Our take on the Apple 27" iMac with Retina 5K Display

The 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K is an all-in-one desktop with a 5120 x 2880 screen, an 8-core Intel CPU, AMD graphics and a 512 GB SSD. Its 5K panel remains one of the sharpest displays you can get on a desktop, and the all-in-one build keeps the desk clean. The 8 GB of RAM is the weak point for heavy multitasking. At $999 at Macpro-la as of November 6, 2026, it sits well below what this model sold for new, though only one store lists it new.

Questions and answers

Is 8 GB of RAM enough?
For browsing, email and office work, yes. For many browser tabs, large photo batches or video editing, 8 GB fills quickly, and on this generation it is not easy to upgrade.
How does it compare with an Apple Silicon iMac?
Apple Silicon iMacs run cooler and faster per watt and come with newer ports and cameras. This Intel model still wins on screen size, since the 24-inch iMac is smaller.
Is the price of $999 good?
It is far below the original new price for a 5K 27-inch iMac. With only one store listing it new at $999 as of November 6, 2026, compare against refurbished and used units before deciding.
Can the storage or RAM be upgraded?
The 512 GB SSD is best treated as fixed. RAM upgrades depend on the exact model year; many later 27-inch iMacs solder it in, so check the specific machine.
What is in the box?
Typically the iMac, a power cable, and a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse or Trackpad, depending on the configuration. Confirm accessories with the seller.
