    Replaced my wife's 2013 iMac with this one. Graphics and speed are incredible. Just make sure you spend a little extra and get the 1TB Fusion drive opposed to the SATA HDD Drive huge difference in speed.

    It's a great looking desktop. The screen is fantastic (as often the case with macs), it has a good keyboard and mouse. The drive is plenty for a long time. What keeps this as a beginning or kids mac is the physical hard drive.

    Great computer but still learning

    I recently bought this Mac to replace my all in one Lenovo desktop. I have many Apple devices but this is my first desktop. It’s definitely a learning curve for me but so far I love it. The display on this computer is AMAZING! I love the ease of having everything so intertwined now. I’m not too fond of the Magic Mouse that comes with it yet. Don’t get me wrong, it’s sleek and nice but I’m still getting use to all the options I have with finger controls and having no right click was confusing at first. The desktop itself is pretty quick when transitioning between the windows and has very little lag time when opening up apps. It’s definitely a great computer for new Apple iMac users.

    Okay so I thought I was getting a 4 core I Mac and was happy with that. Well it came in today and had a 6 core on it I was blown away. First off the seller got the shipping label ready to go quickly and it got here pretty fast. Everything was in the box and I couldn’t tell if this was used or a floor model or what ever it was pretty much new when I opened this. I’m really happy with this seller and the product I feel better now that I finally got a new computer and a way better computer than I had before just saving a few hundred dollars was nice knowing that I got the better 21.5 for a base 4K price.

    This iMac replaced my wife's 7-year-old iMac. Display on the new one is much better; and the machine is faster than the old one. She is very happy so that means I'm happy too!

    This is my first time having an iMac... ever. Honestly I was so shocked at how Apple literally fits every thing into a portable monitor. I've always had windows computers where you'd have to buy the monitor and the brain separately so this was a big mind blower for me. Anyways, the setup was super easy just like setting up an iphone. Intially, I bought this i3 processor but ended up switching it out for the i5 and found it ran 10x as fast. Dont get me wrong this is not a bad computer by any many however when load apps there is a lag and a bit of a wait time. I would say if you use your computer to run multiple apps at a time spend the extra bucks and get the updated i5 processor. You won't regret it!

    Great computer. I love the bigger screen from a MacBook Pro and the speed is much better also. I do not like how the keyboard and mouse keep getting un synced. That’s annoying.

    I had to buy a new iMac last month because my 9 year old one had a hard drive crash and then the board went out. The new version is much improved and I am almost used to it!

    I've been a life long Apple fan. I'm very familiar with their products and quality. I've had two other iMac's before purchasing this one for my parents. We unboxed it, went through all of the necessary migration routines from their old Mac mini to this new iMac and all went well. Once all the software was installed, I noticed that the new iMac dragged a bit. I let it run through the necessary optimizations but still, its not as snappy as it could be. Unfortunately, this version of the iMac can not have its RAM upgraded..... All in all, we are okay with the new purchase but hind site being 20/20, we should have gone with the 16 GB of RAM.

    My first iMac was a 2007 model It still works minus the internal disc drive that went wonky on me, then several months later it had issues connecting to the internet, (Power PC programs no longer work with this computer) So It was time for a new one..... I would have preferred a bigger screen but Apple does not give a choice between their new Retina 4K display and what I had... So I had to get a smaller screen to keep my BB payments down..... and I did get two hundred off as it was on sale

    Super picture clarity, easy to load programs and files from my MacBook to the iMac were huge pluses. I do find the operating system to be slightly sluggish, however.
