Product ReviewsNew Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display (27-inch, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage)

Excellent computer, with some info for techs

AMAZING - but PLEASE NOTE!!!
This came in PERFECT condition and exactly as advertised. And, I got it BEFORE it was expected!
BUT - for technical people - 2 important things to note:
1) The OS was not installed with a Recovery Disk! This is really important. It had a fresh Big Sur install, but to do any support, Command+R was not available, and on checking there was no data in the recovery disk (or it was too corrupted for the system to see it). I'm glad I checked (and I usually do my own fresh OS install, anyway). A fresh re-installation of the OS created the recovery disk made this perfect.
2) The 32GB RAM came on one chip. This is a great thing, if you use this for major work (I do a lot of video work), so another 32GB chip (matching Samsung, in this case) gives me that bit of speed boost, and it's very inexpensive 64GB machine. Hard to find a single chip, but I did.
Aside from these minor issues - this is an excellent purchase.Read full review...

Great Workhorse

I’ve had this unit for about a month now and it’s everything I need from a desktop for photo, video or music production. Its processor, SSD and video card makes using these intense apps quick and responsive. The hardware specs (WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, etc) also means you can feel relatively safe that you won’t absolutely need to buy a new desktop in 7 years if kept in good condition.
Tips: I bought the 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD option to save on the overall price. I added 32GB for a little over $100 which is a third of what it would’ve cost to find it on eBay already installed. I use a $70 1TB external drive for permanent storage most of my photos, videos and music files. Moving onto them into the computer only during the workflow saves money and space on the computer’s hard drive. Using these two options saved me around $500. Read full review...

Great deal, You can't go wrong here!

I've had a 27 inch iMac for the last 11 years. It was still working fine, but I wanted to do 4K video editing and needed something newer. This new iMac is faster with a much improved usb and SD card bus. The price was fantastic too. I know that it was an open box model, but I saved 500 dollars vs going to Best Buy. I couldn't tell that the item had ever been opened. There were no significantly noticeable blemishes or scratches on the product upon opening. This was a great purchase, I am very happy.Read full review...

Powerful all in one with many bells and whistles.

I will start off by saying I don't normally do reviews unless they are negative. I have had companies ask for reviews before I even received the product. In the case of this 27in iMac w/Retina display i5 3.3 Ghz 8gb 512gb SSD which I've had a little over a month. I could not tell that it was not brand new. The only sign that it might have been open box was the box and that was even in good shape. Performance has been great so far. I ordered a 32gb ram upgrade before the iMac arrived. I would recommend this product to any one who wants a powerful all in one desk top. I could not be more happy with this machine then I am at this time.Read full review...

Exactly what I hoped it would be

I moved over from a laptop/external monitor setup. What I had was workable, however I had a ton of accessories, wires, and they were all from different brands. I love this setup because the iMac has everything I need in one nice package. Works like a dream for my admin and video heavy job. Looking forward to doing some music production as well.Read full review...

Still the best

Still the best Mac desktop value on the market. Great 5K screen ability to upgrade RAM unit is great. Not sure that the next generation M2 Apple I Mac will be worth the costly upgrade but this device remains the standardRead full review...

Great price...I hired a tech to transfer contacts, etc and set it up for me.

Yes, it works

Great so far. But I've only had it for a week. The best thing about this, I bought it was 8 gigs of Ram, then bought lots of 3rd party Ram to put it.
