    The screen is a nice size and very clear. It works with my iPhone :) Plenty of drive space and fast enough for my needs. Runs my art programs like a dream.

    Our staff loves this computer at our front desk. Ease of use, quality of the display and speed is just what we needed to step our game up from our old iMac.

    Works very well and is a lot thinner and lighter than my old Mac. May be a steep price for a lot. Quick, easy to use and reliable.

    I bought this Apple IMac because my tower pc was about 10 years old. It was working but days were numbered. Being I have an Apple phone, iPad, iPod and and an iwatch, it was an easy decision to make. All products work seamlessly together. Apple packaging is super. Open the box, take the unit out and turn it on. The key board and mouse connect by themselves(wireless) . A little of a learning curve to learn the Apple commands but that we come with time. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. And the Geek squad did a fine job of transferring my files.

    So I always have used a laptop but the desk top was significantly less expensive and had a ton of more storage. I figured when I travel i would just use my iPhone. So I bought this one and it took about a week to arrive and another two days to get all my data transferred form my laptop to the desktop. The picture is CRAZY and the ease of use is really appreciated (especially since working from home is so prevalent), this was a great investment and I know will last me a very long time

    Overall the computer is fast, the graphic card is serviceable and the system flies. The screen is great and the OS runs perfect. Here is the one catch, don't get the 5400 Harddrive, its trash and slow. I got it and it stinks. The computer is slow with that bad hard drive. I had to get an external SSD drive, set it up as the boot drive and now it flies. You can do that if you want to save 600 bucks. Its small so you can't even see it.

    Overdue upgrade worth the price

    The iMac is a major upgrade from my 13-year-old iMac. It's much faster, and the difference is screen resolution is amazing. I did have to re-purchase a couple of apps that were 32 bit rather than 64 bit, but otherwise the switch was relatively painless. The 1TB hard drive is a major improvement, and it is slimmer, which should make it easier to transport, should I need to. I'm hoping it will last at least 13 years as well...

    Had a 2008 iMac which was no longer supported by iOS updates but was working great. Finally took a look at the new iMac with retina 4K display and intel core i3 and decided it was worth it. After having it at home a few weeks, for those Mac fans, this is worth it, what a great product, transferring files from old iMac to new iMac was easy and up and running in a 2 hours. iMac is extremely fast and the display is so sharp. Can't go wrong with this iMac.

    Very happy with our purchase of the iMac. It’s our 1st Mac computer. We have always had Dell but we decided sense we have other Apple products and they review very well we decided to take the plunge. Yes they are a bit more pricey but to us it was worth it and you get what you pay for. Apple is so much easier to use when not overly tech savvy. We also got it on sale $1099, so $200 off didn’t hurt either.

    After having to replace 3 pc's in 10 years it was tine to give mac a shot. So far so good. Having the ability to use word and excel made the decision easier. And the price match offered by best buy makes it a no brainer. Using the rewards points to purchase the magic keyboard with numeric keypad to replace the smaller included keyboard. If you can find a way to get them to swap it out you should.

    I have always wanted an iMac. I love the ease of use and being able to pair it with my iPhone. After reviewing some of the apps and taking the startup tour, I am definitely excited about my purchase. The display is so clear. I thought I would have problems using the flat keyboard, but surprisingly, I type faster on it!

    I purchased this to replace my 2011 21.5" iMac which had reached the end of its' service life. The Retina 4K display is stunning. For some videos, it looks more like a windows to the outdoors than a display. For the home office this is a sure bet. More professional users might want something with more memory and perhaps a larger screen, but this is hard to beat for a home computer.

    I purchased it for my kids, 3 under the age of 10. So far it has been great! I don't have to worry about viruses. It is easy to use. Wide enough screen for everyone to watch as kids take turns. It's been almost 3 years and still going strong, no issues.

    My husband and I are computer illiterate and didn’t know computers just die one day. Well ours up and quit on us after 10 years and 1 month. We checked out the new computers and headed to the geek squad to confirm our diagnosis. Since our old computer served us well in our beginning retirement years we decided to go with the new 2019 updated model and aside from our ‘new tech illiteracy’ with a little help periodically from our friends at the geek squad, we know we made the best choice! We have been enjoying our new Mac since the middle of June and so happy with our choice!
