Everything you need to know on Apple's new 4K iMac!
+Jonathan Morrison What if you get the 2TB option is that a good deal? I'm thinking of buying one for college in a year and just curious. Thanks and great review!
+Ross Obermeier get a gaming notebook
+Pyther Gark clearly you are with that profile pic'
+Pyther Gark $400-500 computer doesn't have the same performance as a $1000 laptop I guarantee you. Not only that your $400-500 probably doesn't come with a half decent keyboard or mouse and NO monitor what so ever. To be able to even use your shit box of a PC would be almost $1000. The laptop to desktop performance argument only exists in Mid and up category of PC's for example an 4790k with a 970.
+Pyther Gark rrrrroasted
20 seconds into the video and it already looks like the dopest review on the planet.
i honestly have to say that your videos are insane and the quality is definitely crispy. I do headphone reviews and gameplay videos and can only hope to reach the quality of your videos. nice work and you make me proud to be a subscriber
@ 4:15 : Instead of blocking the Serial Number with a black box, block it with the same color as the background; so it's not being a distraction. Just a tip. I think it would be better. I might be the only one. I don't know. Great video though!
Jonathan, your videos keep getting better day by day. Keep up the good work man!
Couldn't agree more with the no 5400 rpm hard drive. I bought a 21.5" w/5400 HDD and will be taking it back. I just love watching the System Preferences icon jump up and down for 10 seconds before anything happens...
So crispy.
+EposVox Cool
Thanks Jonathan! This has been the most useful review I've seen so far on the iMac. After watching I made up my mind going for the 4k iMac, 8gb 256 SSD.
They should've put only an SSD, especially for that price. The hard drives need to leave this generation.
Agreed
+ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇᴩᴛɪʟɪᴀɴ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀʜᴏᴏᴅ - HISSSSSS the computer doesn't suck, it just has 1 and a half bottlenecks.
+wowitsbryce Just like the 16Gb Models on flagship smartphones
***** I hate Macs too.
***** I agree. Hard drives should only be used on extremely low budgets. They break way too easily and it's too common. #NoMoreHardDrives
What external hard drive would you recommend for FCPX editing? Thanks and the footage was extremely smooth and sharp as always.
SSD hardisk is best
that screen looks so good, from my screen!
"No! Helllll no!" lmao
TechMe0ut u
Legit video
I don't own a Mac, or plan to buy one in the near future, but I really do enjoy your Apple videos. They are very informative! Very crispy Jon! And it doesn't make sense that Apple won't let you upgrade the ram.
Would love to see a side by side comparison of boot speed and application loading speeds of the 5400 drive and the fusion and or SSD drives.
I bought an imac 21.5 inch 2.8ghz 16gb ram and 1tb 5400 on Thursday. I paused your video midway called them and got the fusion drive, I wish I would have gotten just the flash but shit is expensive in Canada. Thanks!
I love the revolving camera shots, keep it up!
It would be cool to see 60fps or 48 incorporated in your videos for a more closer to life feel.
..It's really disappointing to see Apple putting in low performance parts in their new machines
Great video Jonathan. Glad you were brave enough to inform the users who aren't in the know when it comes to specifications. A lot of people will see the 4K display alone and will be sold on it right away.
There must be no video from now on without a mini roast of the charging port location on the Magic Mouse! haha
Crispy footage and banging music
That dock bounce scene deserves a like! :-D
Jonathan, Do you think we will see a new 27 inch monitor anytime soon? Thanks for the great videos.
broke my screen from smashing the like button bro
Screen is crispy! Good work on the video.
Why would you not get the 27 inch 5k?! This makes no sense.
+Josh Logan I'm guessing limited space?
Money?

K.
He did. He reviewed it when it came out. Jonathan buys stuff to review.

Maybe hook up an external thunderbolt SSD Drive? You can boot from it (even Windows) and put all your footage on there. Butt they are really expensive of course.
