Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the 21.5" iMac's ease of use, large screen size, and performance. Many appreciate its design and the benefits of the Fusion Drive, although some find the price high and wish for more RAM. A few also noted the lack of a CD drive. Overall, the positive feedback on usability and performance outweighs the concerns about cost and limited upgradability.

    My monitor on my old iMac 21.5 went out the other day. Every thing was on this machine and fully backed-up. It was not a hard decision to go with the newest iMac 21.5. During the set-up the iMac very simply lead me to restore the new machine with the back-up hard drive. I would not want to be left without my family photos or all of our tax and banking info on the older machine. It was not a hard choice to purchase the newest iMac available. Not an expense I wanted but one I would do again.

    This was an emergency purchase when the hard drive on my MacBook pro was failing. It runs Photoshop and Lightroom simultaneously without any issues. Logic has been running without a hitch, and video edits are moving without lag. Have yet to test out After Effects but so far, so good. I probably should have gotten something a little more powerful and faster for larger video files (4k, 6k).

    This was an excellent buy. 3.4 mh i5, 1TB Fusion drive, 4GB Radeon 560 Video Card, 21.5" Retina display, A great price compared to the Apple store. Biggest drawback was the 8 GB memory. About 6 months later I bought a 16GB upgrade kit for $150.00. Took a while, few weeks of watching videos, and I took it apart and added the extra memory. Not near as difficult as I made it out to be, Great improvement in performance. Well worth the upgrade and cheaper than having apple do it and I got good experience working on this. Want to do CPU upgrade next to i& 7700. Almost the same as putting in the memory which took about 4 hours including breaks, Most of the time was in detail work. Put the memory in ad booted right up no problems. Very pleased with myself. Thank you youtube for their videos. Fusion Drive is great but when 1TB SSD drive come down that's next. Thing s cause it's Apple it will retain it's value and still be current. IE worth putting money into it. Don't forget the 4K Retina screen. Beautiful to look at.Later I bought an external blu ray recorder player. Perfect set up. But that extra 8GB made a big difference in video processing and with the processor that is in it you can go as high as 64GB. I figured 16 was enough for me and 32GB would have been overkill. Doesn't invalidate the warranty if you live in California. But see if you can get some of these upgrades tthru Best Buy. Charge it all. AS a long time Windows user this reinvigorated to computers again and it's not worthless in a few years. Check resale prices, you'll see. Good luck and Happy Computing.

    I had an older PC that I ran a couple of monitors and several demanding programs, usually simultaneously. I finally gave up on the constant Windows 10 updates with their ridiculous problems and starting running the setup on my MacBook Air. It really tried, but the 4 GB memory really made it tough on it. I was in BB one day and the iMac was on sale and I got it. LOVE it. I wondered if the 8GB would be enough, but no problems.
