Customers are saying

Some wish for more RAM and a faster hard drive, and the lack of a CD drive is also a recurring concern. Overall, the positive feedback on the display and ease of use outweighs the negative comments regarding storage and upgradeability.

    I'm happy with the computer but I should have done a bit more research. Microsoft Outlook will not sync with the apple apps so if you want to use some microsoft applications, you will need to enter information twice. On the other hand, my experience with Apple support has been nothing short of outstanding.

    I got this computer for myself as a birthday gift. I have has a mackbook pro but wanted an area where I could dedicate my workspace to instead of always being on the laptop. I'm a photographer and absolutely love everything about my iMac I purchased the trackpad and cd drive as well because it always comes in handy...

    I had to return the first IMAC due to a defect in the sound and the return process was very easy at Best Buy, The replacement IMAC was extremely easy to set up right out of the box and both the sound and visual clarity are sensational, This is my second IMAC and I also own a laptop, IPAD, IPHONE and each of those is a replacement so I have been a satisfied APPLE user for 7 years.

    This is a high quality work of art. It really does have lots of different functions and I love how it is way faster than a normal computer. The computer is an amazing step into the future of course humans still have to evolve, but little steps like these can be a dramatic change the way our earth works. To finalize, the Apple computer is a magnificent computer and it is soooo useful. Thank you

    Easy to set up and easy to use right out of the box. The display is stunning. And as always with a Mac, you quickly know that you didn't make a mistake buying it. Worth every penny. My only complaint is with the magic keyboard. Yes, It's small and wireless, which is nice, but I find it a bit TOO small to be comfortable. Not a deal breaker, but a little wider keyboard would be nice.

    After years of living with my MacBook, when our HP desktop needed to be retired, I knew my choice would be another Apple product. After reviewing my options with a Best Buy service advisor, I went with the 21.5" iMac. It's display is insanely crisp making photo work easy on the eyes. Love the wireless keyboard and mouse and it goes without saying, I love the iMac programs.

    First off this computer is very useful! It's a great addition to my household and I absolutely love the pixel quality! It's retina effects are absolutely stunning making every pixel crystal clear. Even with the worst quality videos does this iMac display top quality high definition screened videos. I'm overly satisfied and I recommend this product to whoever can get their hand on it. (:

    It is taking me a while to learn this computer but I like what I have figured out so far. I started with an Apple iPad that my son bought for me and really liked it so that is why I went with this computer when I was looking for a new desk top. Now I just have to figure out how to sync the two.
