    Switched from Windows

    After Windows 10 automatic updates started messing with my computer and after market add ons. I decided to look into MAC computers. Then when iTunes became Apple Music my Windows software stopped recognizing my iPod. So I purchased this. Glad I did. My old windows computer finally crapped out during an update. After using Microsoft computers for over 18 years and not being much of a techno geek; there is still a bit of a learning curve for me. Looking forward to the experience.

    My first Apple computer. It took a minute to get used to but I love it! I like that everything works together; IPhone, iPad, and laptop.

    Need more RAM

    Did not work out of box as expected. Apple tech suspects issue is BB loading of WebRoot antivirus on machine when I already use Bitdefender may have been part of problem. I also wish someone had counseled me about possible issues of loading files from an external back up of a machine who's logic board went bad. I-Mac is working decently now after long calls with BB to get WebRoot removed and long call with Apple to determine issues and speed it up. (BB had to remove Web Root... I tried and Apple tech tried and it took the 2nd tier BB tech to get it off.) Except for a cleaner looking physical desktop and a better display than I had with my Mac mini (who's logic board died after 4 years!- but that's another story) .. I am satisfied with I Mac but wish I had been willing to wait to get one with at least 16GB of Ram (all you can get immediately from store is one with 8GB and you can't add RAM to 21.5" after you buy it. I wish I had known that when I bought as well. I am not a gamer and do not do serious graphic or photo work but it still seems doggy to me. The I Mac doesn't seem any faster to open and work with than my 4 yr old/dead Mini.

    this computer is beautiful and fast, but the mechanical hard drive caused some problems because its slow access speeds gum up the whole works! We were going to return the whole dang thing, but first tried getting a solid state drive connected by lightning cable in the back where we flashed the startup and office files to the ssd, and it is much faster and happier now.
