    Our whole experience is about "Quality". From the sales staff to the product in use at my home. Everything was great. Thank you Best Buy and Apple for another quality experience.

    I'm not a real tech-kind of guy. I do know, however, that I haven't had problem 1 out of this computer yet. I went from an HP laptop to this, and I love it. Of course, there is a learning curve to deal with, but I've pretty much gotten it figured out. Everything is streamlined and connectivity is great, especially for use with other apple products. Like I said, I'm not a big tech person, but I can tell you for a regular person who just needs a reliable computer, this will do what you need to do.

    I love it the only thing about it. There is no dvd drive and magic jack won't work on it but it's still a good computer. I should've gotten the 27 inch

    Bought this to replace an all in one HP that was 3 years old. I never liked it. Got a great deal on this-sale for 899.00 with price match for Micro Center. So easy to set up. It connected to wifi and found printer on its own. I don't know how it works but iPhone, iPad and Mac Air are all connected. Love the display, wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse. GET ONE!

    I took my time doing research before my purchase. I was a PC user and switching to Mac. I wanted to make sure I could transfer Photoshop from my PC to a Mac, and it was just a simple chat with Adobe. So I was at Best Buy a few times prior to my purchase of the Mac. Cody was very helpful and informative and answered all my questions. The day I bought the Mac, Nikki helped me and she was very informative also. This location at Mid Rivers was sold out of the iMac but we we able to pay for it here and pick it up at the Chesterfield Best Buy. Everything went smooth at both Best Buy locations. When I got home, the Mac was very simple to set up, as all Apple products are. Once I downloaded the Mac version of Photoshop the real power of this computer was revealed. My PC was so slow to open this program, as my computer got older it slowed even more. On the Mac Photoshop opens in the blink of an eye. Looking forward to taking more pictures! Thanks Nikki & Cody, you were both very helpful.

    As long as you can overlook the price, this is a great computer. I like to run a lot of programs at once and do moderate video editing and so far i've never had this computer lag on me. really beautiful display as well.

    my daughter tried to get me to change many moons ago but I did not want to. I always had trouble with my old computer and one day I was really disgusted and changed. I like the big screen , the brightness, all the helpful items that tell me what to do if I have any trouble. One of my grandchildren seems to be interested in changing from his and I am encouraging him to do so. A great item. I also love my new square mouse.

    If you looking for an easy computer that will do everything you need and more....Apple iMac is the way to go. Easy to use, an app store that will have any app for business or personal, Extremely great looking computer and best of all only one power cord. No messing with all kinds of cords, this computer only has one power cord so your all set. Powerful, great graphics and excellent sound.

    Love this iMac

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

    As a frequent user of both PC's and Macs, I have to say that I always prefer the Mac. It's easy to set up and use, and it always just works! Any accessory is a snap to begin using. Even the minimum iMac is more than enough computing power for most users. The screen seems bigger than the 21.5" in the name. It is bright and sharp even if it isn't a Retina display. Beware that the newer generation of computers often don't have a built in disc drive. Most Apples and PC's are heading towards having everything imported to your computer via WiFi.This model follows that trend. Adding an external drive is cheap and easy (around $40). I bought this one for my parents who are both in their 80's as an upgrade from their 8 year old eMac. With a little adjustment to the newer OS, they were up and running in a very short time.

    A beautiful and reliable iMac base model

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

    This is my first Mac. I have used PC for over 20 years and yes I like it. You need to download the Maverick opertating system right away in order for this machine to work properly or otherwise you will feel some connectivity problems. I wish apple has provided at least the same pixel size as they offer with their 27 Macs but still display is beautiful and non-reflective. Sounds is really great. I don't need Bose speakers right away with this thing. It is indeed fast however, the boot up time for this base model is a bit slow because of the 5400 tmp disk. Best Buy is a good place to purchase it because they have the best technical advice and price for this product. I didn't use the trackpad with this computer yet but plan to do so ... let's see if I can get some better user experience with that. Overall, this is a good buy. I am happy with it so far.

Keyboard is perfect wireless sleek also user friendly. As the mouse is to wireless and also is very slick with the touch features it has. Would buy again!
