This was an excellent buy. The fusion drive is much faster than the standard drive. Beautiful screen and snappy performance.

I replaced an older I-Mac with this product (Apple - 21.5" iMac® (Latest Model) - Intel Core i5 (3.4GHz) - 8GB Memory - 1TB Fusion Drive - Silver I-Mac). It's slimmer, sleeker, lighter. It's quick like a rabbit. The visual clarity is terrific. And - I didn't know this, but bonus: both the wireless keyboard and mouse are rechargeable - no batteries required - just plug them into the I-MAC.

At first my new iMac just took over for me and I didn't know what was happening. But once the excellent tech support helped me I found it great to work with. I am dissatisfied that Best Buy didn't let me know that I could upgrade my keyboard to one with a numerical pad for only $30 more at the time of purchase instead of trying to sell me accessories that I didn't need.

I have used Macs since they were first introduced and this model contains the expected improvements.
Good things:
Nice bright, high resolution screen
Speakers sound good enough that external speakers are not needed
Fast enough processor and graphics for me.
Fusion drive boots reasonably quickly.
Typical Apple system stability
Bad:
Overpriced
Wide monitor bezel. The computer size is too large for a 21.5 inch monitor.
Screen is too high for people with bifocals. Should have adjustable screen height.
Fusion drive is a weak substitute for a SSD. SSD's are way too expensive
Difficult to open to install a SSD

This is my first apple computer and it hasn't been hard to figure out. I really like the compact size with the computer and monitor all in one unit. Stays cool, its quiet, very fast from my experience, and the screen clarify and color is over the top. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

My son has been on me for a few years to get a Mac. I wish I would of listened to him to computers ago. Very easy set up. Easy to learn and I am not super great with computers. The set up went very smooth. It takes a bit to learn a few of the short cuts, but once you learn them you wonder how you lived without them.

I just upgraded from my 2013 iMac. I hated to make the upgrade as my 2013 is running great, but I need a faster processor for my ESL online business. The fusion drive in this iMac has made all the difference. I no longer have a lag in audio and video when conferencing with my students! I hate to say it, but I really needed this computer! I got it for a great price, so I'm thrilled with the purchase.

The iMac is a workhorse, This is my second iMac and the only reason I upgraded is that my first iMac was getting to "that point" where it was not going to upgrade because of age. This computer is a rocket...and it's gorgeous. Forget Windows. Get a real computer
