    Had to get used to a new system, had an old Windows box since 2002 that I tried to upgrade several times but gave up - very nice and classy piece, will take time to learn how to use

    My daughter needed a new computer to finish up College. This one is perfect for her. It was so easy to order online and she was able to pick it up at a Best Buy near her.

    A few years ago I made the pitch to Apple/Macs. I'm a fan and would give great reviews to my MacBook, iPads, and iPhones. However, this particular iMac version is dreadfully slow. I understand it's a bottom of the line model, but it can't get out of its own way. I'm past the warranty date and I've tried all the "fixes" offered by support. It appears to be a crappy hard drive. If you don't mind waiting 40-60 seconds for texts to send, programs to open, commands to reposed etc, then go ahead.

    I love my new iMac. The only bad thing in the Specs it says it has HDMI port and it doea not. You have to buy an adapter for HDMI. Once I got an adapter it worked perfect.

    This computer may be good , but I don't know. I had to pay someone on line. Allot of money to get it setup so it would run correctly. No help from anyone. Apple didn't even send a book with it. I am a windows user and this thing is like greek to me .If you buy a apple don't expect any help from anyone without paying them big money.

    This machine is so quick and can handle anything! Would recommend doing the MacOS Mojave update - best update yet if your a heavy computer user. Apple never disappoints!

    I bought the "bottom of the line" in terms of memory and speed. I have found it to be quite adequate for my personal usage. great acquisition for me.....

    Mac always made the best computers. This is my 4th iMac purchase. For my wife. I’m still using my late 2009 iMac. Nowhere close to being obsolete. Best computers ever

    Best Buy has always been our “go to” for TVs, computers and phones. The service is personal and the sales staff have always been knowledgeable about the products.

    We replaced an older iMac with this one. It’s slimmer, lighter and has a more current display. The mouse and keyboard are now rechargeable, not battery operated.

    Apple is always known to make solid products, while overly priced. Was a pretty fast Mac until I transferred my backup hard drive data to it, then it was just as slow as my old Macbook. So maybe it was just me but it went from fast to extremely slow.

    It was a slow start getting it set up and things transferred over. The computer was sluggish to begin with but it is up and running well now. I wish it had an optic drive for my DVD's like my old iMac.
