This is a great computer! The screen looks amazing. The hybrid drive is perfect for most users. The only complaint I have is that this model isn't available with a solid state drive. You can always purchase a SSD separately and mount it as an additional drive. Siri is very useful to new Mac users. Once you get the layout down, it is very user friendly. Sound is great, input devices are great, it takes up very little room on my desk, and it looks great! I am extremely happy with this purchase.

The last time I had an iMac it was back when they were funky multi coloured semi transparent cool looking boxes. Things have changed a bit, now they are super slim UHD 4k streamlined sliver dream machines that just sing quality. CD and DVD drives have been ditched along with CTR tunes and you now have a PC that has such a high density pixel count it’s imposible to actual see the tiny squares anymore on the Retina display. It’s easy to see why designers like myself choose these machines. You can stand up, sit down or move left and right in your seat and the colour and brightness on screen remains constant at all times. The operating system is flawless and puts windows 10 to shame. That said, you can if you want actually give over some of your hard disc space and install Microsoft’s inferior platform on the Mac as a dual boot option and it’s so easy to do it’s surprising. There’s plenty of connectivity with USB 3, Thunderbolt and SD card slots. The built in speakers are pretty decent but lack good bass. You get the super slim rechargeable wireless mouse and keyboard which are beautiful to look at.
All in all it’s a piece of art that looks like a computer. It runs flawlessly and that you can get this from Very on 12 months interest free option (as long as you pay it off at the end of the 12 months) is a bonus. Apple have done it again and have proven they even though they still only have a tiny slice of the personal computer market they know how to build stunning PCs that are as nice to look at as use.

I had been wanting to upgrade to an all in one iMac for some time. I'm glad I finally did. Set up was easy. I thought I would probably need geek squad to come out and set up for me but I had no problems getting it set up. The resolution is amazing. Love that the mouse and key pad can be charged with included charger and I don't have to worry about not having batteries on hand when it was time to replace batteries.

This was purchased to replace an older iMac. Loved my old one but the graphics chip failed after 7 years. This new unit is significantly thinner and faster. I love that there was an option for a separate graphics card. I do a lot of photo and graphic design work and the 4K display is phenomenal for this.

I have not had an apple computer for quite a while as the price is high compared to other competitors, but having an iPhone,iPad,and a iWatch, it made sense to once again go with an iMac... and boy are we glad we did

I owned a 27' inch mid-2010 iMac that had worked like a champ, but finally met its maker at the end of 2017. Knowing the history of flawless operation, I knew I wanted another iMac, but this time opted for the smaller model, and let me say I wasn't disappointed. I thought there would be an adjustment period to the smaller 21.5-inch screen, but there wasn't. This baby is a lighter version of my old one with improved performance at 3.4 GHz.
I'm perfectly happy with it. If you're thinking about one, it's worth the extra few hundred for a better processor — it's an investment worth making.

Upgraded from my previous iMac. Nothing wrong with the older one, but this will last for another 11 years or so. I will always recommend this item to anybody. Fast and efficient, no extra junk that you don't need or use.

This iMac is the best computer I’ve owned. It’s sleek and so easy to use. I’m so happy I left the world of PCs and switched to iMac. Better than a MacBook with a bigger screen and way more storage for the money.
