    So far I have been very pleased. I was concerned about the switch from Windows to Mac OS, but the simpicity of the Mac has lived up to the hype. I do not miss any of the PC clutter and bloatware.

    I love this computer - though the setup was slow.

    I really love this iMac, especially the pricepoint. BUT I will say that the setup was awfully slow and sometimes I feel it takes a little to get its juices pumping. Often my macbook pro (about 3+ years old) runs a bit faster. I use programs like Adobe XD, Slack, CyberDuck, Atom & Zoom (often all at once).

    The iMac with the large screen is great for working in Adobe Photo Shop or Adobe Premier. It's great for getting close up views of photos and has plenty of room for Video Editing.

    Got this for the bigger screen- I usually use laptops, but the bigger screen allows for better multi-tasking. Smooth enough processing. Works best if you pair it with iphones/ipads.

    I couldn't believe it, this iMac is a step up from my MacBook Pro, and my laptop is amazing already. It runs fast when I use it with music and video production, and pictures look great in it.

    Great all in one machine. Using this to run back of house for a church. It's running all our display and recording software without a problem. The display is like looking through a window.

    Bought this to replace a Windows desktop machine. Major complaint about the windows machine was that if you didn't use it frequently, when you stated to log on, it would take 'forever' to apply patches and just start up. For some this is enough to drive them mad. This machine just starts, period. No waiting, not slow installs, no automatic patches that reboot without asking. Much better experience. Transitioning from MS Windows to Mac IOS was easy, especially since a lot of phones are iPhones and the experience is very similar. Learning the keyboard shortcuts has taken a bit longer, but is not difficult.

    We have several of these iMac's in our office, and we find them to be reliable and fast and a great long term value. They tend to last much longer than employee laptops.

    This computer looks great! My desk is relatively small and the design is very unobtrusive. I use my computer mainly for word processing and I love the large, clear screen.

    Have not had any major issues so far. Screen resolution is great. A little pricey but I guess that is typical Apple. Some of the peripheral setup has not been as easy as previous Macs but that could daily be my lack of knowledge. My biggest hesitation was with the reliability of the drive and I won't know that for years.

    We moved away from PCs to Macs about 4 years ago. No longer am I replacing PCs every 6 months. These macs keep working PLUS they are still as fast as the day we bought them.
