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.

    This is the second Mac I've owned. I gave my son my old Mac because I wanted a new one! I loved my MAC I will never purchase another brand. A Mac performs above and beyond anyone's expectation. I love it! You can't go wrong with a Mac!

    Faster than the non-fusion drive version. Like, light years faster. Everything else processor speed wise is nominal but the screen is beautiful.

    I had a hard time trying to decide between a laptop (which I have always had) and a all in one. I do not need it on vacation as I have retired. So the decision was a all in one and a iPad for travel. I am very happy with the all in one and not having to carry a laptop any longer.

    I didn’t believe any computer could be better than my old MacBook Pro, but this computer is better. First off, the display is stunning. Color and resolution is unbelievable. The convenience of the wireless keyboard can’t be beat. Finally, the speed is a giant step up from the MacBook.

    Best Computer I've Ever Owned

    I've had Macs since 1985, and have lost count of how many I've owned. This is clearly the best I've ever owned. The screen is large enough to see (I'm 59) but not so big as to overwhelm my desk. I have had no complaints in over a year with this iMac. Highly recommended.

    I absolutely love my new Mac! I wasn’t sure if I would like it because I am normally a laptop user, but is is so portable I can move it to any room in the house. The processor is so quick and the graphics are super sharp. You can never go wrong with a Mac!

    I have been a PC user since the beginning but have an iPhone and iPad which I love. I got tired of losing information on the PC and decided to use a device that was totally compatible with my mobile devices. The iMac was the answer for me. Love this all-in-one computer.

    perfect computer for home

    I have many Apple products from iPhones to iPads to MacBooks and even a new Apple Watch 4. The iMac is a welcome addition to the devices and fits in well. Information exchange is seamless and the iMac works very well for our home computer. It has a minimal footprint that allow it to stay out of the way when not in use on a small table but still allows for quick use and access. We use the builtin wireless networking for internet access and this is very fast. The wireless keyboard and mouse work a long time before a charge is required and are quickly regharged when placed on the lighting cable attached to the USB port on the iMac. The system is fast and the display is very clear and bright. This is just what we needed.

    Time for an upgrade over my last iMac bought several years ago and this new iMac does not dissappoint. Much faster processing speeds and the screen resolution is leaps and bounds over the last one. Ease of use is Apple trademark and this iMac is no different.

    This Mac is fast, efficient, easy to use, love the fact that it’s hard to hack a/ incredible security measures put in place, it’s got a great retinal display where it’s not a strain on your eyes. Overall I love it. Definitely worth the money for sure.

    It’s a learning experience, but absolutely love my IMac. Beautiful to look at and speedy to boot. It’s funny to think that my first computer experience was an Apple 2e in elementary school. Apple has come along way since then. Love this computer.

    I have Macbook Pro 15" and it is very slow when starting up the computer. So, I decided to buy another Apple product, iMac. Oh, it is very fast and it is not hot when I watch movie compared to Macbook Pro. I am very happy with this product.

    Had to return a new iMac that failed at home setup

    I bought this new iMac to replace my wife’s iMac that had a hard drive failure. That Mac was bought in 2011. Chose new machine as old one was not mechanically extendable. New iMac failed at home setup as it would not load apps. Spent several hours on phone with Apple support until they decided I wasn’t inept or insane. They agreed to an exchange for another new iMac. Best Buy was OK with this but I had to drive 30 miles across town to store with this machine in stock. New iMac now works great.

    This is my first Mac and I must say I have not been disappointed it seems to be well built ( Much better then most Windows PC's). I have not had to hard of time in learning the Mac OS everything seems straight forward and similar in some ways to Windows. Now for the downside when Apple designed the Keyboard and the Magic Mouse for this they must of been thinking of a smaller person. The Keyboard and Mouse are small and just don't cut it and but it can be taken care of. Other than that it is a good machine.

    This was my first iMac and it did not disappoint. Processing speed is like lightning. I thought it was going to be difficult to make the switch from PC to Mac but it is really user friendly with helpful guides to walk you through pretty much everything.
