    Our purchase of a new iMac computer was the most recent in a series of Apple computer products dating back to the 1980s. We have never been disappointed and this purchase exceeded our expectations. The sales staff we dealt with were very accommodating to our questions and needs and we left with a superb product and have been enjoying it ever since

    Needed a home CPU for entire family. Mac was very easy to use and didn't even end up needing to buy Microsoft products. Was impressed with options it came with. Operates very quickly and the graphics are fantastic.

    I'm enjoying my new iMac. It's great and sleek. Great graphics looks amazing. I'm able to multitask at ease with the new iOS plus the screen size helps.

    You won't be disappointed in this system. I am, however, disappointed that I'm replacing an iMac that's only 4 years old. Things started going wrong when my husband replaced a dying hard drive and here we are. If this repeats itself within the next 4 years I'll rethink this. Day One, so far, is going well.

    This is a great computer. It would be even better if it had 16gb of RAM but it does the job with the 8gb it comes with. It has a beautiful display and it does everything that it's supposed to. This a great computer for someone who doesn't like tinkering with there computer all the time to access the functions highlighted on the box.

    It was time for a new desktop and I was afraid to pull the trigger on going all Mac as the price is so much more expensive than the alternatives!! I am amazed at how easy it is and so glad that I pulled the trigger to do so!! With the Apple care as well this has been the best purchase of the century for me!!

    I bought this Mac to replace my old one. The new screen is amazing. The colors are very bright and crisp. I loved my old Mac and this one is basically the same with a better screen. If you are a Mac lover, then you will like it. If you don't like Mac's, then don't buy it....Because It's a Mac :)

    Before my purchase, I was considering a CTO with an SSD upgrade. Retailers didn't offer customizations, and I was worried the machine might be slow due to the HDD. Then, there was a discount at Bestbuy, so I chose to try it out - and it's been great so far. As it turns out, the HDD isn't bad at all, just some slight slowdowns when loading apps (which isn't disturbing at all). It feels much faster than my previous mac - a Late 2011 i7 MBP with SSD and 16GB ram upgrade. Plus, the retina display is just great! :)

    This is my first desktop. I like the size, I love the retina display. I knew what I wanted at purchase and I really appreciated that the associate in the store quickly got what I wanted without a lot of discussion about possibilities or plans. It was all very efficient.

    I switched from a Windows PC to an Apple iMac, and I could not be happier! The iMac works great with no continuous updates daily like Windows! I am still getting used to some of the applications on the iMac, but that is because I've used Windows for so long.

    It just works. The only knock I have against this one is that the hard drive is very slow. In hindsight, I should have gotten a solid state hard drive. Otherwise the product is great. The Retina display is absolutely stunning, well worth the money.

    Best Mac Yet

    I replaced my six year old iMac with this latest iMac. It is an incredible machine and very fast. The only problem I have had was getting this iMac to work with my Epson printer. But after talking to Apple and Epson customer service, my problem was easily resolved. The screen is a couple of inches wider than than my old iMac which is great. In summary, this is a great machine.
