EXCELLENT

The 27–inch iMac launched in August of 2020 may be the last Mac to come with Intel inside. Apple announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference just a few months earlier that it will start selling Macs with Apple silicon inside as early as the end of this year. With a new Mac with new guts that could be the best yet, does it make sense to invest in an Intel Mac right now?

In this review, we’ll explain why an Intel iMac is still a good option for many people, and why it’s definitely not the right choice for some.

The 2020 27–inch iMac now comes standard with either 256 or 512 SSD storage, Radeon Pro 5300 or 5500 TX graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and Intel’s 10th–generation processor with either six or eight cores. It also now sports a 1080p webcam, nano–texture True Tone display, and a 10GB Ethernet option. It’s the latest and greatest iMac Apple has to offer at this time, but is this the Mac for you?
