    If you're a graphic artist or photographer or simply enjoy the value of amazing resolutions and graphics, this computer is amazing. If you're a gamer looking for performance? then it's of course better to look elsewhere, but for all artistic purposes, Apple continues to provide great quality.

    I owned a Mac II Ci twenty years ago. And then switched to a windows machine. Then I decided to return to the Macintosh platform. I'm so glad that I did. The ease of use, and the compatibility with my other Apple products (iPad and iPhone) makes my new 27.5 inch iMac with a Retina display a joy to use. The feature that I appreciate most of the iMacs, and the MacBooks too, is the Time Machine hard drive back-up. A couple of my friends who are iMacs owners, have used the Time Machine images to recover from hard disk crashes, and they said that it extremely easy to use. The iMacs are pricey, but I recommend it to everyone.

    The display is just awesome.....you feel you're in a home entertainment center with SenSurround due to the stereo speakers. Great packaging, easy set-up. I'd buy one again.

    From the moment I started removing it from the packaging, I knew it would be a beautiful product. Even the box and packing materials are aesthetically pleasing. Set up was a breeze and the computer is fast enough. An SSD would be nice, but I bought this for the display. 5k is PHENOMENAL. Easily the best display I've ever seen. You pay a lot but you get a lot.

    I bought this computer to be able to have a better FaceTime experience with my family. They live on the other side of the world from me and I rely on FaceTime to stay in touch. I have used apple products for years, but only iPads and iPods. This is my first Mac. It is taking a bit of time to learn to use it after so many years of PC use, but that screen and FaceTime are excellent! It is like my family is near life size!

    This sleek iMac did not disappoint. The picture on this 27" wide screen is crystal clear and the color is fabulous. Everything is razor sharp from texts to pictures or videos & sound. iMac will always be our first choice.

    I am very impressed with my purchase and I'm a first time buyer of an Apple product. Savannah at Best Buy was helping me out and she answered all of my questions before I bought it. I use my computer for school and the screen is the perfect size for me to have multiple windows open to do my research. The keyboard is nice and smooth and the mouse was new for me to learn. It's only one click instead of right or left click. However I love that you can swipe pages with the mouse if you're reading a book online. Also, scrolling up and down on multiple windows without clicking on it, really amazed me. I love it!

    I am a Video editor and have been editing on Macs for a number of years. This iMac has been a great addition to my editing suite. For the average user, this is a big investment but great computer. For the editors, musicians, and creative types, this is a needed part of your gear.

    When Apple introduced the iMac with Retina 5K in Late 2014, it was groundbreaking and it stood alone as the most impressive desktop computer in the world. A year has passed since then, and it still stands alone. When it came out, a lot of people felt it was too expensive, but as it stands a year later high quality 4K monitors still cost between $1000 and $2000 or more, just for the monitor. For example, Dell's 5K monitor is $1600 by itself. Dell Ultra HD 5K Monitor UP2715K 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor. This means that if you bought a Dell tower PC with similar specifications, it would cost far more
