DETAILED VIDEO SYNOPSIS:

The 2020 iMac (5K, 27-inch) is an amazing value. It comes with a great display, more powerful and functional CPUs and GPUs, standard SSD, and much, much more. I also do an in-depth look at the performance implications for Final Cut Pro X users. But there’s one big elephant in the room that prospective purchasers will need to think about.
