home not a desktop mind you a laptop i've got a macbook which until recently really hasn't had any competition from apple as far as a decent macbook goes but that's not why we're here today today we're looking at this the brand new 27-inch imac this is still Intel based which is going to put a few people off i know i'm not entirely sure if i would buy one right now you know maybe it'll uh maybe it'll grow on me who knows the box is basically unchanged from the past 10 years it's got this kind of trapezoidal design here with a nice little handle the box has already been opened up by our warehouse staff we are going to review this on Linus tech tips so uh without further ado let's pop it open yeah it's not not too much fanfare okay so we got these uh little i don't know kind of like wheel chocks in this one actually is the nice flush sitting apple branded power cable and in this one we've got our accessories box inside of which we have a magic mouse and a magic keyboard and uh not much else there is a little uh this is a cleaning cloth let's see here yeah nice actually really nice microfiber cleaning cloth single charging cable for both the uh magic keyboard and the magic mouse which of course still goes into the bottom one day maybe they'll do wireless charging that'd be nice and there probably are some stickers in here if apple is a creature of habit and sure enough here they are so that's the accessories let's move on to the main event here we've got this nice kind of fabric-y i'm not sure what this is to be honest it doesn't feel like paper it's like cotton maybe helps prevent uh any kind of scuffs or other damage during shipping which is nice to see and we also have this uh well it would have been a lot tighter but i actually took it off earlier because i wanted to see what was underneath and i think you will too when we had our pro display xdr review we ended up not opting for the nano texture glass because that would have delayed it by quite a lot but uh in this case for the first time an imac is getting that treatment and it wouldn't have delayed our shipment based on uh the other specs that we had so why not right good at time as any take a look at it there we go yeah look at that it's kind of uh kind of a weird mix between glossy and matte because like from this angle i can see reflections but if i yeah like from this angle i cannot i have a reflection but yeah except it's not a matte film it's actually laser etched into the glass so it's at a nano level i'm not entirely sure what apple means by that but basically you cannot see the individual little markings which i think is actually a better effect just because you don't get that sparkle so much at least i don't think you will have to turn it on to find out around back though we've got the usual suspects we've got headphone jack so it's not a very courageous product i'm sorry sd card slot uh four usb i believe 3.1 ports two Thunderbolt ports uh 10 gigabit Ethernet port this is upgraded to the 10 gigabit model just get a nas 10 gigabit Ethernet and uh yeah you're pretty much golden even if you just use wi-fi for internet and 10 gig for your nas it's still a lot better than the alternatives and this here is the final peel one thing i've always liked about the imac is they have these removable RAM bay covers so you don't have to take anything else apart you just press a little button in there and this panel just pops right off and underneath we can see that we have i think that's four slots with two sticks installed so that's really it for the outside it again like the box hasn't really been changed since i don't know 2011. let's get it uh plugged in and fired up but first our sponsor the cove commuter 2 bluetooth speaker it's a water resistant portable speaker with seven hours of battery life and up to 30 feet of range the star of the show features its ability to split into two separate speakers and when combined they create a 360 degree sound but when separated each speaker creates a left and right stereo sound use code sc6040 get 64 off the co commuter 2 at the link below one thing apple does really well is the fact that you just really only need one cable and it just fits flush right in here like this that's nothing new but i still think it's deep the magic mouse one had an indicator whenever you turned it on this doesn't have it how unfortunate magic keyboard is on also doesn't have an led just a little green bit here i guess that saves battery hey okay i missed the bong to use english as the main language press the return key cool thank you for a matte finish like there's no fringing or anything like it's it's a little bit of a frosted effect but it's not that distracting i usually find like a heavy mat to be really distracting so like i kind of actually preferred the glossy one weird thing though is that the webcam cutout obviously doesn't have the nano texture so it just kind of like sticks out like a sore thumb up here press the escape key i thought i'd have my fill with that with katana but apparently not i mean it's an assistive thing so like if you can't see very well if you if you have vision issues then having the talk about it talk back is good it's just it's just really annoying when you're just trying to set up the computer touch a sign in here a bit of wi-fi there verifying garageband come on apple who cares i'm i'm setting the system up true town yeah can't really turn it off from here i don't know why you're just like hey look at this feature that we have something we complain about every time but it's still annoying that they haven't fixed that let's put a more vibrant wallpaper on here and see how the screen looks yeah that's pretty good i don't use imacs too often so i'm not entirely up to speed on how bright they get i feel like the macbooks get a little bit brighter i am off axis though so so i've got a couple little benchmarks downloaded first let's take a look at the system itself this is the retina 5k 27 inch 2020 we knew that we've got a 3.6 gigahertz 10 core Intel core i9 that's the core i9 10 910 i think 16 gigabytes of 2667 megahertz ddr4 and the AMD Radeon pro 5700 xt 16 gig one terabyte of storage one of the new features of the 27 inch for this year is the addition of bluetooth 5.0 i don't think apple has any 5.0 devices aside from the iphone maybe the ipad all right let's throw up Intel power gadget looks like yup 3.6 looks to be about the frequency that it would be baseline at currently below that temperature is 37 degrees i think it's like 21 or 22 in here right now okay power draw went way up above looks like 150 almost 145 ish yeah 155 actually uh temperatures at 85.9 86.9 88 oh temperature's at 96. uh apple please you were doing so well 98 the run is over that's what apple's banking on us the CPU is just not going to have to get that hot for very long i don't like it all right let's uh let's hit it with a more sustained load and see what the temperatures look like i don't expect that it's going to be very happy prime95 can't be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software who cares let me do it all right we're at 160 watts okay dropped out of hyper turbo and now it's just turbo turbo 145 watts fan is not at maximum speed hovering around 97 to 98 degrees right now oh no i just dropped down 94 93 huh maybe apple's learned something still not perfect but uh i'll take that over cooking it so that's better than i expected it would be but at the same time i'm still very concerned about the longevity of this machine because this is a brand new machine and it hasn't sucked any dust into its fans you're not getting uh any kind of cleaning solution in there without taking the whole thing apart hopefully ARM fixes this problem ARM is much more efficient architecture but if they can get this kind of performance level ish in like i don't know 70 or 80 degrees they could market it as the quietest mac ever like the fans are running right now and you can hear them at 70 or 80 degrees the fans wouldn't have been running like this finally i want to see how this Radeon pro 5700xt works in the imax enclosure just throw geekbench at it it's kind of like the the mac benchmark okay so a 16-inch macbook pro actually got a score that is a fair bit lower than ours with an external 5700 xt so i would call that pretty good this performance does come at a cost a pretty significant one this thing starts at 17.99 us and that's with a six core processor with eight gigs of RAM a 256 Gigabyte SSD and a Radeon pro 5300 this configuration with the nano texture glass it's 500 the 10 core processor it's another 400 16 gig of ddr4 that's another 200 Radeon pro 5700 xt with 16 gigs of RAM another 500 and another 200 for the one terabyte SSD and another 100 for the 10 gig Ethernet brings us to a brand total of 41.99 us dollars i can't recommend that but i can recommend you check out the full
