Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the ease of use, large screen size, and performance of the 21.5" iMac as significant advantages. Many appreciate its elegant design and sufficient storage. However, some find the price to be high and the hard drive relatively slow. Concerns were also raised regarding the lack of a CD drive and limited RAM upgrade options.

    The chipset on this is better than the model below for moderate gaming. They use same chip in retina version but the higher resolution becomes more of a burden on the integrated graphics card. I bought for daughter as her first mac and shes loving it.

    I went to Best Buy to buy a new mac book, but after talking to the apple specialist there we discussed primary uses and decided my money would be better spent on an iMac. His knowledge was greatly appreciated and I couldn't be happier with my iMac.

    You can't! They just work right out of the box. The migration assistant is a perfect piece of software that transfers info from your old computer to your new one flawlessly. I converted from windows years ago and haven't looked back since. Go Apple!

    I have previously owned PC desktop computers which invariably get infected with malware, viruses, etc. After much prodding by my loved ones, I decided to purchase this Apple desktop. My first surprise was that there is no "tower" containing CPU, hard drive, etc. This alone saves workspace on my already cluttered desk. The computer itself took me a while to adjust to but is actually very user friendly. I installed windows office which I'm familiar with and was able to transfer all my existing files. I would recommend this computer to others.

    I would recommend to get this desktop with fusion drive, which will help to speed up the opening of apps.

    When comparing Mac to the available PCs, the choice was obvious- longer life was the biggest seller. I guess it's normal for Mac to sell the cd drive separately which I wasn't thrilled about- after all, I'm spending a lot of money on the computer. But, other than that, I love the computer. We use it for basic household necessities. Email, homeschool curriculum, pictures, etc. I know this may seem obvious, but with small kids, it's nice having a wireless mouse and keyboard to hide away in the desk drawer to avoid damage.
