I have used Apple products since the late 80's and have had 3 iMacs, this model being my 4th. As a stand alone computer, each model has been a workhorse. This model with Retina 5K display and native software is no exception. It comes with iMovie, QuickTime, Safari, iMessage, email, Numbers, Pages, Garage Band (to mention a few). The model has been best quality upgrade I've made in the entire line. It's ready for creative production and day-to-day work as soon as it's plugged in and connected to your files. Combined with Final Cut Pro, external hard drives and other add-on apps, this model has perfect for my small business media studios putting out video, photos, & graphics. I was able to grow my field of clients. With Apple Care service, still one of the top-tier customer service platforms around, my skills have also grown.

The price took me back a bit but that's to be expected it's Apple. I love the size of the screen and the design is so futuristic. The wireless mouse and the wireless keyboard is a great addition. Furthermore, I can open and close multiple tabs and the iMac keeps up considering I'm the type to have so many apps open and do so many things at once!
Negatives
A bit of a critique the fans are a little bit loud. Just a minor inconvenience.
The built-in apps that can't be uninstalled i.e Safari. I prefer google chrome. The Home App which I seldom use.Podcasts and News app and so many others which I don't use. They take up room and I'd much rather have them gone. I wish we had the ability to GET RID OF THEM with Apple products!
Subsequently, I wish Apple Care wasn't so expensive. Hence, why I didn't purchase it. In my opinion, it's not worth it. However, if it was an iPhone or MacBook then YES it makes sense. You tend to carry them and move them and chances are they can either end up stolen or broken due to a fall. However, it's up to you!
Also, I've had Apple products for a long time and I've never once had a virus or any malware problem. Furthermore, I've only had to replace the battery in my MacBook since it aged. Which cost me about 190 which wasn't bad. Plus it cost me almost 2k for the MacBook but it lasted 7-8 years so you have to put it in perspective. It was totally worth it!
I'll go on a tangent and add the insurance and warranty for the iPhone is totally worth it someone stole my iPhone at iHop when I just finished paying for it and I haven't been the same since. But again as far as the warranty or insurance for the iMac I'm totally against it unless you live in a bad neighborhood lol jk.
Last thing. I wish the iMac came in different colors. For the price, we are paying that's one option I wish we had. I have a Macbook and they came in different colors.

This computer has exceeded my expectations. I was working from a laptop previously, but the huge screen and good processing speed has been incredible. It's a BIG screen, but if you tend to have a lot of tabs open, you'll love it.

I was browsing apps like OfferUp for an iMac to try to save money and then realized i didn’t feel comfortable buying someone else’s computer. Then I decided to check out Best Buy for an iMac 27” that’s when I noticed the term open box for 629$ It was listed as fair condition. I was extremely nervous because I wasn’t sure what damage it would have. Then I saw a Asian dude on YouTube who saved 1000$ and he said if you don’t like it just return it but not to hesitate because someone else will buy it. So I took the chance and brought it. The next day I picked it up took it home opened the box and couldn’t believe my eyes this was a brand like new imac not one scratch or dent anywhere. Wow wow wow I’m still in shock that I purchased this 27” iMac for 629$ when it was listed brand new for 1800$. I feel blessed because I could probably use this for two years and sell it for exactly what I paid for it. The pictures don’t lie look at this beast of an iMac.

This computer is beautiful! I have bought many higher end models of other brands before I decided to give Apple products a try, and they always work good at first but within 2-3 years I find the computers slow down significantly and have issues, not the Macs. I have one other Mac from 2016 still working like the day I bought it, they are fast, secure and intuitive. Don’t give up all those things to save a couple hundred dollars, the stress alone is Not Worth it. Good luck and enjoy !

This is my first iMac and I truly love this purchase so much. The size on this screen is huge. I like that it has some weight to it, doesn’t feel light or cheap. I mainly use this computer for browsing, it does the job just fine.

For one thing Apple products are the best. My son and I both have iPhone’s (always have) along with Apple tablet’s. This is my first Apple Home Computer and I am in complete AWE! My 27” screen is ideal for me, plus it is super fast. Colors are so vibrant- crystal clear. Not only for my work, I am able to multi task, and if I choose; watch movies. My son is so envious because his computer took him two years to build for gaming….his is not APPLE. I reminded him three Christmas again I offer to purchase him one from Lynnhaven Mall / Apple Store. Thank goodness my computer is in my room because I don’t want anyone else touching it. I LOVE’er so much!
*I could have purchase the newer model for less money, but I wanted the larger screen. I also really like how the screen swivels.

I owned a 21” iMac in 2007 and loved it, but I just purchased this 27” unit and am amazed at not only the function and speed, but can we talk about the beauty of this machine? It’s perfect for a home office and would highly recommend it. The 5k Retina Display is unbelievably beautiful. Five starts from me!

I absolutely love my new purchase! I actually saved a couple hundred dollars and got a returned computer that was labeled in excellent condition and they were right. The screen is so clear and big! My son and law told me to get the 27in because it made everything easier and clearer when using double screens and he was so right! If the option to put 10 stars was here I would! Another product that I added was the Magic Trackpad! It really makes the difference, in fact it makes all the difference!

This was exactly what we were looking for. My wife needed a new upgrade for the office so we decided to go with an iMac since we are already apart of the Apple ecosystem. It makes all of her assignments more fluid especially with the handoff feature. We love it. Great picture and sound. They just introduced the new iMacs with the colors, but we can see a reason to upgrade this beauty!! You can’t go wrong with an IMac.

As a Audio Engineer and producer, this Imac is the perfect job for it, no lag, no slow responses, perfect for any studio. For Miscellaneous purposes, it’s the perfect desktop to give your home the Apple aesthetic. Very fast when I’m on safari looking for drum kits, and the download speed is fast (depends on size of app and WiFi speed) and I’ve had no

This is a Great Computer. We have 2 of them. This one replaced my wife’s older IMac. It’s Fast, the screen is unbelievable. I was able to transfer all of my old Documents, Files and Programs from her older computer to her New computer with ease.
