A+ Deal
I was browsing at my local Best Buy store not really looking to make a purchse, but had wanted an iMac for a really long while. I was on my way out of the store after just looking at a 15in MacBook Pro and spotted this in the box. The associate that processed the transaction actually let me open the box to first have a look at what I was buying being that this was a refurbished product. After looking I knew I wouldn't see a deal like this for quite a while so I bought it. I'm working on my MBA at the moment, so this couldn't have come at a better time. Very happy with my purchase and would trust Best Buy's refurbished items again.

Syncing Apple devices are Awesome
I purchased the iMac desktop because I have other Apple products. This is my very first iMac desktop. I've already had to use Apple support system and the experience was great. I wasn't expecting the screen to be so big. All of my Apple devices sync which is Awesome!
