We like Mavericks just fine, but making it free only amounts to a $20 savings. In terms of software, we're far more geeked about Boot Camp's capabilities than we are with OS X 10.9 Mavericks being a free OS. Only the 1TB HDD is a bit of a buzz kill, though at least Apple gives you the option of choosing something faster. Inside the brilliant display is a solid foundation consisting of a 3.4GHz quad-core Core i5 Haswell processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M graphics, the two of which provide plenty of power to drive a 27-inch system. Name brand monitors boasting similar specs typically start at around $550. While that seems high for a system these days, it's important not to overlook the fact that you're getting a premium IPS panel with a 2560x1440 resolution. The 27-inch iMac starts at $1,799 and that's the configuration we received. This has become Apple's calling card - build gorgeous systems that set the bar in style, but lock users out of tinkering. If we're to find fault with this design, it's because there's no way to service the machine or upgrade components on your own, not without specialized tools and some uncommon skills, anyway. The aluminum unibody construction that Apple is so fond of translates nicely to the iMac's form factor in terms of sex appeal, and it's remarkably thin too boot. Apple's attention to detail when it comes to designing products is arguably second to none, and certainly we feel the modern generation iMac is the best looking all-in-one system on the market.
