Key Specs
- Screen Size: 21.5 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Processor Model: Intel 4th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Awesome
This is the first time that I've owned an Apple computer and I must say I love my iMac. It is fast, beautiful and the transition to Apple's operating system has been pretty simple. No complaints here.

Another great iMac!
I purchased this for my youngest daughter for her high school graduation. She loves it! After having so many issues with PC's over the years I bought an iMac years ago and bought one for all 3 of my daughters. We are an Apple family now because they simply work great. This latest version just keeps getting better and has a fantastic 21.5" screen with plenty of memory. It comes with a great wireless keyboard. The only thing she wishes it had was a CD drive. It can be purchased as a separate item but why not build it in like in older models? It doesn't make a difference to save the thickness on a desktop model. That's the only negative that I can see with an otherwise excellent product.

My Dream Desktop
I have been wanting this iMac since, well forever. And the price was scary, but in all reality Apple makes great products. Now I've always had Dell or HP Computers so the transition to IOS has been a little challenge, but everyday I learn something new. I have even called Apple Care, I believe it what it's called. And the guy was VERY and I mean very helpful, informative and friendly. This computer is so slick it can fit anywhere in your home. I bought this iMac unexpectedly and need to get a nice desk for it, but in the mean time it's sitting on my dining room table. For a temporary solution it works. I love the keyboard it's so easy to type, I love the look of the icons. It's going to take a while to get used to all the ways to use it and figure out the tools and tricks and shortcuts. But finally after a few years of stalking it online on the Best Buy website it is finally all MINE! ;)
