Great Giant All in One
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is basically the best, most sleek way to get a mac. I have had numerous macbook pros and mini's, but this runs smoother and with less heat. I did have to change my speakers because this took up so much desk real estate. That said it was worth it, I have a monster monitor, and the ability to change the RAM (you can't in the 21.5 version). The monitor is very bright and the colors look good. The only downside is the built in speakers, which I am not using; and the high cost. It is also very heavy, but in a quality way. It looks very nice on just about any desk but I went out and ordered an wall mounted desk from best buy by Prepac. Also a very solid unit, and the 27 inch takes up the entire main opening, making it look like it was custom made for it.

Great buy for price/package
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this iMac just prior to the new computers coming out by Apple. I'm happy with the quality, speed and picture size. The new iMac was out of my price range so I got the most for my money. If price is a concideration but you want the most for your money, this is the way to go. Best Buy shipped the product immediately and I was up and running quickly.

Excellent Buy..Worth the $$$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I went up to Best Buy with the intent on buying his and hers PCs. She saw the Mac and had no choice. It was love at first sight! FAST processing, amazingly easy set-up! Opened the box, plugged it in and it immediately found our wifi and she was off and running! The graphics are beautiful and streaming videos is a breeze without any lag time. The sound quality is okay, not of high end quality but for her needs, it is perfect! Also, back in the 90's when she owned a Mac, most software was not compatible with a Mac. Now, just about all her programs that she uses works with this machine! Little pricey at 1,749.00 but then again, you get what you pay for!

Makes You Want to Use It All the Time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Apple does it again. This machine is so powerful, I almost feel guilty for not using it to its full capabilities. The design is excellent and the screen quality superb. Why would anyone want to purchase any other computer?

Screen size is awesome, setup easy, worth the $$$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally I was going to buy the 21.5" iMac because of the cost but then realized I would not be able to upgrade the RAM without servicing ($$) since it requires removing the glass and literally all the internals to just to get access to the logic board. The huge display is amazing and just as good as the Retina iMac. The user accessible memory compartment will let me bump the memory to 32GB, which with the 3.2GHz processor will keep this computer running great for years to come even as Apple upgrades the OS and newer Mac models come out. I was told in store that the my Mac comes preinstalled with Yosemite, but in fact it came with Mavericks. This turned out good though since Yosemite reviews are not so great. Overall happy with the upgrade. Worth the extra $$.

No Easier Way to Go!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is the simply the easiest product to set up. Coming from Windows, the navigation and file operations take a little getting used to but it all really makes sense in the end. Great to compliment or complete the entire Apple ecosystem. You can receive texts and FaceTime on your desktop and finish on your iPhone or iPad. I was surprised at how fast this computer can execute commands. Very fast iTunes and other app speeds when compared to 3 year old Windows machine on the same internet connection. Just one note to buyers--the 27 inch screen is huge! If you are not sure go to BB and check out first. Highly recommended!

Wish I had bought it sooner!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This iMac has been great... It's easy to use, boots up quickly, has great software, syncs flawlessly with my other Apple devices... I only wish I had purchased a Mac earlier, rather than using more cumbersome Windows PC's in the past. The MAC OS and functionality takes some getting accustomed to if you've never used one, but within a few days of using it, it's hard to imagine using anything else. The Hard Drive is more than sufficient for all of my songs, movies and documents... With plenty left-over storage space. The 8Gb of RAM is great, the screen is awesome... I have nothing bad to say about this device!! I love how quickly it starts up and syncs perfectly with our other Apple devices... I have no regrets with buying this iMac!!

Great Bang for the Buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was comparing this computer to the i7 ones and saw a massive price jump. I live in NH and the nearest Apple Store was over 40 minutes away so when I saw this on sale at Best Buy I needed to jump on it. I had the RAM upgraded to 32GB and this thing blazes through anything I throw at it. I'm a designer and web developer and have yet to see the agonizing rainbow wheel.

Super fast and crystal clear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say about this computer. Well first off it has a super high resolution which makes everything super clear to watch. Love the all in one design. No more separate things to move around like monitor, CPU, etc. All you need to do is unplug and move it, it's that simple. Blazing fast and really easy to use.

Switching to Mac isn't as hard as it seems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have been PC people for years and after years of frustration, we decided to give this computer a try. It's AMAZING!! Everything is built right inside of it, so there's not a zillion cords running fro here to there. You start up the computer and nothing is running except the apps you want to run. There aren't 100 programs installed that you know you're going to have to uninstall because they're just using up space and useless. Everything on the mac is so easy to operate and everything on it is stuff you will use. The memory in it was sufficient for a regular user, however in our media business, we decided to upgrade the memory and it's so unbelievably simple to do compared to a PC. I will never go back to PC again!

Apple does it again
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was debating between an iMac or a Windows 8 machine. The crispness of the display and the ease of use of the Mac interface sold me. Have a Windoes 8 laptop and not enamored. Went ahead with the iMac and love it. Display is crisp. Machine is quick Great buy

This computer is great for video & photo editing!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Made this purchase primarily to edit video/photos. I'm running both FCPX and Adobe's CC and its super-fast. I love the large screen and wireless keyboard/mouse. I've been a PC guy for a long time and I can't say that I'll be switching back anytime soon. An iMac is a bit pricey but once you're set up you're solid, I haven't had a single issue with mine. If you need a cheaper option and already have peripherals try a Mac Mini, they have one available with the same specs.

Best all in one you can buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd iMac and each time I upgrade I worry that there won't be enough difference, and each time I am not disappointed. This iMac is lightning fast, including load and shut down times. The screen is brilliant and the colors are very realistic. The unit is lighter than previous versions and there is much less glare on the screen that previous versions due to the new coating. The processor handles everything I throw at it without hesitation, including rendering HD movies, photo editing, along with the basic stuff too. There are a couple things I recommend to make the computer even better. First is a numeric keypad or after-market full size BT keyboard. The Apple wireless keyboard is nice, but the fact that it is missing the numeric keypad is unacceptable and Apple does not sell their own BT version. The second thing is more RAM. Buy as much extra RAM as you can afford. It's cheap and easy to install.

A great computer, easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was running within 5 minutes off taking it out of the box. I upgraded to Mavericks which was easy to do. I was not keen on the magic mouse at first, but the scrolling function of just dragging your finger over the top of the mouse, won me over. Right-click functionality is also good. The iMac does not have an internal CD/DVD drive, but I already had an external USB drive, so no big deal. The external drive is not an Apple product, but plugs right in and works just fine. Also, If you don't like the wireless mouse, just plug in a USB mouse. Works just fine and you don't need to load drivers. I did have to download some drivers for my Canon printer, but that I expected. In short, works great.

Excellent overall!! Well worth the $$$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible graphics, the 27inch screen is amazing!! way over the top for a desktop computer!! Makes it fun to get work done every day, also extremely fast compared to my old (very expensive) computer. I was not an Apple believer but now I am! It only took a few days to learn the new language( new to me after being a Microsoft guy for 20 years)
