HP OmniStudio 27 All-in-One vs Apple iMac 24-inch (M6)

The iMac 24-inch (M6) is the better computer: a 4.5K Retina screen, Apple silicon efficiency, a stable aluminum stand and macOS. The OmniStudio 27 gives you a bigger 27-inch panel and a cheaper way into a Windows all-in-one, but its 1080p resolution looks coarse at that size and owners report a flimsy stand. Buy the iMac for creative work, a sharp display and long service life; buy the HP if you need Windows, a larger screen and easy in-unit upgrades.

• Choose the HP OmniStudio 27 if you need Windows, want the largest screen for spreadsheets and multitasking, and prefer a machine you can open and service yourself.
• Choose the Apple iMac 24-inch (M6) if screen quality, quiet efficiency and a stable, well-built all-in-one matter more to you than screen size.
