    I have been an Apple computer owner since the beginning, late 1993. I bought my first tiny Apple Performa from Best Buy that year, never looked back. I have grown along with Apple...this is my fifth computer and they continue to amaze me. I like how seamlessly the iMac interacts with my iPad. I love how fast this latest iMac processes. The display is crisp, brilliant, adaptable. The wireless keyboard is responsive. The screen/computer is so sleek and takes up very little desk space. It was easy to upload the free latest operating system and transfer my former computer contents. I will always buy Apple computers. So happy that Best Buy is selling them again. A great reseller of Apple products.

    I was in the market for a new computer. I have been through several PCs in the last nine years. I was tired of not having a reliable computer, and I am not impressed with windows 8. I decided to go with a Mac. I have had good experiences with other Apple products, and I wanted to be able to use iMovie as my video editing software, so this was a good purchase all the way around.

    I have never owned an Apple computer, so I was a little apprehensive about purchasing one. The fact that its virus protection was so much better than that of a PC convinced me. I have been able to navigate the installation and the programs easily. In fact, this computer is so easy to use that I talked my 72 year old father into purchasing one! He has had no trouble using it!

    This is my first purchase of an iMac. Although I have had an iPad for some years and find it very easy to use. It is taking some time for both in the house whole to adjust to where to find things, we continue to discover things that we like about the machine. The small keyboard is the biggest adjustment. On the other hand the nice large screen is tremendously helpful.

    This is an excellent Apple product. I use it for both personal and business obligations. It has so many features that are amazing and fun to use. Now if you have never owned a Apple computer like myself, it can be intimadating. For example the keyboard commands are all different from microsoft. I actually had to print off a list from Apple.com to assist me with certain things. Its only a small learning curve. The preinstalled programs all work flawlessly and are fun to use. I was amazed at how powerful they are. If your into photography, music, video etc. I recommend this system. Microsoft also released their Word programs to Apple which can be purchased seprately. I suggest doing so if you want to still enjoy that luxory. All in all I highly suggest this system. The updates are informative and easy to install and you will be very satisfied with this investment!

    I have used a windows computer all my life. I recently purchased a mac desktop a few months ago from Best Buy, and I am obsessed with my mac! It is fast, and so easy to use... A little to get used to, but it is AMAZING!!! I am currently saving up for a mac book. The screen resolution blows my mind at how crisp and clear it is. I do wish it had a CD/DVD drive though.

    Best computer I ever bought. It's a lot easier to set up and use than a windows computer. Great for pictures and light video editing. Love the design. It's so thin, I don't know how they put so much power in such a small space. I love the display and the Harmon kardon system I bought with it.

    I replaced a 2007 imac with this new one. I wish I would have done it sooner. This Quad Core unit is at least twice as fast. The screen clarity is fantastic. Much clearer that my 07 unit. The only thing I had to add was the external SuperDrive and things were wonderful. I would highly recommend this unit for either the 1st time buyer and as a replacement unit.
