Apple quietly updated its 5K iMac yesterday with tweaks to its CPU and camera, but as with all of Apple’s machines the sting comes in the price-tag. Especially when customising.<\/p>\n

The new 27″ 5K iMac internals look largely the same albeit for an update to Intel’s latest 10th-gen i5 & i7 processors and a bump to the latest Radeon GPUs.<\/p>\n

Missing from the new versions is Apple’s hybrid Fusion Drive, which I doubt many will miss. Strangely though, the base version, which only has 256GB of storage, cannot be configured to have any more.<\/p>\n

A new configuration option that many will be excited about is the introduction of Apple’s “Nano-texture” glass. Essentially a return to a matte screen option is something users have been screaming for essentially since they went away. The downside here is that to have the option you’ll need to fork out another A$500!<\/p>\n

Available to order immediately<\/a> the new 27″ 5K range starts at A$2,799 for the i5 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Radeon Pro 5300 4GB up to the A$3,549 i7 3.8GHz, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8GB.<\/p>\n
