Just bought this iMac on Monday. Hooked it up today and it works perfectly. My only complaint is that Amazon has already dropped the price another $10.50 cents. If you are not in a hurry, you might wait to see how much more they will drop the total…

I am blown away at the professionalism of this seller!!! They were wonderful to me!!! I have not been a Mac user and was a bit of a pain in the neck I am afraid. I was treated as I would have never imagined possible. I had to cancel my first order to upgrade after I already ordered. No problem.I received a very nice email instead of attitude. It made me want to find something they had for sale. It has been so refreshing to be put before the almighty dollar.

I STRONGLY recommend buying from these guys!!! I would pay more to buy from these people if necessary, but that is not the case!! Their prices were also the best!!!

I am 100% satisfied and know that you will be too!!!!

Lightweight, durable, fast, and easy to use. Love that it’s ready to go right out of the box. If you are looking at Macs, definitely consider an MBP.

I anxiously awaited this summer 2010 update to the iMac line.

iMacs offer a better value than one might think, and the space saving they offer compared to having many components spread out on a desk, make them an attractive offering from Apple.

My current iMac was an aging model, summer 2007. The first iMac with aluminum enclosure. Honestly, however, it is not far off the machines of today particularly notebook models. The iMacs are aging nicely, and I’m sure this new model will too. iMacs tend to offer a better value than notebooks and because they aren’t carried around, can have better reliability / longevity too.

When I opened this new computer, I loved the widescreen display. This display is 16×9 similar to a television, whereas conventional widescreen computer monitors were 16×10 (including my old iMac). The extra width gives you more room to fit documents across your desktop (screen) while working. I like that.

Furthermore, don’t let anyone suggest that this is not a fast computer. Its 3.06 GHZ i3 processor includes hyper threading to give you up to four “virtual,” cores. Some argue that this feature isn’t useful, or that not enough applications utilize hyper threading. However, I was able to look at CPU usage and see video encoding software on my computer using the multiple threads. It was fast.

I chose the 21.5 inch model because my desk is simply too small to house the 27-inch model. The 27 is absolutely staggering in size. I would choose it, if I had the room, but the 21.5 is far from being a slouch and is somewhat more sensible looking.

It features standard 4GB of memory, which can be easily upgraded to 8GB by buying two additional 2GB sticks. A 500 GB hard drive being standard on this model will be plenty for all but the hard drive pack rats out there. While optical media is less popular today, do not forget this iMac can play DVDs and burn DVDs. Burning DVDs can also be useful to backup important data such as your family photographs. The speed of the drive is satisfactory, and it is the cool slot loading variety.

A SD card slot is located under the DVD drive, to easily load pictures onto your computer direct from your camera’s SD card.

Why choose this 1199 model over the 1499 21.5 inch? Both are actually competent machines. The 1499 model gives you a larger hard drive (1 TB over 500 GB, so twice the size), and it has a faster graphics processor, which is useful when gaming and in other graphic intensive applications. While I chose the 1499 model, the 1199 doesn’t lack much, if that final ten tenths of graphic performance and extra hard drive space is not something you believe you will need.

The $1199 model is the RIGHT choice, unless you “know,” you need the specific benefits of the 1499 model (larger hard drive and faster graphics processor). Truly, this $1199 model is one of the best values of any Mac right now.

The iMacs are great values over notebooks, if you don’t need portability. You get more performance, more storage, and a massive display by comparison of a MacBook Pro. All at an attractive price.

One of my favorite features? iMacs have included for the past year bluetooth keyboards and mice standard! That means when you take the iMac out of the box, if you have wireless internet, you can be up and running by simply plugging in the power cord. The Magic Mouse and keyboard are both wireless and work flawlessly. They are easier on batteries than you might think too, though they take easy to acquire AAs.

Included software? The latest operating system Mac OS X Snow Leopard is included, plus iLife 09. iLife includes great and useful applications such as iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band.

Someone new to Mac might consider picking up the Student/Teacher/Home edition of Microsoft Office for Mac. It runs beautifully and has a Mac feel to it, despite being a Microsoft product.

My final verdict? I absolutely adored the machine. It was the fastest Mac I had ever used and a solid upgrade over my previous iMac. However, a week into ownership I discovered that the bottom and right side of my screen had a yellow tinge/appearance to it. A white background window, such as Amazon.com page, looked beautiful and white in the top left, but on the rest of the display, it turned yellowish. I had invested so much time transferring my data from my old iMac to my new one. I had to transfer everything back and securely erase the new one before returning it. I didn’t want to go through that entire process again, during my busy time of the year, so I just returned it for a refund. Once I have some spare time to go through all the trouble, I will try again. Just be sure to check your display when it arrives because I have read some others having a similar display issue on the Mac Rumors forums.

Overall, this iMac was an impressive update. It features the latest processors, plenty of storage, and offers one of the best Mac values. The display is a great size and aspect ratio, but be sure to check it for the yellowish color when it arrives.

I was (and still am) a Lenovo and Dell user, this is my first Apple computer. I have to say that the Leopard OS is NOT amazing nor significant better than Windows, in my opinion. I find it funnier to use and a little more user friendly. I like this desktop simplicity and colorful screen. Having all the ports in the back is a little inconvenient but nothing you can’t solve easily. The computer is very quiet and fast, and the wireless keyboard and mouse work flawlessly.

I am totally happy with this laptop (it’s preformance, specs, etc.) Battery life is not an issue, as it will NOT leave my house (My Lenovo IdeaPad does the outside work)

I bought two of these new 21.5-inch iMacs. One for myself, and one for my parents. The iMacs work great and the displays are simply beautiful! And the great software is possibly the most important: Mac OS X is simply the best operating system in existence.

What a beautiful machine. The back lit LED screen is much brighter and the speed of this machine makes our old Imac seem lethargic.

Purchased the 15″ macbook pro to replace an iMac that severla years old (still runs awesome, but I wanted a new toy). The Mac’s are pricey which would be the only complaint. I purchased it on a 12 month financing deal so that helped ease that pain.

The machine itself is awesome. I used migration assistant to migrate my files and settings and it worked flawlessly, painlessly and easily. The 15″ version is the perfect size for me. I tried a 13″ last year and it was too tiny; the 17″ too big. The performance for the week or so I have had it is wonderful. It shuts down so quickly – no waiting. So efficient.

I was amazed at how light the machine is. My husband has a 15″ windows based laptop and I expected it to be the same weight, but the macbook weighs about half his laptop.

I love my MBA. I travel a lot and the weight was my primary concern. This machine is great it does everything I need it to do. Because the computing world is mostly in the cloud these days all you really need is a device to connect wireless or wire up with the included USB LAN adapter. I travel internationally so skype is my primary means of communication. The camera and microphone are great. The MBA is the Ipad with a camera. If you travel and don’t want to lug a lot of weight get an MBA
