    Compared to the PC this computer replaced, this is generations ahead in terms of ease of use, compact quality of system and larger screen for graphics. Love the fact it uses blue tooth technology.

    My wife and I purchased the Apple - 21.5" iMac mainly for college after one of our computers crashed and was unable to be repaired. We were searching for a computer that was reliable and would remain that way for many years. We have always heard great things about Apple products and after reading through reviews and doing a lot of research we knew that the iMac was the perfect computer for us.

    I love this computer. Large screen, great color on the screen, the speed is fast. I wish I did not have to pay extra for Microsoft Office, but that is what happens if you want a good desktop.

    My last two PC's have gotten viruses (I think as a result of my kids accidentally downloading things). I use an iPhone, iPad and iPod, so I decided to go ahead and get an iMac, so they can all communicate with each other. I have loved it! And I love that during the set up process, it walks you through copying your documents, pictures and e-mail from your PC. Granted, it took a couple of days for it to finish (I was using a wireless connection), but we were going out of town, so it worked for me. I checked some of the forums, and they said I could speed it up by using a wired connection, but since we were going out of town anyway, I set it up wirelessly. I highly recommend this product!

    Lots of decision making, but glad I finally decided to buy. We love the computer. Debated laptop vs desk top and really happy with the desk top. Very sleek, easy to set up. No complaints at all!

    I wanted to get a new Mac and after much research found this one to be be the most bang for the buck. My next best choice would be a MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Not needing a laptop I chose this desktop computer. Once the Haswell based 4th generation CPUs are in the Mac Mini that would also be a great Value if you already have a good monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The iMac is so nice due to the AC wireless and not needing any wires other than the power cord. It keeps the room clean and tidy way nicer than the traditional PC style computer with all the wires and large area that it consumes. Many less virus problems with the Mac makes it a nice choice for web browsing and email.

    As everyone knows Apple's iMac is a great machine. I have had no troubles with it and coming from a Windows platform I found the transition smooth and simple. Overall a great product.

    I love our new iMac. We originally had an Asus desktop but it crashed. We had to get a new one and it came with Windows 8...neither my husband nor I were fans of Windows 8 so we decided if we were going to learn an entire system over again now is the time to make the switch from PC to Mac. I'm glad we did. The only thing I am still getting used to is writing documents etc. Being a Windows baby makes this a challenging change! But overall great computer!!

    We needed to replace some aging computers, and were considering an HP Envy All-In_one, when the Best Buy Associate pointed out the Imac. Since we were already using Apple at home this was a good alternative. I am pleased with the Imac and expect it will last a bit longer than the HP product.

    The newest version come with 8GB of memory and a 1 TBi nternal Hard Drive and a blue tooth wireless key board which makes it ideal for sitting back in your chair and resting the keyboard in your lap. The one problem if your burning DVD/CDs you will need to purchase a external HD/DVD/CD unit.

    Computer is high functioning but will not be getting 5 stars because of the lack of a cd drive. A $1200 computer should have a cd/dvd drive.
