Jasmine’s imac
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Hands down the best computer I have ever purchased. I love the customer service I received. They also got me extra storage and I just love having this addition to my business everything was smooth. The only down side is there’s no usb spot so you will have to connect to everything wireless that doesn’t use the new kind.

Perfect computer
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I have always wanted an iMac and this was my first Mac purchase ever. The unboxing experience itself was so satisfying and felt so smooth. The Mac has been running very well and it sounds and loads amazing! I’m finally able to play on high graphics and have multiple windows open without getting overloaded. Took a bit getting used to as I have mainly used windows products before but I have found the experience quite satisfying and I can’t seem to get away from my desk and Mac sometimes.

By far an incredible iMac
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.After two weeks of great use, I am proud to say that I am really happy with my purchase! By far one of the best iMac Apple has ever created. I came from using a MacBook Pro and the M1 chip really does make a big difference compare to Apple's previous intel processor. I love how thin the hardware is. The model that I got comes with two cooling fans, so make sure to get the 8GB memory since they come with two fans.

Q: QuestionIs this machine able to upgrade to more memory? If so what are the specs to purchase more memory?
Asked by Mindy.
- A:Answer You cannot upgrade the memory (RAM) and storage. Buy the system that has the right amount of memory and storage for yourself up-front. In the worst case scenario, at least in regards to storage, you can get an external hard drive if you run out of space but with memory, there are no work-arounds. With that said, 8 GB of memory (RAM) is enough for many users. If you are doing word processing/web browsing/typical day to day work on a computer, 8 GB is plenty. But if you are doing more advanced/demanding tasks, like photo/video editing, then I would recommend 16 GB of RAM. As for storage, see how much of your computer's storage you are using now. Will you be storing lots of media, like photos and videos? In that case, buy a model with more storage up front or if you can't afford that right now, buy an external hard drive later on when you run out of space and really need it. Hope that helps.
