    IMac is the best in reliability, and you can use all software. The best computer we have ever owned and the best money can buy. Will purchase a new one when needed.

    I bought it because I’ve purchased Apple products in the past. I was pleasantly surprised about how nicely it was designed and the ease of use for a small child.

    It's a Mac, it's not the cheapest but it's always simple and easy to use. I've had Windows computers in the past and they never last more than 2-3yrs before something critical happens or it slowing down heavily but my last Mac lasted 6yrs before having any HD problems. Is Mac better than Windows? I'm not saying that but what I am saying is that I prefer to buy Mac over Windows.

    This is an amazing computer. Takes up little space on my desk. Could use some more internal memory though as it runs not as fast as you fill it up (I need a LOT of internal storage though). Huge screen, can even watch movies on it!

    I have owned and used many Mac/Apple computers since 1984 as well as a small number of MS-DOS laptops and desk top units. I love this computer in every way except for the ridiculously awkward and troublesome access to the guts of the system. Getting into the computer is only possible by removing the front screen and that should not be done by an amateur. However, that being said, I love the ease of use and picture quality. It works beautifully with the wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Perfect for my home use. and the price was right.

    This is Mac #6 for us - our 5th is from 2012 and 4 is from 2009. The computer is an excellent upgrade and it was a breeze to set it up using time machine.

    I really like enjoy using this Mac everyday. I’m a graphic design student so I’m always working with Adobe and have multiple pages open and this Mac handles it well. I’ve even used Animation software like Maya Autodesk and could handle it easily. Its very pleasing because of its sleek design.

    Love that this desktop is so thin and takes up little space on an already cluttered desk. I was also please to see the amount of usb ports located on the back. The mouse can be a bit smoother but I think I just need to get a better mousepad. Overall I love the image quality and speed of this computer. I've been wanting one for a while and I do not regret this purchase.

    I bought the low end of this machine given my basic use tendencies. After reading up on other customer's comments, I decided to return it because I too witnessed the slowness of the computer. All in all, I loved the sleekness of the design. The unit fits really nicely on a small desk I bought. It's light weight and portable if you need to move it. I also love the wireless mouse and keyboard. No wires cluttering up my workspace is appreciated! The large screen was another big selling point, as well as all the various jacks/ports on this machine. Too many computers don't offer a lot of these outlets and you must buy a bunch of expensive adapters. One really bad thing I noted was that my internet was depleted in the short time I had this machine. I had a hot spot that tanked in my data allotment in no time. And no, I had not been using the computer very much. I have been using two laptops and my phone on this hotspot for years now and never experienced that happening. I am told to expect this with any of the new computers on the market today. (The last computer I bought was at Chrsitmas 2014.) Even worse, when I tried to set the computer to factory reset in preparation for the return, it once again sucked up all my internet without completing the process. I estimated it would take upwards of most 6 hours to reload the software. Insane! It used to didn't be this way. Lesson here is make sure you have top grade internet service because the constant updates will apparently burn through your data allotment. The low end model is also slow. It would take longer than it should to open files. Don't know what that was about. But for the price and newness of the equipment, I expected it to be lightening fast. Back it went. Performance didn't match its beauty.
