    I never had an apple desktop, so I decided to buy it and so worth the buy. So loving it. I don't have to worry about buying another computer at all now. It is even thinner and its easy to carry. I would recommend this.

    It’s easy to use and I love how compact it is. This was bought as a family computer. This is our first computer and decided to go with a MAC since we have Iphones. I couldn’t be happier with it.

    Great computer for the money! Been wanting to switch to Apple for a long time due to the photo editing software available. Between the software, more stable system, and the Retina display, you can't go wrong!

    I've been with pc for a long time and it's been misery for the past ten years with windows. Now with an easier os on the iMac it's been much better. It does run slow but it's a huge leep over stupid windows, the screen is beautiful and compact to 5mm which is nice. The keyboard is nice,but the kicker is the mouse for me wich is outstanding, not planning to run any game thats why I have a ps4 rather than a gaming pc. If are looking for a great computer for pictures and, movie editing then by all means go with this computer you be happy at the end.

    Love my Mac...and still love my PC

    I got this Mac to complement my 1.5 year old HP Envy laptop. I know a lot of people say that once they have a Mac, they will never go back to a PC, but I like both platforms. My PC laptop is my business machine with all my work files, and this machine is for video and photo editing. So far, this Mac has turned out to be a great machine. Pros: the outstanding, crystal clear display. Sometimes when I'm looking at a photo, it feels almost 3D-like. 8GB of Ram - great for photo and video work. 1TB hard drive - same. Very easy to setup and get running (though my PC didn't take long either). No clutter: only one power cord. No cords connecting the keyboard and mouse to the machine. You definitely get more for your money vs MacBook Pro, though you obviously lose portability. The Mac OSX app store has a pretty good selection of apps, though many IOS apps aren't available. Cons: the computer can be just a tad bit slow sometimes. It boots up super fast, but sometimes takes just a bit too long to load certain programs. But that's a minor issue. I can't really speak of the reliability of the machine, as I haven't had it very long. But so far, so good. All in all, it's a great machine. It's great to have both a Mac and windows machine, and really get the best of both worlds.

    This new Mac is both gorgeous and a fabulous computer. Tremendous graphics and quick processing make this a terrific purchase. I have been PC all my life, but no more, at least not at home. Wow!

    I have been wanting and waiting to be able to finally purchase my MAC - I'm talking almost 20 years. (sad face) I am a photographer and graphic designer (I really am though; I have the education, the overwhelming student loans, the full time job, all of it!) and was making do with my previous Toshiba Laptop. Don't get me wrong, that trusty little guy was great for surfing the web and a few minor projects, but hard-core photo editing sessions with Lightroom & Photoshop open, plus, yknow, basic operating system functions running in the background, would sloooooooowww evvverrrything doowwnnn... (in case you can't read sloth, that says "slow everything down"). The first time I opened a new session in lightroom on my new MAC it was like a giant weight lifted from my shoulders! It wouldn't take 20 minutes to edit one photo?! And the angels sang! Not to mention that I also had Pandora playing some kickin' tunes, Facebook open to answer client questions, and so on! Hallelujah.

    The iMac desktop is excellent

    We have had regular PC desktops all our computer lives. In recent years, we went from cell phones to iPhones, and got an iPad. We decided to go with an iMac for consistency of use, and to easily share all info/data with our desktop. It was the right choice. There's a little getting used to the iMac vs. a Microsoft operated computer, but it's great once you catch on. We've been taking advantage of the free Apple Store workshops in the transition.

    Another great Apple product

    I recently purchased a 21.5 iMac with 4K Retina display and couldn't be happier with this computer. Fast, and a crystal clear display. I am a photograph for work and as a hobby so decided to spring for the 4K Retina. The photos and letters for that matter pop! Looking at a non 4K Retina screen I can really see the difference! And as usual I always enjoy Apple's attention to detail and design, and quality. Worth every penny.

    The best computer I have ever owned! So glad I switched from Windows 10 to the iMac! Having never owned a mac and always windows i can say i wont be going back to windows. The customer service through apple was amazing and I cant express enough how good this product is. Everything just works and works well. It doesn't slow down when running multiple programs at once and can take everything i throw at it. Hope this helps.

    We love almost everything about this machine. Fast and smooth. Especially like the rechargeable wireless keyboard and mouse. Display is awesome, internal speakers are surprisingly good. Only things we don't love: mini keyboard is compact but we really miss the 10-key and delete key, also miss an internal DVDR.

    Bought this to replace a dell with Windows 8 on it. Really never liked the dell, well let me say I did not like Windows 8 at all. With that said, I have used an IPad for a while now so getting a iMac was a no brainier. My wife uses a MacBook so I was use to it. The iMac is sleek, fast, updates when needed, handled all my projects with ease. Great machine, really enjoying it.
