Apple - 27" iMac® with Retina 5K display (Latest Model) - Intel Core i7 (3.8GHz) - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Silver

I have a book to write and do some graphics. This the 2020 version of Apple 27” IMAC, Retina 5k display, Intel i7(3.8 GHZ Memory) - 8 GB is my first Apple Computer and what I need. I’m slowly getting oriented to it and have MS Office. I need to download couple of softwares. But overall, I’m pleased with it. I won’t know the capabilities until I utilized it with other softwares. I love the screen display and many functions.

I've always used a gaming desktop for most of my computer uses in the past years. However, as I've gotten older I find myself gaming a less and coding more with my job. Decided to purchase a iMac for the office and since I've been such a big fan of the Apple Ecosystem and the experience I have when I do my day to day office job. Especially with being remote most of the time. I love this computer setup. The screen is so amazing and clear. I think it is the best screen that I've ever typed on. The computer is speedy and I can breeze through my workload with no problem. I love the UI and the overall feeling when using the computer. Internet surfing feels so fast and the text is so super clear to read. The keyboard is very nice. It is a little on the smaller size but that really isn't too much of an issue with me. I did opt to get the Magic Trackpad instead of using the included Magic Mouse. I'm very used to using the MacBook Pro when it comes to MacOS gestures and features. The computer weighs very light and I love that it is an all in one computer so I don't have to worry about where to place a computer tower. However I do worry about when it comes down to cleaning the computer on the inside as I know dust will accumulate over time. I don't intend to play games on this computer as I have other computers to handle that for me. But I feel that it could handle some low to mid level of gaming if needed. I would recommend looking into getting some extra RAM as it is not that very expensive and would help with multi-tasking. I believe the on-board RAM is fine but I feel like it could be better at least 16GB. One thing I can nit-pick is the fact that the storage is kind of low. The worse thing is that I can't upgrade the storage myself without breaking warranties. Really feel like Apple should allow an end-user to upgrade the storage size easily. Overall I feel this Mac is a great investment when it comes to having a computer for several years and I foresee myself enjoy using it for my work and other projects and would highly recommend it to someone.

This is the second IMac I purchased. I never learned to operate the first one so I gave it to my son who has 5 girls, 3 are in college so I am certain that one is used! I waited & waited for someone to come to my house to set it up & finally made an appointment at Apple in Tampa. The Genius truly was a genius because he asked me just what I needed, clarified what I said, went right to work explaining what he was doing, gave me time to ask more questions, showed me how easy it is to use”dictate”, and had me practice it a few times. I am having severe problems with my sight, however, with this computer I can easily tell stories (on paper) just like my 86 year old brother who only has an eighth grade education is doing!

Acquired my top of the line new 2020 iMac a couple of weeks ago and it performs great as a new Apple product would be expected to perform. Excellent response from the 512GB SSD. Have utilized CleanMyMac to keep my storage size to a minimum. I did not get the i9. The i7 gives great response. Graphics are fast with the extra capability of this model. Added 16GB of RAM to the existing 8GB that came standard and have 24GB total RAM. Started with my first Macintosh in 1986 and have had new models every three or four years since. Got a good price for my old iMac that was a little over three years old. No waiting around for things to happen with the power of this new iMac. Love it!

I upgraded from a mid-2014 as part of a regular upgrade cycle. I run a law practice on these machines. I routinely have to run OCR and handle very large PDF files. This new machine, when installed with 72GB of RAM, is excellent. In addition, the improved video camera and microphone allows a much better Zoom experience for court hearings and client meetings. It was a prime factor in my upgrade decision. Finally, because these machines are so durable and practical, I was able to sell the 2014 iMac, which was a TOTL for its time (quad i7 and 1TB SSD) for nearly half what I paid for the 2020!

It's a joy to work work with the iMac 27". The speed is impressive, the colors are vivid, the image so sharp. I have no problem reading very small text on this screen. The reason I bought this model, knowing that the new MX iMacs will come on the market within a year or so, is that this model still allows memory upgrades with third-party RAM modules. I replaced two 4GB modules with two 32GB modules and now I have 72GB of RAM memory for a fraction of the future cost.

...but had to return reference screen glare. Need to try the nano screen but can I order via Best Buy?! I’ll found out! In reference to the iMac, 2020 is definitely the year if you want probably one of the last Intel chip devices. Apple went all out on this with upgrading to triple studio mics to an HD video cam and very fast SSD‘s. The 5k display is a special treat as well. Thanks for reading my short review!

Love love love this computer! I have had MacBooks and other apple products in the past. An iPad mini and several iPhones. But this computer is by far the best Apple purchase I’ve made. I am going back to school for multimedia design in august and needed something that could run multiple large Adobe programs at once. And this does the job! Best Buy for sure!
