Our $1,499 test unit has the same amount of RAM, a faster 3.4GHz Core i5 CPU, and a 1TB Fusion Drive, which is Apple's SSD/HDD hybrid. The base $1,299 version of the 21.5-inch iMac 4K comes with 8GB of RAM, a 3GHz Core i5 processor, and a 1TB hard drive.

The iMac supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. Still, the peripherals here are much higher quality than, say, the wired, plastic mouse and keyboard that come with the Lenovo B50.

The only nit is that they are very shallow compared with typical PC keyboards and mice. Apple's wireless accessories charge with the included USB-to-Lightning cable, which also lets you use the keyboard in wired mode. You can also opt for a Magic TrackPad 2 instead of the mouse for an additional $50, or both for $129. The familiar Apple Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard, both Bluetooth, come pre-paired with the iMac. The iMac's speakers are accurate enough to quality check videos you're editing, though you'll want to use headphones for best results. Bass came through in some of our test tracks, though it doesn't sound as robust as with the Dell XPS 27 (7760), which has eight speakers and two passive radiators. The internal stereo speakers are aimed down at your desk or work surface, and they can fill a medium-sized room with clear audio. Despite the classic look, the stylish aluminum-and-glass iMac is still a design leader and more modern looking than the Lenovo B50, our last top pick for midrange AIO desktops, which is mostly black plastic.

The design of the 21.5-inch iMac is almost identical to the 2015 iteration, and at 17.7 by 20.8 by 6.9 inches (HWD), it's the same size. For artists on a budget or those whose daily tasks don't require a larger screen, the 21.5-inch with 4K Retina display (starts at $1,299 $1,499 as tested) is still the midrange AIO standard bearer, and is our Editors' Choice. Although the recent updates to Apple's smaller, more affordable AIO aren't revolutionary, it does get a nice bump in processor power, updated ports, the addition of discrete graphics, and a more-vibrant 4K display.

The 21.5-inch model plays in an area without a lot of competition. With only minor updates to the iMac's design and components since 2012, Windows all-in-one desktops (AIOs) like the Microsoft Surface Studio have set their targets squarely on Apple's AIO, but most of those comparable models have larger screens and are priced well above $2,000, putting them more in line with the 27-inch iMac.
