Customers are delighted by the 27" iMac's large screen size and ease of use. Many appreciate its performance and elegant design, while some found the RAM upgradeable, a significant plus. However, the high price point and the performance of the Fusion Drive were common concerns.
We've been Mac owners for quite some time - well over a decade. We were super stoked to get our new iMac. We have been quite impressed over its gorgeous display and how sleek it looks and operated. However, we have noticed a noticeable downgrade as to performance, especially compared with the speed in which our older Macs performed when they were new. We were ready to be blown away by the performance, figuring it would have been mind-blowing - especially after not having purchased a new Mac in over 9 years. But, our minds weren't blown. It has performed adequately, at best. Zoom videos are absolutely wonderful on it, though, making us wonder if Apple and Zoom have a secret alliance going on. Also, we do wish the keyboard that came alone with this would have been the longer/extended one with the numeric pad. But, Apple being Apple, they have to find a way to skimp you, somehow, even though you're paying top-dollar for their products. It was also interesting to see that their accessories haven't really progressed much: the keyboard and mouse are, basically, the same they have been for a LONG time. It works, though. So, I guess it's a "don't fix what ain't broken' kinda deal. You just expect more when you're paying so much for an iMac - especially considering the illustrious "Apple" name. Overall, though, we're satisfied. Just not blown away.

I absolutely love this computer! I will soon be transitioning from working in an office, to working at home due to a relocation. I’m used to working with two screen in the office, so I needed a fast computer, with a big screen That would allow me to use split screen. Being that I have an iPhone, watch, and iPad, I though it would be great to have an iMac, so all of my important notes would show across all devices. It all works so seamlessly! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anybody.

I have been very impressed. The speed is very fast when going to and from programs. The screen display is amazingly flawless! Love the all in one benefits as it barely takes up any space. Mouse and keyboard have a very long charge lifespan and both are very well made. Love how it learns my habits and interests and begins to customize to me. The connection from my iPhone to the iMac is seemless!