If I was an Apple Store employee, I would be ashamed to tell people that the iMac uses 5400RPM drive! WTF, Apple?
Is that captain america shield a reference to tony stark's office in iron man with the shield hidden as a easter egg?
Great camera shots and editing on this one!
i smashed the like button so hard my hand broke.
Apple needs to use ssds. I got a Samsung 850 evo recently, and I can never go back to a gard drive. the silence and speed of the ssd in unbelievable. My computer boots in less that a minute and is snappy af.
That mouse charging position! HAHAHAHA! Imma stick with my old magic mouse. :P
xD that quick show of the stupid mouse charge position
+Rakesh Kumar :D
+Jonathan Morrison I'm glad that you are so active in the comments section, keep it up!
+Jonathan Morrison yeah dude, you are one of the few youtubers that responds comments. :]
About the Apple Magic Mouse, 2 minutes of charging will give you approximately 9 hours of use. I think that's more than fine.
@@TLD what's the refresh rate of the screen?
Excellent video as always Jonathan! Great editing!
+Dark Mysteries Thanks man!
It's finally out !!! 😍 been waiting for it !
@jonathan morisson , which 27" imac would you recommend for photoediting? much difference between i5 and i7? great review as usual btw ;)
The best tech channel 👌
@Jonathan Morrison i belive you CAN connect a late 2013 Mac Pro to this to use it as an external display.
Smashed that like button through the table!
excellent video review of this 4K 21 inch iMac. Beauty shots and flow. Very entertaining and informative video.
I saw this at the Apple Store and I think they could have made it a little bit better lol and this coming from a big apple fan
I just now realized that this screen allows you to view true cinema 4K content as opposed to only 3840 wide.
Good review. What about going up to 2TB 128 GB Fast Flash drive for an extra $200?
The 256G flash works good.
I got the 5K iMac.
Didn't the new fusion drives go to a significantly smaller SSD rather then a 128GB? So the fusion drive isn't nearly as good as it used to be?
Can you please do a review on the Microsoft Surface Book!
Bezels are still too big.
HDD RPM doesn't independently affect transfer speed/performance.. its the amount of data that can be carried/transferred per revolution on the HDD. Apple uses the higher standard HDD 5400RPM that allows more data to be transferred per revolution, thus allowing faster transfers of more information per revolution.
i have a cheap computer g3258 270x
it has a 7200 rpm 3tb drive and it boots in 11 seconds til i can login
faster hard drive is needed for sure
I wish that HDD manufacturers would just go SSD or Hybrid, I mean, even 7200 RPM HDDs just are painfully slow nowadays at times. Won't be too long until ALL mechanical HDDs are rendered obsolete in favor of Vertical SSDs (Samsung certainly knows how to replace mechanical platter technology).
It seems like Apple is trying to get rid off the stock of 5400 RPM drives :D
Lol
+TekTick Yup, its like the iPad mini - a way to get read of old, outdated hardware.
TekTick I am from the future and I can tell your you’re wrong
Great video idk how you come up with ur ideas but that's why I keep watching 👍💯
I love it how you throw shade for like .5 seconds so it wont be so obvious ahaha
Don't forget to mention that even the new 1TB fusion drive only comes with 24GB of flash storage on it.
What you Think about : iMac 4k , i7 , 8 gb ram and 256gb SSD
steve jobs would have told apple to put the lightning port facing outside instead of bottom. The imac bezel and the 5400rpm option need to go.
You should make a review of Razer Blade QHD+!
CRISPY AF
The fusion drive also sucks. Ever since the upgrade to Sierra I decided to move back to my 3 year old Lenovo Y510P. Yes, it's THAT BAD.
Any chance you would do an in depth review of the 27 inch 5k imac?
Smashed CRISPY on that Like button!!
Is storage upgradeable with the ifix tool kit for the none 4k 2.8ghz iMac
Maybe the bit density on it is bigger. Any info on that? The rpm isn't the only thing that affects speed. You could have lower rpms and a higher bit density and get similar speeds. But yeah SSD should be standard. Apple has been pretty lame lately with their underwhelming specs and higher prices.
