This is my first Apple computer. I've had an iPhone for 2 yrs and love it, so when the Gateway desktop died I thought "let's try an Apple." Easy to set up easy to use. It does take some getting used to if you've always had a PC. I like the OS so much better than windows 8! Bottom line-it was a splurge but worth it

I have always been a PC guy but with he amount of viruses out there I had to buy two or more anti virus programs and then renew them yearly. With the MAC i don't have to do that. I don't have the added cost so that owners the price of the computer for me. The other thing is most schools in the US are using MACs due to the ease of networking. I now can provide my children with the same platform they use at school.

My 10 yr old iMac would no longer read discs and refused updates so even while it functioned, I knew there was a fatal drive flaw. Bought this new one during the holiday crush and Best Buy's order entry system had crashed, so just getting the order placed was a horror. Love the wireless keyboard, mouse, and printer connectivity. Don't like the new keyboard is missing the delete button going forward, can only delete a mistake going backwards. And having only one set of numbers up top on the keypad, when the older version had number keys in a calculator type array on the right. I felt so stupid looking for a disc slot to insert discs, there isn't one. An external disc drive is needed. I don't get all the prompts that my system needs updating like my old machine. The oldie but goodie was at times so outdated I could not log onto some sites. The only drawback is the Pages word processor where you have to convert the default format into PDF to download to other applications and email. Overall happy with it. It came with 6 mos free internet security which took way too many contacts to Best Buy to make available when this should have been automatic.

Got tired of my Windows 8 laptop. I'm happy I switched to the Mac. Starts up in a flash. The resolution is great. Apple products are the best and are easy to use.

Everything is working fine and looks great! I got it when its price went down 200 bucks during the black Friday sales. I have the previous version in my office so I needed something similar at home. The only drawback is that it does not come with a DVD/CD player /reader installed. That's my only reason for the four stars!

This was my first time owning a Mac OS. I wanted something that I could use for photo editing (Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop) and for central location on my home for all my documents to sync up to (as I have an iPhone and iPad).
This is a great product and I have loved the interface, it took me about a week to get used to the OS having used a PC my whole life. I love being able to switch between desktops with a two finger swipe on top of the mouse and various other features. The only thing I would say, is that I wished I gotten the Mac that had more RAM, as my editing can get kinda slow and feel lagging. Since my editing is more casual rather than professional, I sucked it up and went for this version with lower RAM for the price, but it would be nice to have those programs run faster by having more RAM

I'm still learning to use and become familiar with all of the marvelous things this computer is capable of doing--and, being a senior, I have a slow learning curve, but each time I use it, I find new surprises and delights--from the smart mouse to some of the more advanced features, many of which I'm sure I have yet to discover! As an added bonus, I bought this gem when it was on sale for $200 off! It's a Mac--what more can I say?!
