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.

    The screen is just gorgeous. Love the design. Mouse and keyboard are easy to use. Fast in graphics. The system is some what unstable. iMovie certainly stops when processing large videos. External HDD (3TB) gets ejected occasionally for unknown reasons. Compatibility with PCs and android devices (smart phones or chromecast) needs improvement. iTunes is annoying unless you are familiar with iphone and imac (data sync sometimes deletes your songs and pictures).

    Gorgeous - only downside is memory

    This is the most beautiful computer I have ever owned. The retina display is breathtaking at 21". It us like a giant iPad without the touchscreen. The machine runs well, handy ports for USB. I wish it was possible to upgrade the memory, however--it is NOT upgradeable. That being said, it is enough to run Parallels with Windows 10 (the cheapest way to get Windows 10 is to buy a Windows 7 Pro license, download 10 from Microsoft as an *.iso file, install it with Parallels, and use the license key to activate it--it works for now as long as the 10 upgrade remains free). I suppose this is how they keep the price decent. The only other little things are not being able to adjust the screen up and down (only tilt available), the tiny keyboard, and the wirelessness of the mouse & keyboard which could catch you unawares if the battery runs out. The keyboard will work while plugged into the USB, but the mouse will not, because of the location of the port. There is no CD/DVD drive built in, but I only occasionally would use one (think radiology images or installation or older or media CD's/DVD's). Still, it is beautiful and great to use. I love it. Well worth the $.

    I love this computer for the screen size and ease of use, although my two year old MacBook Pro does seem to run a little faster. Still leaps and bounds better than PC.

    I have been running Mac for 8 years now, but wanted a desktop for home/business use as i am a few years away from retirement. My wife's laptop DOS/Windows based is very old and there is a concern if it will boot. My Macbook pro is 7 years old and still purrs like a kitten, but I didn't want to share, and something a bit more advanced to he the heart of the home was needed.

    I'm not a techie - although I do like electronics of all kinds - so ease of use is critical for me. This mac is very user friendly. Easy to set up myself. In the past I've used PC's but since I have other apple products (phone, iPad, MacBook) I decided to get a Mac this time. Glad I did. Very happy with the purchase & Best Buy was great.

    We love our new iMac desktop computer! Beautiful display, fast processor and an outstanding product. I also like the new editing features in the new Photos program. Best Buy gave us excellent customer service through the buying process and though they ran into some glitches with the FREE transfer of data, they fixed it and were very helpful the couple of times I called Geek Squad. We paid for Apple Care Support and THAT is one of the reasons I will never leave Apple products! Any issues I run into (some were "user error" issues) I can get immediate customer service from an Apple care advisor! They are very knowledgable, friendly and solved my problems. We LOVE Apple products. We have a laptop, an ipad, 2 iphones and the iMac. Top notch product.
