I actually got this iMAC for my wife's usage after not being able to put up with her annoyances with her PC desktop. Her desktop wasn't the issue-it was all the BS of dealing with Microsoft and their continuous updates and changes.
This iMAC has a detailed picture and Apple operating system including the latest Apple developments in software. Streaming video is faultless (with a good internet of course) and FaceTime video is great for conferencing for business or pleasure.

Initial Review: Good Machine So Far
|

Purchased to replace an old Windows machine that my wife uses mainly for finances.
Initial impression after one day: It's a good machine so far and great screen. The upgrade from Big Sur to Monterey 12.0.1 took less than an hour.
The biggest drawback is a RAM upgrade requires the machine to be disassembled. With the 250GB SSD though, it performs very well with the stock 8GB of RAM. Should be fine for my wife for the time being for web, email, finances, WP etc.
Installed Apache Open Office, and performance with that program is fine. I expect do it to drag a bit when I install Gimp and maybe another photo app. Didn't intend it for that use though.
It was on sale and cheaper than the new base 24" M-1 iMacs that have only 2 lightning ports and hardwired RAM. This one's got 4 USB, 2 lightning and a card reader.
Question about how long Apple will support the Intel iMacs. Should be at least 2-4 years. They're still making and selling the Intel 27" models so there's that.
I did notice downloading software that some developers have separate DMG files for Intel and Apple M-1 silicone. That's interesting.
Another good thing is Best Buy's holiday return policy is until January 16 if the machine goes south.
So, so far so good, and on sale why get another similarly priced Windows machine for my wife?

Love this iMac. The colors and sharpness of images as they appear on screen are unbelievable. Took a bit of time to adjust to use of the mouse after using my laptop for so many years, but now I am really happy with it.I especially like watching movies and National Geographic on this device. Highly recommend.

I pretty much knew what I wanted before I walked in. Asked the sales person a few questions which he answered then I purchased the Apple iMac. Everything when smoothly and I walked out with what I wanted. I bought the Apple iMac to replace one that I had for 10 yrs. Hope I get 10 yrs out of this one.

It works like an Apple is supposed to work for my limited purposes. I have experienced some issues with syncing music from iTunes this Mac with both my wife’s and my iPhone. However, I had that challenge with my old Mac. After too many hours on the line with Apple support I was told the problem is likely due to Apple trying to move me off iTunes (for which I buy on a song by song basis) to its Music app which is a costly subscription.
