It was difficult to even discern the vocals because all the other tracks overwhelmed it with sharp high notes. There were moments during the song where the bass guitar was highlighted, but each note sounded warped and annoying to listen to. And when other tracks jumped in, my ears were violated with shrill high notes from the percussion. While the guitar riffs during the intro had a solid amount of treble, the bass sounded muddy. The iMac’s speakers were more than loud enough to fill a small office with The Strokes' 'Reptilia,' but the overall quality was poor. It's also nice that the keyboard and mouse are both wireless. However, your mileage will vary - some folks in my office had no problems with the keyboard. It sits just 4 to 10 millimeters off the ground, and while a MacBook Pro's keyboard might feel more shallow, at least the deck will take you 15 mm above the surface you're using.

Because of its low profile, it kind of feels like I'm just typing on a desk. But the keyboard itself isn't all that comfortable. To be fair, the keys are surprisingly clicky despite the low key travel. This all-in-one has enough brightness to make the glare barely noticeable, but it didn't make it to Apple's claim of 500 nits.Īpple's Magic Keyboard doesn't feel all too magical. However, the iMac's display killed it on color accuracy, hitting a Delta-E rating of 0.1 (closer to 0 is better), while the Zen AiO Pro (0.28) and Inspiron 27 (1.0) lagged behind.Īt 436 nits of brightness, the iMac's display absolutely crushed the Inspiron 27 (212 nits) and the Zen AiO Pro (247 nits). The iMac's display covered 126 percent of the sRGB color spectrum, which is colorful enough to overshadow the Inspiron 27 (120 percent), but it doesn't quite beat the Zen AiO Pro's vivid 146 percent.
