    My wife and I have debated for years if we should spent the money for the IMAC. After several years of trying laptop after laptop, we decided to give IMaC an try. We feel this product is awesome and worth every penny. I truly recommend for any computer user to buy this product.

    Quality, Looks, Performance & Value. Everything you expect from an Apple, I got on my new iMac. Can do just about anything with iPad & iPhone, but still need a computer. And could not justify spending $1500 plus on a laptop. Got more by going back to a desktop.

    I bought the 21 but it didn't have enough power to render video and photos. I was not thrilled with the fusion drive but has enough power to and speed for what I need to do. Great Computer. Definitely would recommend this computer to anyone who takes photos for a living.

    1st iMac purchase. Bought to link other apple products and other uses. It is easy to use and learn the differences from the years of standard PC windows. Overall we are very happy with the purchase. Can’t go wrong with any of the apple products so far.

    Bought and iMac over 10 years ago. Works great. So when our granddaughter needed a computer for homeschool, I knew the exact one we were getting. The sales clerk was very helpful also. He helped us decide on a computer and iPad with more memory. Very nice guy also.

    After a great buying experience and learning about all the product options and finally making a decision on the Mac, I couldn’t be more pleased. The speed, quality, and multiple functions of this machine have made my medical school career so much easier.

    A little slow in my opinion and mouse feels odd. Keyboard is too small, but it is a MAC and operates well.

    Changing from a Windows PC to an iMac is a bit of a challenge. Moving data and photos is easy so far though I'm not completely finished. The Apple short cuts are helpful. The screen resolution is wonderful. Will know more after I attend the free classes offered by Best Buy.

    I've had Macs since they first came out 30 or so years ago. The only thing about this new one that's disappointing is that it comes with a bluetooth mouse, but a plug-in keyboard. Otherwise a great machine.

    I really like the crisp screen and Keyboard. The Magic Mouse is magnificent. As I have used Windows office before and have a lot of old files, together with cooperation with a company in the Windows world, I have installed Office 365 which works well on iMac.

    We purchase this iMac for our business and some home use and it works flawlessly with everything we through at it! I love how sharp and clear the screen is! Apple does an amazing job in their hardware and software as always! Will buy another one this year!

    In hindsight, I should have bought the non-retina version of the iMac or a MacBook and connected an external monitor. The computer is also slow and frequently displays the orange beachball. Also, the RAM and hard drive are not upgradeable. I like Apple products and would not buy a PC for home use, but Apple really needs to provide more value for its products.

    I purchased this computer for my 90 year old mother. She has only used PCs in the past and she was very apprehensive about this Apple. It took her less than two seatings to be able to navigate the internet. She (and I) are very pleased with this purchase.

    Excellent Mac for Everyday Computer Tasks

    I've had my iMac for 2 weeks now. I went from Windows 10 to the Mac OS and being that I hadn't used a Mac in quite a while (my first computer was a Mac SE30) there was a bit of learning to do. It only took me a short time but I was up and running full ahead, The display is beautiful and even at 21.5", it's huge for my uses. 8Gb memory works just fine but I will eventually upgrade to 16Gb to speed up a few processes. The 1Tb drive is more than adequate, I only wish it was a bit faster. The wireless keyboard and mouse, I've still not needed to charge them yet. And this Apple Mouse 2, I love it! It operates like no mouse I've ever used. Overall this iMac is perfect for me. Screen size is just right and overall performance is just right. My iMac is mostly used for email, letter writing, YouTube and Netflix, using iMovie to edit my home movies and photos and accounting software (Quicken).
