    It's an iMac. I expect it to perform and it generally does. Occasionally it'll have glitches but so do other computers. Overall I'm happy with it.

    Don't Buy this one. Very Disappointed

    Have you ever gone running up to the Ice Cream truck to get your favorite frozen treat only to be disappointed when you unwrapped your favorite and found only a stick? Remeber when Charlie Brown really wanted some Halloween candy - but all he got was a rock? Welcome to the 51.5 iMac. If you are looking for a sleek attractive paperweight, then buy it. However, if you are seeking a computer that you hope lives up to the hype and delivers on at least a portion of your hopes and desires - well friend - you are going to be sadly disappointed. You will be Charlie Brown holding a sack with a few rocks in the bottom. I have owned this lovely machine for 29 days and it crashed and crashed hard. The only fix (since I am beyond the 15 day BB return policy) is for me to take it to an Apple store and pay for a repair. The online support has been rude and snobbish. They seem to forget that I just paid a thousand hard earned dollars for this thing less than a month ago. The error started after a normal Apple update, After Reboot the system went into some sort of error that essentially left me with an option to reformat the computer. Sad. Very diasappointing. I have an iPhone and an iPad and an MacBook. This is by far my worst ever Apple experience and sets the tone for future purchases - of other brands!

    I love my Mac computer. I work on a PC at work and to me it can't match up to the Mac Computer. Sound/Speaker could be louder Screen size is great!

    I had used this product before so was familiar with the many features available, however it could be a little difficult to navigate had I not used this system before. I was disappointed that I did not have a software program for office, etc but found there was free downloads available through apple.

    Incredibly slow. Probably due to the hard drive. It just wasn't worth it. The only reason to get a mac is for the touch pad and laptop build quality. Desktop mac feels clunky to me. not a fan of the mouse or keyboard either. The only think going for it is no clutter easy setup. Traded it in for a 12 inch macbook and felt much better.

    Having always owned a pc, I was somewhat skeptical about the initial cost of the I-Mac and whether the cost would be worth it. But thus far i have enjoyed every feature I have explored with this new computer. Not to mention with only one cord on the whole thing it is sweet looking.

    the fact that it has no tower, is a big space saver. i use it a lot for organizing our family photographs. the photo software that came with the unit works well to help me sort through things and get them organized.

    I guess it could be a little less expensive, but I personally would not want Apple to compromise their integrity or quality simply for a couple bucks. This is my second Mac desk top and I also have a Mac Book Pro and I wouldn't trade them for all the windows based units out there.

    I upgraded from my old iMac circa 2002. Loving the upgraded OS and wireless keyboard and mouse. There are new features, but still all intuitive and easy to learn. Used my external time machine drive to transfer files, programs, etc. from my old desktop. Couldn't have been easier!

    Took me a while to make the decision to switch from HP to Apple but I love this computer and I'm so glad i did. I was worried that my genealogy files in an old version of Word wouldn't transfer over well but they did!

    I've had this computer for over a month and spent the money because I heard Mac's are awesome and reliable. However, within this month, I've experienced frequent freezes when just opening programs such as Microsoft Word and while I try to access the internet. The computer runs a lot slower then my HP lap top that I've had for over 5 years and it takes hours to upload anything. I am very disappointed with this purchase.
