Customers are saying

Customers value the 21.5" iMac's stunning display quality, ease of use, and compact design. Many appreciate the crisp, colorful picture and the user-friendly interface. 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.

    Being a pc user for many years, this is my first exposure of any kind with an Apple iMac and first impressions, I must say, Apple does it first class, from packaging through to easy set-up. Still learning, but so far, so good!

    Dealing with Best Buy is always good. Fast service and good prices. The computer is for my wife to do graphic work on. Thru the years everyone I know has used a Mac for this work! She will see if it is as good as they sayl

    I do 90% of my photography work on this computer and it really helps me out when I’m editing. The display is stunning, crisp and vibrant. Plus the compatibility with my other Apple devices makes it convenient.

    I had (and still have) a MacBook Pro. The laptop does not have the Retina display. The iMac has become my main computer. The laptop is good for portability. This is certainly the best desktop I've ever owned. Very happy with it.

    Transition is so easy. Glad we upgraded to Mac because that is literally what it is... an upgrade. Very fast... Have not had much time to do a whole lot of play with it but will soon. But our work work is very fast.

    I am an Apple fanboy and own a lot of Apple products but this one sorely disappointed me from the moment I got it out of the box. I believe the problem to be the 5400 RPM hard drive in it. I am really shocked that SSD is not the standard for all Apple products across the board. That would have made the experience so much better from the beginning. In the end, I decided to return it and get a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and connect it to an existing monitor to have nearly the same setup as I had with the iMac. So much happier now.

    We use this iMac in a church classroom to display and run media. ProPresenter works seamlessly with Mac. For any churches needing a computer to run media from, I highly recommend using a Mac.

    I moved from a MacBook Air, that I really liked, to the iMac. I thought the iMac would behave similarly to the MacBook Air, but the iMac takes longer to open apps and process things, which I was think is strange given that it has much stronger processing power. I like the size of the screen and the setup is better, ergonomically. But I miss my laptop. I liked it better.

    My wife and I were lifetime HP users and decided to invest more into our next desktop so we decided to go with an iMac. We are very satisfied with our decision and do not plan on going back. Worth the extra money.
