Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the 21.5" iMac's ease of use, performance, screen size, and value for the price. Many appreciate its sleek design and find it easy to set up. While some users wished for more memory and a more recent model year, the positive feedback on performance and ease of use outweighs these concerns. A few customers expressed dissatisfaction with the included mouse and keyboard.

    Family computer while virtual learning.

    With all the virtual learning stuff my daughter has to do our other computer was running super slow, so we decided to upgrade. I know this is a little extra for what we actually need it for but it was definitely worth it! Runs smoothly & fast. We've had absolutely no problem with it.

    I-Mac a well established classic...

    The Apple i-Mac is a nice desktop computer and I now own three... one 21.5 inch system in each of two locations and a third older 27 inch system that is now about a decade old with no problems encountered over that time. My latest purpose is because TurboTax notified me that their software will no longer work on my 10 year old machine. Each unit has a terabyte of memory and I would never buy less. I do not use i-Cloud as I don’t want to outsource my files to any third party due to security concerns... so the only extra component I bought along with the computer is a back up drive that I keep in a fire safe. The biggest change in the new system was the price being a tad less than half the price I paid for my first i-Mac a decade ago. I thoroughly recommend this product.

    This product was exactly as I expected it to be, but I DID love the Black Friday pricing. I was able to walk into the store and pick it up at the front counter since I purchased it online for store pickup. Very convenient with no waiting.

    I purchased this because my MacBook Pro from late 2011 was slowing down and they were getting rid of this model and was a bit cheaper. So far it doesn't disappoint, well accept for the fact that they got rid of the hidden dashboard.

    I was looking for a solid home office-based desktop that would work best for me when I wasn’t mobile with my MacBook Air on university campus and this just happened to be the better fit for price point and needs as the new ones were releasing/released. For $1k ± total it’s been a huge equalizer for keeping everything self-contained in my ongoing student life.

    Recently bought this iMac to transition from our old PC. Set up took 10 minutes. So very easy! Included keypad is a little small so will take some getting use to if you're not an Apple person. We ended up buying a Logitech wireless keyboard and we are good to go.

    I needed a desktop to work at home, and the speed of this computer and screen size really helped me to work effectively. I also love the style of this computer, so I would definitely recommend it to people even with the newer iMacs on the market.

    "Great Buy at Best Buy"

    I love my iMac!!! I have always had an HP, I had probably went through 4 HP laptops from middle school-graduate school. I had always heard Apple was a great quality but I was skeptical. I did thorough research , side by side comparison and the pricing, storage, screen space, and feature ...it can't compare!!! This product is amazing and I am soo in love! The only thing I would change was the key pad. My next purchase will be to get the keypad with numeric attachment. Otherwise, great buy at Best Buy !!!

    Love the size. Geek Squad transferred data for me and it was a seamless transition from my old iMac that “fried” during a cross-country move and this new iMac. I like the size compared to my old 27”. It fits perfectly on my desk and leaves plenty of room to work.

    Not a new as the latest model, but great deal for a more recent version. I saved $500 on this model and it is worth the price paid. I was going to go with a more expensive, color model. However, I just couldn’t pass up such a good deal.

    I didn't realize how much I missed my Mac. I gave my grandson my iMac because of COVID and home schooling. My replacement is much better with SSD. Set up was easy and efficient. Picture quality of the 4 K is far superior to the iMac I gave to my grandson

    This is my third iMac and I couldn't be happier. First I thought I would try the Mac Mini but unless you are ready to spend a small fortune on a retina monitor, it's not worth it. The iMac has everything I need at a much lower price.
