    Best Computer I have Ever Owned!

    Friends and family have always told me how much better an Apple Computer is than a PC, now I know. I started with an IPad that I got as a gift. Then I changed my Android phone to an iPhone, but was still using my outdated PC. Now that I have finally replaced my PC with an IMac, I can really see the benefits. The Support Team was very helpful in getting my files crossed over and getting everything in sync.

    I bought this computer for school work. My laptop had recently broken and I decided to get a desktop instead bc I never really took my laptop out of the house. This iMac was perfect size and more affordable. They display is spot on and functions very fast. I am pleased with my purchase.

    My 21.5 iMac is well built, run good, but I needed a SDD upgrade because the hard drive is slow and with the SSD It will run fast and you’ll get more out of the iMac.

    An excellent camera for a beginner. The photos are excellent. The camera is very light, easy to use, and surprisingly inexpensive. I purchased this item in Hawaii and took excellent photos. Also the download program is very easy to use. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to take great photos with an easy to use camera.

    Super simple but fast and efficient computer. It works great in my office and easily connects to my other Apple products; love the wireless ability of keyboard and mouse but wish the keyboard was bigger.

    I've never owned a MAC. I have had two iPads and I use iPhones, but never a MAC. I must say it is easy to use and great for my writing. I would recommend this computer to anyone who doesn't like complicated technology. Setup was super easy.

    I went to Best Buy to purchase a new MacBook Pro. The cost of them was double the price of the iMac desk top. I really didn't need portability so I purchased the iMac. Keyboard and mouse are wireless Bluetooth and recharge with included USB. I love the slim monitor that takes up very little space. I'm happy with my new i Mac.

    I have this computer for a month. I switched from a Dell desktop. This iMac is elegantly designed. It does not take up much room either. It is very user friendly. I would like the wireless keyboard to have the numbers on the right of it not just on top. I also have an Apple iPhone 6. I love that the pictures I take on the phone are automatically transferred to the computer. I can text and FaceTime with other iPhone users.

    Have had Windows PC's since day one. After upgrading to Windows 10, tried going back to 7 (I didn't like 10). It fried my hard drive. I'm DONE with Windows PC's. Went straight into BEST BUY. Told the salesman, "gimme that Mac." It's the best thing I've ever done computerwise. I couldn't believe how simple it was to set up. All that came in the box is a screen, a mouse and a keyboard. All wireless. Gorgeous screen resolution. Speed and capacity are exactly what I needed. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer every time they come up with a new operating system. This should be the last computer I'll ever need. That makes this Mac definitely worth the price. Buy the best, and you'll only have to buy it ONCE.

    I had no trouble switching to a MAC for the first time. It is easy to use, and more dependable than the computers that I have had in the past that can and do get viruses. It takes up so much less room because the monitor, tower and speakers are in one.

    The iMac pc is the best purchase I've made. I'm very satisfied with the quality of Apple iMac. This is my first Apple PC. I've been using PC through out my life. I'm glad that I've made the switch to Apple. In terms of quality, the iMac offers absolutely the best performance in graphics, speed, and reliability. It is simple to operate, no hassles when it comes to installation. It has a single power cord, that's it. The slick design and clean liines of the monitor is stunning. I couldn't be happier. This is a truly remarkable product. Very very happy to own my first iMac PC.

    I have always used windows systems and I was a little hesitant about this purchase. It was a lot of money vs. what a Windows PC would cost me... Having an iPad and an iPhone already it seemed to make sense to go with an iMac. Once I got it home I set it up and OH HOW SIMPLE!!! It took me about two weeks before I was real comfortable with it and still yet I learn something new almost every day about it! It has a great picture and it is fast. Though some programs seem to lag just a little to open, I remind myself that I did not buy the top of the line fastest processor! It is plenty fast for running my home business and what I do on the internet.

    I am a longtime PC user and gave considerable thought to whether I wanted to move to a Mac or stay with a PC. I read numerous positive reviews about the iMac and decided to buy. It's been about a month since purchasing the iMac and I absolutely love it. There's a bit of a learning curve to get accustomed to the IMac, but nothing too complicated. The seemless integration between my iPad and iMac had been a huge plus as well. The iMac is user friendly, extremely fast and easily customizable with the apps available in the App store. I would encourage you to buy the iMac if you've been considering making a purchase.
