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.

    Got this desktop Mac and I love it! Great monitor, sound, and the computer runs like a dream. Wish the keyboard was larger, but that is easily remedied!

    I purchased the iMac with Retina display primarily for photo editing, so I really appreciate the pixel density and wide color gamut of the display.

    Second apple computer, last one was over 6 years old. Never had any problems. This one is just as easy to operate and transferring data was a cinch.

    We went through 2 PCs less than a week after purchasing each, one of which was Alienware. This iMac is the best. Not a problem since purchasing it!

    For my friend Sandy, Sandy likes her new iMac very much. She is a 77 year old beginner slowly being taught by her friend (Me). I'm a 30 year veteran of using Macs. She is amazed at how simple it is to use. She was a PC user before, but now is a converted & very happy Mac user. It's too bad it doesn't have more than one outlet for Ethernet, but still worth 5 stars.

    Best change up was to get a MAC! I've had to spend less time trying to figure out things as the computer guides you through it!

    Apple didn't disappoint. Love my iMac! Size is wonderful. I work with images and SVGs and the screen size comes in handy for the fine print.
