Core i5 processor. This machine is best for office users and photo editors who prioritize a high-resolution, factory-calibrated screen over raw computing speed.
