    I was always against getting an iMac and went with the laptop, but this was the best purchase. Big enough to view everything I need (all different applications), speakers are loud, space is amazing! Great investment for my schooling! Great price and user friendly.

    I purchased this iMac to replace my 10 year old iMac. I am always amazed at how easy apple products are to set up and use right away. It has been a great tool for this new norm of remote learning. Great purchase.

    This is my first Mac desktop. While not cheap the experience is very good. Plenty fast for photo editing. Fusion drive speeds things up. All in one form factor keeps dean clean. Plenty of ports to hook up peripherals and built in SD card reader is nice for direct photo import.

    I was a little hesitant because of the price, but I have to say I am satisfied with this purchase. This is my first Mac and I’m sold! Love how it syncs with my phone! I knew the screen size said 21.5 but I was still surprised at how large it is!

    I love apple products. I switched to the iMac because I was using my macbook pro to play sims and switching has made the gaming experience so much better for me! The quality it amazing and the overall performance is just great! Highly recommend it

    This was purchased for my husband. We both use only Apple products for our phones and ipads. He is happy with the computer and is planning to use with his music gear. I don't think I would have purchased for myself for the price.

    First Mac in more than 20 years. High quality display. Had multiple problems installing security software. Used chat, Online support, and to the IMac into Best Buy. Spent at least 20 hours working with online tech support who would, despite promises to keep in contact and inform me, would just disconnect without telling me. Promblem is tha BestBuy markets Malware but does not support it nor provide a working connection to download. Still trying to get money back.

    Fits perfect on my kitchen counter/breakfast bar so I can download my photos, do edits & enjoy coffee all at the same time. The screen isn’t too big where it takes over nor too small so we are able to watch movies.Easy set up. I love Apple products.

    Highly recommend. Previous iMac from 15 yrs ago, still using. Hoping this will last just as long. This model is better value than the i3 core. If you looking for more RAM, buy the 27” models. The 21.5” is very hard to add additional RAM.

    We wanted something with a small foot print on a desk and no tower. This was set up in just a few minutes and the launch software was super easy. The monitor is exceptional and certainly big enough for most applications. Since we only upgrade our electronics every 5-6 years, the difference in price for a windows PC wasn't that much of a factor in our choice. We did opt for the alpha numeric keyboard because we use applications that call for numeric data entry. We also purchased Applecare which was extra but BestBuy has a program that covers other devices as well so we wanted to make sure that we could transfer documents and photos to the new iMac and the tech contract covers that.

    My wife and I bought our first iMac and we love it. Incredible easy to set up, and the footprint is minimal on our desk which is perfect. One drawback to it is that all of the ports (USB, SD card slot, USB-C, etc.) are on the back of the monitor. So if you ever need to plug anything in you have to reach around the monitor to get to it. Kind of annoying that Apple did that for the sake of keeping with a minimalistic design. Would rate it 4.5 starts if possible.