I have a late 2013 maxed out (core i7, 32gb ram) EXCEPT the 5400rpm drive. God. Is there any way to upgrade it to SSD?
I have this with the 1 tb fusion drive and it works great
how is the headphone jack optical? you mean auxiliary? optical is digital right?
I have a question, where do you think the charging port on the mouse should be, because I dont think there is a good place, it cant be on the top or bottom and on the sides it would be annoying.
Best review yet!
Hi Jonathan - Will you be reviewing the new 2015 27" iMac?
you and your tech rocks
Ok the 5200 rpm sucks.... What if I get the 5k imac, is the 7200rpm really any better than the 5200 in the 4k or do I have to upgrade on both of them?
Great Video man!
As ridiculous as it sounds, since I've had the 5k retina for a year or so, the 4K seems so subpar. Seriously. A 4K display is subpar? What's wrong with me?
The problem is this model's RAM is not user upgradable.
Dude you're awesome more than the awesomeness you were in the last video.
Would you recommend the 16gbRAM with the 2TB fusion drive?
Also, what would be the better option with this... i5 or i7 ?
Hi! Can I ask you if someone here knows something about the blinking screen with el capitan and retina? It happens to me running photoshop and other adobe's programmes... I'm desperate, adobe is imposible to talk with and appel says it's their fault...
I just bought the new 4K with the 5400rpm hard drive. I am not a programmer nor I am planning on editing a lots of 4K video but after watching your review, I am having second thought about the new iMac. should I keep it or should I take it back to best buy to upgrade to the 27inc 5K???
Awesome editing!
love the video Jonathan ☺☺
I just got the iMac 27 the one for 1,799 didn't update anything. U think it would be fine far as editing video ( 4K video ) and doing photoshop work inside it. I'm coming from a Macbook Pro late 2008 model ... Would love a feedback I got it Nov 7th 2015.
The cuality of your videos is simple awesome. Continue like that!
+Exhatum Thanks bud!
should i get the 256gb or the 1tb fusion drive ?
can u PLLLLLLZZZZ reply when u buy a IMAC in best buy will u have to worry about something about it?
If you're not going to be editing much and use it mostly as a daily driver for word, web browsing, movies, small amount of editing, is the fusion drive upgrade necessary?
0:42 shots fired XD
I like you videos so much Jon! Could you do a video for the Nexus 5X & 6P?
Even the Fusion Drive only comes with 24GB of flash storage.
5400rpm drive? Does it also have a 56k modem?
have a different thought of what hardware costs . They think ram should cost 3x as much as other thinks..
Does it have output to a bigger screen? There's no HDMI
awesome!! I'll go check video blocks too!! Thanks!
Crazy to think that in 6 years apple has gone backwards i just recently upgraded an early 2009 24in iMac to a SSD and it had a 7200RPM WD black drive in it....
I don't see a reason why anyone would buy this 21,5" iMac.
The 27" version not only has a bigger screen size and resolution,but also comes with a faster hard drive, thus having a better price performance ratio.
Still pretty nice video!
Isn't the 27inch screen too big for the daily use of a non-photoediter? I'm still deciding between the 4k and 5k one and will make purchase decision in a few weeks.
What was that outro song? Sounded so dope
So when you chose 4K on youtube it can work?
Love this video and I love your channel, but my iMac has the 5400 RPM hard drive and it works great! Maybe it'll get slow in the future, but for now it works good. I respect what you said about the hard drive, but I like mine :) Thanks for this video and I can't wait to see more!
I love your video ! I 'm getting a Macbook Air 13 -inch in 2015 but next year ! Keep it bisoux 😘😍❤️💘
Can you do 27 inch 5k Mac?
Hey Jonathan, what frame rate do you record and render at?
I smashed that Like-button, but now my MBPr broke (typing on my iPhone).
