    Apple 21.5 all in one is a great computer for home or business applications. Has a great widescreen with super graphics. Also comes with a fast powerful processor. It is very thin and lite. Easy to work with.

    This is my second Mac, I had a 2010 MacBook Pro that died a fantastic death early in the year. I have been saving for this iMac since. I was using a 11" yoga PC in the interim. so this beauty is a real step up. I don't need the big 4K screen since the iMac is going to be a foot in front of me. ( i have a small desk and the unit fits perfectly) I got the Quad Core b/c i didn't want to be limited in any of my applications i may run in the future . Right now i just use it for office work and social networking. No issues w/ the time machine back up of my old unit, the integration of siri and iPhone is seamless. i can iMessage from my desktop at any time which is kinda cool. i love my iMac!

    I've always been a Mac user, however I ran across some financial challenges and went to the dark side of computing (PC's). After returning two PC's for their terrible operating systems, I decided to wait until I had the money to get the computer I love. I'm super happy I did. I could've purchased one with the faster processor, but I stayed within my budget and am totally happy with the speed of this one. Macs never disappoint. Fast, user friendly, great screen resolution and pairs easily with wireless peripherals. It's not for everybody. You have to get use to it. I'll personally, never waste my time or money on a PC again. Save your money and make the purchase. You'll be glad you did.

    My apple office computer was on its last leg, I needed a replacement and fast, so I decided to head down to best buy and pick one up. This machine works like a dream. Not a single issue to report and does everything I need it to do. Of course Apple's are always on the expensive side but to my surprise it was on sale!

    I like this iMac's clean, simple arrangement of commonly used pre-loaded apps. Everything needed is easy to find and use. Tasks are simple and streamlined to perform without extra steps and 'work-arounds'. This computer is fun to use. I've used older Macs too and I still love them--but I can see lots of improvements that have gone into designing this newer model. I'm glad I got this computer. Since newer computers don't still need to have a CD drive or the old iPhoto program, if you're at all dependent on those, I recommend retaining the older computer you still may have for just those specific tasks. I would recommend this iMac el Capitan computer--I really like it.

    The last desktop I acquired was about 14 years ago. Since I've had 2 laptops and 1 iPad. Therefore I believed it was time to purchase a new desktop. I must say, I do not regret the purchase of this fine tuned machine. It provides lots of fun and it's an important tool to knowledge if it's well applied.

    After years in the PC world, thanks to the corporate world, I came to my senses and returned to the iMac. It is obvious the difference and intuitiveness of this amazing machine. A huge shout out to Tyler & Nico at BB for their assistance and answering my many questions!!!

    Love this Mac. Very easy to navigate, syncs up with all of my Apple products. Wish the charging port on the mouse that is included was in a different place so it can still be used while charging, but it holds its' battery really well and does not need to be charged often.

    APPLE IMAC BEST COMPUTER FOR HOME AND OFFICE USE

    THIS IS MY THIRD APPLE COMPUTER. I LOVE THAT IS VERY EASY TO USE, NO NEED TO SPEND ON ANTIVIRUS. YOU INVEST AROUND $1500 FOR A COMPUTER THAT IS GONNA LAST YOU NO LESS THAN 5 YEARS AND IT WILL PERFORM JUST AS GOOD AS WHEN YOU FIRST INSTALL IT. I HAVE AN OLD MAC 2011 THAT I USE ON A SECOND DESK SINCE I UPGRADED TO THIS NEW MODEL AND STILL WORKS SUPER FAST. I AM SO GLAD I DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH MICROSOFT COMPUTERS ANYMORE, YOU PAY LESS BUT THEY LAST YOU 1-2 YEARS AND THEN THEY GET SUPER SLOWER OR GET VIRUSES. MACS ARE THE BEST INVESTMENTS SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE USING THE COMPUTER DAILY FOR HOME AND BUSINESS.

    My windows based computer died trying to upgrade to Windows 10. I finally decided to make the switch to Apple. I was concerned about my wireless Logitech track ball and enhanced keyboard working with my IMac. Plugged in and worked instantly. Same with my HP printer. I was amazed how much easier to set up than my windows. Now I can use my apple TV, iPhone and Ipad together once and for all. Also the all in one takes up far less room than before. And finally I get tech support that knows what they are doing.

    Love love love my mac. It is so easy, so fast, so reliable. Compared to other operating systems, iOS is the most user friendly. It never crashes, never gets hung up. I've been using "the other" operating system for almost 20 years but I will never go back. I love the fast way it syncs with my other devices. It responds quickly to any command and doesn't get confused. I'm not a computer expert so I can't speak in technical terms. I can only compare to what I've had in the past. I am HAPPY!

    New to Mac, but held on to the old pc until she quit on me right before tax day. Boo! Late night online tech shopping can be dangerous, but the reviews made the iMac decision an easy one. Great resolution, compact and sleek, and incredibly beginner friendly. Truly: plug-in and you're off to the races. Sadly, I still had taxes to do....boo! Loving all my iPhone info on a huge screen! A little worried about my Apple support decision-not knowing how much help I might need. Was told that in-store techs are no longer able to provide support for Apple...I assume there's a reason. Jury's still out on that one. Overall, loving it so far!

    We were looking for a laptop originally and ended up choosing this desktop instead. So far it is the best desktop I have owed. We have had no issues with storage or it freezing like our MacBook was doing. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a new desktop!
