    Really happy with the purchase of the new iMac! The colors on the screen are incredible. The sound is very good. And the performance of the hardware itself is top notch. There is a premium to be paid for the name, but when you have so much invested over time in it, there really isn't any other way to go.

    OK, I needed (?) a new desktop for my home business. Everything I use daily is Apple, so I spent the cash to get this. It is a fabulous machine, probably more than I needed but should last a good while. Screen quality is awesome! Processor is very fast. If you prefer the Apple format you will love it !

    I’m new to Apple products and got this computer after getting an IPhone, but I’m loving how similar the processes are to my phone. I love being able to ask Siri questions on how to use new features. Overall very impressed with the whole computer.

    It is exactly what you expect from Apple. Easy to use, sleek design and bluetooth mouse and keyboard definitely is something to think about. My only gripe has always been that the usb ports slots it is something that I have a love/hate relationship with. Overall it is an investment.

    I like desktop computers and wanted an all in one. It doesn't take up much space and the screen is so clear, bright with beautiful colors. I needed one I could use for a while so that is why I got the 1TB with 8GB of memory. It is totally different from my PC computers but it is easy to learn.

    This iMac was a perfect upgrade for an old Mac Mini we used as a secondary desktop in our household. Transferring data was seamless via Time Machine and installing the Catalina OS went without any major issues. Very pleased, especially with the unit's speed and display.

    I’ve been a windows user for so long thou I’ve been using apple products for such as iphone and ipad. These are the Pros that I can say 1. Has a large hard drive storage at 1 TB and it’s fast 2. Display is really good especially the 4K feature 3. Fast processor i5 at 3.0 GHz speed 4. Wireless Mouse and keyboard Are both rechargeable Cons 1. Safari by default doesn’t play 4K videos on youtube. Hence you need to download a plug in or use Chrome to play such displays. Overall it’s a great pc

    I was originally looking for a good laptop that wasn’t too expensive. However, after I purchased a cheap laptop from target I realized I should invest my money in something better. I’m glad I did! Simple setup, beautiful display, fast speed and plenty of storage. Great device!

    I love my iMac! I had a Mac mini that was slow and the spinning wheel kept rotating whenever I tried to do anything. It wanted me to upgrade the OS and when I did it died so I bought the iMac and I loved it!! It is very fast and so easy to set up!

    Microsoft User transferred to iMac

    If you have been a Microsoft user, and want to know if you want to transfer to Apple, don't do it! Looks: As for the looks, it is not too bad. It is light, compared to a regular MS monitor. The computer is built into the screen monitor and a built in camera. The picture is great. Watching from this iMac has great quality. Off/ On Button: It does shut down fast. Also, it does start up rather quickly too. Typically turns on within 1-2 minutes. Accessories: Due to the fact that I was a previous owner of a Microsoft computer, I was working with the mouse, it is hard to not use the "right" side to navigate through. Sadly, I have tried numerous times to click the right side, but it is only one click, the left side and it does not give the option to use a right side clicker. The mouse has a built in sensor that you can use your fingertips to scroll up/down on a page. I love this feature. It is very chic. Also, can move right/left and it moves the previous page, and the next page. Please do your research before purchasing. I only wish I could have researched and had someone inform me, as a Microsoft user, that it is not Microsoft user friendly. Overall, it is a great computer. It turns on/off fast, picture is great, speakers are loud, but works out great, built in camera (front facing), comes with a keyboard and mouse.

    I had a MacBook Pro for years and it was starting to die on me. Since we had to postpone our wedding we decided to purchase a new Mac and I’m in love. Easy set up, easy to use, and fast. What more can you ask for?

    This is my first IMAC, i bought this out of curiosity and also i wanted a desktop PC, I didnt know much about this product until i keep seeing alot of purchases was bought from customers and they only problem i have with this IMaC , is the magic mouse, it not really a good mouse, it very hard to use without knowing how to scroll ,with even though the IMAc came with one charger,which dont make a no sense and you literally have to turn the Imac around to plug it in the back which is annoying, i dont like it, i thinking of getting a magic trackpad instead,and extending usb port , so i wont have to go behind the IMAc, to plug anything up. Otherwise Apple need to make the Imac , more better with the design , that make sense to Apple use as myself,

    Love my new iMac! Had to get a new computer to work from home and decided to switch to a Mac. I’ve been very happy with my iPhone and iPad so I figured I’d be happy with a Mac too! I love the fact that they are all synced. I can make calls and answer text messages right from my computer. I can even use my iPad as a second monitor. I’m still getting used the new operating system, having used Windows for many years, but it’s not difficult. If you’re a heavy duty user you might want to get one with more RAM. When working I’m using GoToMyPC to access my work computer and tend to have numerous tabs and apps open at once, so I do get the spinning beach ball at times. However, it is still a huge improvement over my previous HP all in one computer!

    This is my first iMac and I can say I am impressed with the symbiosis and simplicity of the system with the programs and hardware included. I would have to say that the only downside would be price for added accessories.

    I have long been a Mac fan and love my Mac computer. I do genealogy and store a lot on it and often have multiple screens open at once and the size of the screen is wonderful for that. Several months ago, I was sitting at the computer when a car crashed through the room and into my house. I was injured and ALL the furniture in the room was destroyed including 2 metal file cabinets. I thought sure the screen would not survive being hurled to the floor among debris. Yet, my Mac survived with just a few scratches on the back and is still working today! It was found face down in the rubble but came on immediately when plugged in! Can't beat a Mac!

    I bought the iMac 21.5 because of the speed, storage capacity and excellent picture quality. I have used Mac products for the last 10+ years and have always been pleased with the quality of the computers and the dependability.

    I purchased this for my grandfather who’s PC laptop was on its last leg. He was struggling with many of the changes that Windows had over the years, but surprisingly he took to Mac OS pretty quickly. I’ve been surprised how much he has learned in a short period of time, and without too much help to boot. It has also helped him keep up with the grandkids more as he can use his iMac to send iMessages to everyone in the family. He really enjoys being able to pull the pictures up on the bigger screen and then save them. With the quality of Apple products, this will last him a long time, and with 1TB of space, he won’t be filling it up anytime soon with his usage.
