Love it
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5This is my first home computer. I work at a law firm so I didn't want to compute at home. However, this pandemic changed the game so I had to purchase one. I needed a simple computer, but was told this was one of the best -- they were not wrong. Everyday I find something new this does that surprises me, like receiving and sending text messages from it directly, or being able to make my television my phone screen. It's pretty amazing!! Can't wait to see what else it's capable of.

Excellent Personal/Home Computer
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5After several months of consideration, decided to buy the least expense iMac to replace my aging MacBook Air (mid 2013) as the primary computer of the house. Over all very pleased with the decision. The price point was right on and the specs were acceptable for our general purpose use. I've installed Parallels and Windows 10 to make this the ultimate personal computer setup for all uses. The only issue, which I did not realize until after the purchase was that BestBuy doesn't reward on Apple purchases! Big bummer there.

Know What You Need
Posted .I just bought this entry level IMac. I did a ton of research. I want to thank Dell for giving me the push to switch from Windows. A bad BIOS update killed my Dell laptop and Dell refused to help because the machine was out of warranty when it was the firmware update that caused the issue. Yes, this is confirmed fact. Let’s talk about this computer. I’m not doing super heavy work. Mostly documents and some photo editing. I don’t need the biggest or baddest, nor do I need the middle tier. I did move the OS over to a 500G solid state drive. The slow 1T, 5400 RPM internal drive will be used for extra storage. Boot times and apps/programs are blazing fast. The trick is knowing the work you want to do and which Mac you need to do that work. This computer meets and exceeds my work flow need. I highly recommend this computer if it will do what you need it to do. Do pick up a solid state drive and have Apple Support walk you through making it your boot and primary drive.

Q: QuestionIs this model sufficient for video editing and graphic design work? Would the storage be sufficient for this type of work also?
Asked by Pegg.
- A:Answer I've had mine for less than a month and plan to use mine for creating music and videos.It is much faster and has much more memory than my old Windows PC, which was used for same purposes. It should work well unless you plan on making full length motion pictures, then you may need to invest in higher models.

Q: QuestionDoes the Apple Mac have to have a virus protection. I always thought with an Apple product it came in it like it does in your iPad
Asked by Kim.
- A:Answer No, I've never gotten virus protection for any of my apple products and I've never had a problem. If you want virus protection for peace of mind you can, but I personally don't think it's necessary.
