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.

    I would have given this 5 stars had there been an in store option for higher memory. 8GB just doesn't cut it these days, even for basic video streaming. I ordered a third party 32GB memory kit, upgraded myself in about an hour and it obviously made a world of difference. Happy to have a dedicated desktop again for work instead of relying on my laptop always.

    I have a 15inch MacBook Pro. I love it. But I need something to edit my photos. And this is a big help b cuz the screen size. The speed is fast enough to do my work. I’m glad I purchased.

    I had been using a 13-inch MacBook Pro but desired more screen space. When I looked at monitors I concluded that for a little more money I could get a whole new computer. This one was priced very well and Best Buy offers a good deal. The monitor size is smaller than most but WAY larger than my laptop so I am delighted with additional screen real estate. I have it in a constrained visible space so I did not want a screen as large as most computers; this was the perfect compromise between space constraints and large screen size. Of course it works perfectly just like every other Mac I have ever owned. It was surprisingly easy to set up and pair with my printer. As a bonus I finally have enough USB ports.

    Went to the Best Buy with cash in had to purchase the 2019 model which was on sale. This one was on sale also for $50 less than the 2019. Of course I would get the 2019 for the little difference. The sales rep was very knowledgeable of the Mac products. We got to talking and for what I do with a computer, quickbooks, email surf the web this one would also do the job. He offered it for less. A lot less than the 2019. I have a MacBook pro 2017 that is fantastic. So I went with this one and put a bunch of cash back in my pocket. This Mac is fast and very capable for what I do with it. I've been very happy with it. No regrets.

    Second IMAC

    This is my second IMAC. bought my first one back in late 2009, so it lasted for 10 years without any serious problems. The magic mouse and keyboard are tops! No more recharging and changing batteries. The last on was a 27 inch but this time I downsized to the 21.5. I still love it even though the screen is smaller! Used the Apple migration assistant to transfer all the important files to the new MAC. Great software! My only complaint about it was for some reason it did not transfer the bulk of my passwords from the password wallet. 10 years, no major problems, no viruses! Try that with a windows based machine! Love the Mac's!

    I purchased this as a replacement for an 8-year old iMac that was lost during a move. Like my old iMac, this computer is great for the type of work I do. It has a large, vibrant screen, can easily accommodate an additional monitor, and has the same easy to use feel every Mac owner is familiar with.

    Hubby got me this iMac for my birthday. It was simple to set up--just followed the online instructions. Importihg Word documents, photos, and my iTunes library was via drag and drop from a SanDisk to their proper folders on the iMac, not that different from doing the same thing on a PC. I picked up Google Chrome, Bing, and Outlook on the iMac right where I left them off on the PC--without losing a thing. So simple. I have been using my iMac for 3 weeks and am so glad I made the switch! Thank you Hubby!!

    21.5 iMac

    In the recent memory, a computer with the capabilities of this iMac would have cost many thousands of dollars. Not all that long ago, a 21" monochrome monitor would have been 5 thousand, and its electric consumption would have been very expensive. With that all in mind, this unit has a minimal desktop footprint, is very efficient to operate, is nearly silent, and makes nearly no heat. After that, it has excellent capabilities, includes all the software you are likely to need, includes very slick rechargeable wireless keyboard and mouse, for very low money. There are units made by lesser manufacturers, but you do get what you pay for. Or, in this case, I believe you get more than what you pay for.
