    The screen is so beautiful. However, don’t think about trying to upgrade this thing later. The hard drive is way too slow compared to your phone or your iPad. You can purchase an external SSD to speed it up but good luck trying to put in memory behind that beautiful screen you’ll have to take out and reattach. I returned my for an upgradable 27 inch 5k.

    Great quality. I wasn't completely sure about buying the whole get up a first but a desktop was the best thing I could ever have done for my virtually learning experience. Is a little slower than my other apple products but again worth every penny. Love being able to pick up projects on my laptop when I need to get on the road. The transition is almost seamless. To me with apple you get quality long lasting products. I will always purchase apple.

    I honestly love apple but for the price of the i3 is crazy and it’s honestly really slow so I suggest getting the i5! But if you just want it to browse the web! I say go for it! But if you wanna record gameplay with an elgato it will run pretty laggy and slow. But will still record perfect!

    Not much to say about this sweet deal. This is as much a kudos to Best Buy as it is to Apple. When you’re in the market for an iMac, you’re pretty much looking for where you can get a price break! Our family is completely satisfied with this all-in-one Apple rig, and Best Buy allowed us to make this purchase with a great price. Our family has only owned Windows-based PCs until now, so other than the “difficulty” of transitioning to the iMac operating system, this machine gets top marks.

    I decided that I needed to challenge my mind so I made the switch from Windows to iMAC. There are some things that I find better on Windows. For example, I have two web sites that have very similar web addresses. Windows has no problem with this, but iMAC does. I guess that if I were not new to iMAC, I would be perfectly satisfied with my new iMAC. Since my primary reason for moving over to iMac was to give myself a mental challenge, I am getting the challenge I bargained for.

    I love my new iMac, especially the Retina 4K display. I've been using a PC for over 20 years and missed having an Apple product. It has been a little challenging at times making the switch, but it is getting so much easier now that my brain isn't on sensory overload! My only two minor complaints about the machine is that at times it is a little slow and there were a few documents that the Migration Assistant did not transfer in their entirety. I ended up using a thumb drive to replace them.
