    First Mac, Every Day User

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my first Mac, I was a PC user until I bought this but decided to switch to Mac to sync with my iphone and ipod. Functionally, it doesn't seem like much of a step up from a PC, and word and excel constantly crash on me. I hate iphoto and itunes, and wish they would just let me work with the source files sometimes. That being said, I love the look of it, and the way I can hook all of my devices over wifi. I bought a logitech solar keyboard to use instead of the factory keyboard since I require use of a full size numeric pad, and that has worked out well for me. I bought this instead of a laptop, but if I had to transport this think it is quite portable. I have had to take it to my work a couple times to install special software and it is not too much of a hassle. I like the 21.5 inch much better than the larger screen, which takes twice the effort to mouse over and requires that you sit far away from the screen.

    Great Computer, made a great gift

    I bought this computer for my sister who is in a doctoral program. I used bootcamp and purchased a copy of windows and installed it for her so she can use Microsoft Office in Windows which she is used to but also have the option of the MAC OS. The display is beautiful and the lack of wires minus the power cord is awesome. It really is a beautifully designed computer, super fast and at a reasonable price point.

    Careful with these reviews

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iMac, in general, is an excellent all-in-one computer. However, these reviews apparently cover every iMac ever sold by Best Buy. EG I'm looking at the 2014 MF883LL/A and these reviews came up. The MF883LL/A, although new, is a low-price option from Apple, but it's a downgrade from previous iMacs. It only comes with a 1.4 ghz processor. Just saying, be careful.

    My 1st IMAC

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my first IMAC as I do have a pc desktop and laptop but i am just done with windows 8 so i figured i would give apple a shot. I have several Ipads and I have owned several Iphones I thought it wouldn't be that different but i guess from all my years as a pc user i am having a little trouble adjusting but I really have no complaints about the computer itself. I guess its just going to take some time to get used to it.

    It has a great display and decent processing speed, but lacks a CD-ROM, which seems like that's where most computers are headed.

    Awesome PC

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Hello readers, this computer is mainly used for personal and some work related use. I love the sharp monitor and wireless accessories, not to mention it's become an essential item for me. You can hook up your iphone to use imessage instead of texting, download your music and video on itunes. It's made my life so much more efficient.

    This computer is absolutly awesome. I have always had a PC and wanted to make the switch over to Apple but the prices have been a little out of my budget. I finally switched over and made the purchase. So far I absolutely love it. It takes a bit to get used to but I am glad a made the switch. The expensive price is definitely worth it!

    Great computer, but not perfect

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My wife is starting a second career as a graphic designer, so she needed an Apple computer. We've had this computer for about a month, and its working well so far. We did have a few problems with the keyboard syncing, that were eventually resolved. I left off the fifth star partly because of the keyboard issue, partly because of the incredibly terrible price to features ratio (for lack of a better way of describing it) of this (and all) Apple computers. They're great. But, unless you must have Apple (basically, if you're a designer of some sort) its tough to justify the price.

    Display is great and is very cosmetically pleasing. Have had no problems. I am able to do all my office work in an efficient manner. Can't really go wrong as this is one of the best all-in-one desktops around.

    Love my new iMac

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my first iMac home computer. Have 2 macbooks, Ipads, Iphones, we are an Apple family. So happy to have made this purchase. I will be working from home this year, and wanted a good reliable computer. I knew I couldn't go wrong with an Apple product, so far it has exceeded my expectations. My daughter also loves it, and will be using it to do her school work. I know I'll have this computer for years to come. One of my laptops is 6+ years and the only reason I upgraded it and bought a new one, is because cosmetically it needed a little makeover. My daughter has it now, it still works just fine. A+++ all the way!
