Apple - 21.5" iMac® - Intel Core i5 (1.6GHz) - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Silver

This is my first Mac. I have always owned Windows computers. Of course they make good Windows computers but the Macs display is phenomenal. The response is great. It took a while for me to get used to it because of a different operating system. Many things are done in an opposite way from Windows such as closing browsers. The way to download your pictures to websites is different from Windows but I fiqured it out. The keyboard and mouse are wireless and have to be charged. I own the computer three weeks and I'm at 60% charge. I wish the iPhone was like that. The Mac recognized new hardware and installs it with no issues. It also recognizes other Apple products you own and works with those products. There is no Dvd/Cd drive. I bought an external one and it works fine. After owning this computer I will never go back to Windows.

This is a very good iMac for users who don't need a lot of horsepower to run demanding apps. The i5 CPU only has 2 cores and doesn't support some of the 4 core CPUs extended functions. Additionally, the memory is not upgradeable, and neither is the hard drive should you want to upgrade to an SSD drive or a 7200 RPM hard drive. Other than that, this is a very good computer with an excellent operating system. It seems to run faster if you leave it in Sleep mode rather than turning it off. This may be due to drive indexing and improved memory caching. I'm not sure. One other thing: Don't expect to run games requiring a lot of graphics power as it isn't equipped with either iris graphics or a processor by one of the graphics card manufacturers.

Have always been a pc girl but have always wanted a iMac, but I've been scared away because lots of people seem to find them hard to understand and use and I am NOT computer savvy so I was not even wanting to try and change. But after having iPhones and iPads for the last few years and my pc of 7 years just not keeping up anymore, I decided to take advantage of the Black Friday deal. And I'm completely in love. It's basically a huge iPad and it was super easy to get the hang of it. Especially since I already had an established Apple account. It's looks pretty, awesome picture quality and sound, also can't believe how fast the start up is. And love I don't have to deal with all those cords anymore. Still have to do some exploring and download some apps to get it where I'd like. Like photo editing and stuff. Not looking forward to transferring all photos and music but hopefully it won't be too hard. Totally impressed with this iMac and I think it will work well for my needs.

I'm a long time Apple user that for personal reasons had to leave the Apple side and venture back into the everything but Apple in technology. I have used my fair share of technology (being only 31 and a female) but Apple products by far are the best. I owned an iMac in 2004 that I bought used and thought it was great, so I bought a newer model in 2007 and liked it even more! Then I took time away from Apple products having owned an iBook, iMacs, original iPhone and iPods/shuffle/minis. I purchased purchased this new iMac to work in conjunction with my iPad mini on creative consulting for my clients. I like the flawless screen, the ease of the keyboard and mouse with no cords and the super thin appearance compared to older models. The computer runs fast and the screen size is perfect for using Photoshop and iMovie. I'm not missing a Cd/DVD drive at all. It only took me an hour to set it up to sync all of my settings and customize it. I'm very impressed and I'm glad I came back to the new and improved side of Apple.

Such a pleasure to finally upgrade to a new computer. Simple tasks are easier, more difficult ones are straight forward. Syncing between iMac, iPad, and iPhone is now a pleasure. I do miss the numeric keyboard but otherwise WONDERFUL.

I love the thin screen and no tower that requirers less space. As a first time Apple user I found it easy to follow the steps for set up, then a quick call to the Apple Care line for additional help when I needed it.

I love the computer, but El Capitan is probably the worse OS I've experienced. It freezes tremendously.

Great computer. Not necessary to buy the newest one. Does the same job
