Ok But Not What I Expected

I'm a designer and I was looking to upgrade from my Macbook Pro. My laptop is a bit outdated but it is a workhorse. I usually have about 30 tabs open on my browsers with Illustrator, Photoshop, & Indesign running.
I thought that a brand new iMac would handle my usual pretty well but I was wrong. Every time I opened a program I had to wait. I did NOT handle well. This bothered me so much I returned it and upgraded to the 27 in 1TB fusion drive model. The 5k screen is beautiful and it does everything with speed and ease.
If you're looking for a workhorse desktop, this is not it. Upgrade and be sure to get a model with a fusion drive. It makes a huge difference.

I had been toying with idea of going to Mac for awhile. To finish my conversion. I have iPhone and iPad for awhile. They are work seamlessly together now. such ease in photos and documents on all the devices. I would recommend this level above the base level for the processor bump. my transfer to the world of mac has easy. I got files off old drives with no problem. Then realized I did not have a mac version of software for handling video camera. But found that iMac just recognized the camera when hooked up and automatically converted files when importing to mac. I an impressed and look forward to using this computer for many years.

I was a little weary to spend so much on a desktop computer but I'm so glad I did because this computer is amazing. It's very similar to the MacBook Pro but has a ton more storage and is much faster in my opinion. I use it for school and it does everything I want and then some.

These are by far the best computers in the business. I bought one of these for my Daughter in 2009 and it has had zero troubles. No issues, no viruses...nothing. The speed and functionality of these computers is unparalleled. I am tired of the problems with PCs so I bought an iMac for my new computer. I highly recommend iMac!

I have always used a PC never was an Apple user. My daughter has been trying to convince me to purchase one because she is so happy with all of MACs. I finally broke down and purchased one after buying the 6s phone as well. My computer is fast, compact and i love the keyboard and mouse. i highly recommend this computer.

We purchased an Apple computer after years of using Windows. It's really nice not having to worry about viral attacks, though the operating system and Windows adaptations are taking some getting used to. The sleek lines and minimal footprint don't clutter up the top of our desk, either. Very pleased with our purchase!

I have an iPhone and an iPad, but always had other brand name computers. I decided to spend the extra money this time and get a iMac desktop and it was SO worth it. I love the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. The screen is a good size and love to edit my pictures on such a great computer. Would def recommend!!!

I bought this as a replacement for for my 10 year old Mac. I am amazed at the improvement. It is enormously faster than its predecessor. I takes up half the space on my desk that the old one did. The screen is much larger and clearer. I spent twice as much as I intended to spend, but it was worth it.

Had trouble setting up my email accounts and Google contacts, but once I got it figured out then everything was smooth sailing. I run photoshop, illustrator, and inDesign without any trouble. The graphics are good and there is no lag when working in Adobe suite. I am very happy with my purchase.

We went from a PC to a MAC for the first time ever. I'm in my 40's and found learning a MAC to be very easy and wished I would given MAC a shot earlier on! I love the computer, graphics and the fact that the hard drive is located in the back of the monitor. Talk about light and compact. Great buy and I highly recommend.

Feels Elite when I bought the I Mac. I've been wanting to buy this for a long a time. My kids love it! Easy to use, just like using my I Phone 6S.The best thing I've loved is the less connection/wiring. Elegant looking... Performance at its best... Only regrets, I've waited for a long time...
