I am learning how to use Apple Mac computers (I now have two of them) as I have used PCs for many years and Apples are different but are more user friendly! I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the 21.5" screen with all the computer system built-in to it and really like the OS X El Capitan system it is loaded into the computer as I can now get the latest Apple apps from the Apple Store; as well as to download several programs from the internet which I enjoy. My other older Macbook is also an older OS X (Lion) and I cannot download many of the apps I want because of the age of the computer system and I cannot upgrade the system either so it's fairly useless to me, but this one (even though there is a lot to learn as I switchover from PC Windows to Mac) does the trick perfectly for me! It has been completely refurbished and works well without a flaw to it! I am using it with the new, small Apple keyboard and the really neat new Apple Magic Mouse 2 which works differently than any computer mouse I have ever used before this time and one that I can recharge the batteries also. Nice big screen (21.5 inch) which I don't have to enlarge the text to be able to see it clearly as I am a retired, older man and usually have to use reading glasses to read the PC screen but not with this model. Very easy to set up (but I had a little problem getting it out of the shipping box because it has such a large screen) to get on the WiFi internet, my email servers, and other things that I set up from the System Preference program. I would highly recommend this computer to all who want an older, refurbished iMac computer or a similar one made at the same time by Apple. I noticed that the seller has sold all of this model of the refurbished iMac computer but I would highly recommend him for any of the other computers he has for sale as he used the fast delivery of FedEx and they delivered the machine a day before the first delivery time indicated when I would receive it. An excellent product well-worth the price I paid for it and a lot less expensive than buying a new iMac computer (which I cannot afford)!Read full review

This is an excellent product. Feature friendly, and performance is excellent. One thing to consider with this setup is the LCD. They have the tendency to run hot, due to the close nature of LCD to the processor. Make sure you download an app to monitor fan motor speed and be careful of leaving the display active for long periods of time. This have a way of burn and fading the screen, burning the LCD. Browning will appear in places and that may appear as a haze. Apple has acknowledged this an worked to change the set up, but from my experience and many of the threads on the Apple site, this is a major issue and something to consider in the maintaince of your iMac.
This is a very nice computer and the good thing about Apple is that 5 year old computer still pretty current performance wise. I upgraded with a SSD hard drive and the computer is very fast to find files and specially start up. Also I upgraded up to 16GB of RAM. Today those upgrades are not so expensive I spend 130 dollars in RAM and 100 dollars in a 256GB SSD drive also you will need a Digital Thermal sensor cable that it cost 40 dollars and the kit to put the computer apart and put back together that run around 20 dollars. so for few hunderd buck you have a 2020 computer fast, great for multimediia work Audio video editing great speed. You can buy an external hard drive and save space
This is the third one of these machines that I have purchased for a member of my family. They are beautifully executed, easy to set up and use, and very low maintenance. My family members have taken to them likes ducks to water. All were former windoze users, but have enjoyed using Macs. My brother-in-law who is a musician by hobby, appreciates all of the music-related things that can be done easily on the Mac. He has told me that he could have done them on his windoze machine, but it would have required hardware upgrades costing a few hundred dollars. With the Mac, he bought a $50 piece of software and a $25 connector. My brother is an amateur (although he would take issue and say professional) photographer. His most pressing need has always been organizing his hobby. His Mac, with iPhoto (I told you he's an amateur), permits him to categorize, organize, and catalog his hobby. He has some 30,000 digital images that he has taken, and the Mac and iPhoto permit him to produce CDs, DVDs, and books that he sends to friends and family. My sister-in-law is a radiologist, and has been impressed by the clarity of the imaging on the Mac, and how many native tools exist for her work. This machine fits a wide range of users and does it well. Comparatively, a Mac will cost less over time, deliver a better user experience, with less frustration.Read full review
I love this machine, easy to use, and it looks as though it was well cared for. I am new to iMacs, having been a PC user for many years, but what I have found is that these machines are well made and that is why I am slowly switching to the Mac. If you want a good machine this is it, do the research and find a good one that is working well and shows very little wear. When you find one, don't think about it, just get it, you won't be sorry.
