    The screen is magnificent. I love editing my photos on this computer. It allows me to almost see my 24mp images at 1:1 with all my tools in Lightroom. Computer is fast.

    I had previously bought my first 2 computers at Best Buy, both were nice in the beginning but after time they got slow and useless. When I purchased them, they were top of the line computers, but the operating systems were the crappiest, sorry to say that but it's true! The first one came with Windows Millennium, big ugly monitor too but flat screens were not around yet. The second one came with Windows Vista, which I upgraded to Windows 8.1 but still sucked! Now with this 27" iMac Retina 5K, everything is blazing fast and I haven't had any problems with. Such a beautiful monitor and not a lot of wires. I hope this last me a long time. I will upgrade memory soon, thanks Best Buy for an awesome sale price, cheapest I found online!

    what can I say about Apple, this is my third Apple machine and the idea this time was to get faster, better looking results from my video editing. I am a professional in the video business and now all my machines are Macs. This one is the fastest and has the best looking display so far. I am using the Adobe CC suite for my business and this machine handles it beautify.

    I started using apple computers about a year ago and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. The way they work together with my iPhone and iPad and MacBooks is intuitive and seamless. And this computer is a BEAST. The screen size and picture clarity are unsurpassed. I own a 4K tv and side by side, the iMac picture blows the TV picture out of the water. I plugged this in, signed in with my apple id, synced it with my Time Machine and BAM I was good to go. Once I added in a trackpad, it became an invaluable part of my computing experience. I own several businesses and also use it for personal use, as well as my daughter using it for her high school homework. Just amazing.

    If you are thinking about buying an iMac, take a serious look at this model. The speed of the solid state drive makes this iMac fly. I know it is a bit more costly than the other models, but if you get annoyed watching the spinning color wheel of death on your current machine, you need this one! It runs the latest version of Yosemite without any modifications at all. And did I say it was fast?

    We were waiting for the new retina display 21.5" iMac to replace our old 2007 iMac that is pretty slow since we upgraded to Yosemite. Decided to splurge for the 27" Retina display since waiting was beginning to get long and we don't regret the choice: what a beautiful screen. We are doing more and more photography and editing a lot of pictures and this screen makes a true difference. The instant response of the 3.5GHz processor and fusion drive is also refreshing compared to our old iMac

    As will all iMacs, a grey desktop system. Not overly powered, but with the monitor, an amazing deal. Fifth iMac, and this is a nice improvement in terms of performance, but the screen is amazing. Literally showing it off to everyone. It's a bit of a novelty, as other than photo editing, not of a huge use. Makes everything easier to read, clearer, and nicer, but nothing is in 5k that you can view, or even in 4k. Given this, would still pay the extra few hundred for the 5k as it is impossible to explain. Those that love macs will love this system. Those that love macs and love 'neat tech things' will love this model.

    Smooth Operating System

    I've heard a lot of positive feedback from both the reviews and friends/family that have purchased an Apple computer/laptop and have been greatly interested to find out for myself. I'm greatly impressed. Note, it does take quite a learning curve to transition from a Windows operating system to an Apple operating system. Also, the Magic Mouse 2, though pretty amazing in functionality, is quite small for people with larger hands and doesn't feel as ergonomic while in use. I still like it, just wish it were a bit larger. Overall, it is my opinion that it is worth it so far...time will tell.

    This iMac 5k is extremely fast. Starts up fast and can use it almost right when it powers up. I used to own nothing but Windows PC's, after buying this I won't look back. Going to upgrade the memory to 32GB, not because it needs it, but because I can! Love it so much I may buy another one for my office.

    Great IMac for Workflow

    I bought this 5K IMac for workflow and detail. The screen resolution great for an OS X environment; not so great with Windows 7, with some pixelation when running programs like CorelDraw and Visio Studio. Users will find that Apple has not increased the DPI on magic mouse, so expect picking up your mouse every once in awhile when working full screen. My BIGGEST recommendation is to upgrade the ram ASAP. Between Parallels, CorelDraw and M$ Office, 8GB of ram will only last you for a short time.
