    This is 1 2017 computer. Nowhere on the website does it say you're getting an older compter.

    If this is how an Apple is supposed to work I don’t know what to do. I’ll just say that I’m 61 years older and can work faster than the processor can. Sad. I cannot get any help from the geniuses at the “Bar”. I’ll buy PC next time for half as much and feel better about getting the same bad service.

    I was excited to get a quality all-in-one. The unboxing was simple, basically turn it on and go. Then the slowest hard drive takes over and opening programs, files and simple tasks are a chore for this computer. I returned the computer as quickly as I could. If you’re looking for an iMac, opt for the Retina display with 256GB SSD.

    Extremely slow, constantly got stocked, cannot manage more then 2 apps open, was not able to manage video conferences. I tried to returned in March and due the pandemic was impossible, so I had to live with this junk for 4 months, worst experience ever, is so frustrating, especially due the price paid.

    This is the second Mac I have purchased from Best Buy since May and both have been horrible. I have always been a Mac user and have never had computers as bad as these. About to send this one back and give up on Best Buy for Macs. (The first one I received came in an OPENED BOX!)

    The intel Core i5 is terribly slow. I almost gave up on the iMac until I purchased one with the Apple M1 chip. Apple should've never put an Intel chip in their product.

    So I paid $1200 when this came out. The first month it worked great, after that it has become the slowest computer I’ve ever owned. I wish I had never bought this thing.

    Fantastic computer

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

    This is the best thousand dollar desktop computer Apple has ever built. It's ideal as a silent desktop computer for doing everyday non-gaming tasks in a small home office or den. So it's an iMac. The i5 in this computer feels a lot faster than the numbers would suggest. The 5400-rpm hard drive is this system's achilles hill but most of the time it doesn't slow the thing to a crawl if sticking to everyday tasks like browsing or Microsoft Office. Despite the hard drive it is still a great iMac and a fantastic desktop computer.

    I did my research as I am an avid windows user. Two years ago I purchased my daughter a MacBook ( which she loves, and has never given her a problem). Set up was easy as 1,2,3 and the use, well I let's just say that I have a few things to learn. But we love it!! Apple makes a great product.
