The screen alone is worth the price, it's so beautiful. I upgraded the RAM to 32GB and I am using this computer for photo editing work. The computer is very fast but only when I work off the desktop (which is a good reason for the 1TB flash storage). When I run BlackMagic Speed Test I get read/write speeds of over 700 MB/s whereas my USB external hard drive gets only about 50MB/s and my slow NAS gets 10MB/s. Lightroom is not as fast as I would have expected but still gets the job done. My roommate has used it for video editing and she said it's very fast for her.

Purchased this iMac as a replacement for an older 2011 model which was getting a bit slow for my use. My most computer intensive tasks are editing photographs and now HD movies - as a hobby, not as a professional. With over 500 Gigs of photo files, I needed a computer with more processing power and speed. I also moved away from iPhoto/Aperture and on to Lightroom 6 on this new machine. Lr6 works very well on it. The 4.0 Ghz i7 quad core processor is very fast, as is the solid state flash drive. I purchased this unit with just 8GB of RAM with the intention of upgrading (very easy to do) later on to the full 32 GB limit when I am ready. If I had to do it over again, I would save some money and get the 512GB flash drive, instead of the full TB. Having done that I would they put the savings into an external Thunderbolt 2 drive, which would be fast enough for my use. An option you might consider. Two weeks after purchasing my iMac from Adorama, Apple announced a price reduction for this model. I reached out to Ms. Helen at Adorama and she quickly gave me store credit for the difference - all within 2 hour of my email to Adorama. Wow, what service! Very impressed and satisfied with the level of after sales service. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and would buy it again - from Adorama.

iMac has always been about having a huge, immersive place to see and create amazing things. So making the best possible iMac meant making the best possible display. The new 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display has four times as many pixels as the standard 27-inch iMac display. So you experience unbelievable detail. On an unbelievable scale.
At such a scale, even the best existing technologies wouldn't have made this iMac possible. So Apple did the impossible - developing a display with the performance to light up 14.7 million pixels, reducing energy consumption while maintaining their high standard for brightness, and advancing image quality for the most striking contrast ever.
And Apple did it all without compromising the incredibly thin design, just 5 mm at its edge.
