Apple iMac 21.5" MK452LL/A (Late 2015) 4K Retina Display - Core i5 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD (Renewed)

I put this iMac into service February, 2018. Even though it was refurbished, it seemed to be in new condition. Everything works and it is much faster than other Macs I have (due to Quad core). The screen is bright and sharp. The Magic Mouse is great. I wish the keyboard had a ten key number pad. I've been back with Mac since 2004 after living in the PC world for almost 20 years. Neither world is perfect, but I enjoy the integration of the Apple eco-system and use it to the fullest with iPhone, iPads, and AppleTV's. The way that family works together is without parallel in the PC world. ======== Update (2 years later): Ultimately I found the internal 1TB HDD to be too slow...bootup took forever...so I took it to my local Apple certified support store and had them swap that out for a 256Gb SSD. It now boots very quickly and seems to have less problems with the OS clean-installed on that SSD. I keep all data on an external Drobo drive so that all that is on the SSD permanently is the OS...which leaves about 185Gb of temp storage space for working space. It also works well for iCloud documents which disappear from the local drive after a period of inactivity with a given document. ========== Update 2 (after 4 years) I have four Macs in operation ranging in dates from 2010 (running El Capitan) to a new M1 MacMini. I do have Big Sur running on this 2015 iMac without problems or stalling issues. Of the four, I think this iMac may be the most dependable and robust of the lot. It is really a good computer (after the SSD upgrade I mentioned above)....maybe the best Mac I've ever owned (and I'm sure I've had at least 10). This is a heqq of a value.

After using an IMac, since 2007, it was time for an upgrade; thanks mainly to third party vendors. My old iMac could not be upgraded to Sierra. So, I found this deal. It is a very nice machine, for under $1000. It came well packed; double boxed, so it will survive UPS. The machine looks brand new. It came with everything you need Super Keyboard, Super Mouse 2, charging cord for the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse were already paired. Turning it on, I immediately could tell is was a much faster machine. I used the Apple Migration Tool, and had everything on my old machine, moved over to the new one. Also, I upgraded it through Sierra to High Sierra, to be current. So far, everything I use, software wise, is working fine. Internal speakers are really good. Also, the 4k screen is a real plus and looks great. I did purchase a two year warranty, just in case. But, based upon my experience, so far, I think I will get a few years out of this.

I wasn't sure what I was getting buying a refurbished Mac. So far it's been fine. Takes a little while longer to boot up than I expected, but I can overlook that considering I got a "new to me" Mac for $500. Wish it had Microsoft Office for Mac...have to use my MacBook Pro for that. No big deal. They sent a standard wired keyboard and mouse with it which was nice of them to do, but I went ahead and order the wireless Apple keyboard and already had the Apple wireless mouse. The 21" screen is really big, glad I didn't go for the larger screen, it wasn't needed. Only reason I rated Tech Support so low as you don't get Tech Support with a used Mac, obviously. I have, however, found Apple Tech Support to be very helpful when I have called them for other computers I've had. The webcam works well for meetings on Zoom and the sound isn't half bad when listening to music or podcasts. Overall this was a great purchase and I'm happy with it.

My early 2009 iMac was still working well, but it was limited in ability to run the newest software. It had a 24 inch screen, so it was a large one. I upgraded to this late 2015 iMac with a 21.5 inch screen. The better resolution on the new Mac makes the smaller size be no problem. It came with El Capitan operating system, the same as on my previous iMac, and I was afraid that I would again be unable to upgrade. However, after transferring all of my files to the new computer, I downloaded and installed Mojave. Man, it works well! Faster than my 2009 iMac and with new abilities. I don't know why the refurbisher did not install the newer operating system (2 steps up); it is free. One thing I had to adjust to: I used Excel on my old Mac. It was an early version of the spreadsheet, bought when I did not have to have a subscription to use it. I was happy with it. However, with the new iMac I am unable to use the Excel spreadsheet except for read-only. The same is undoubtedly true for Word, although I haven't tried it. (Somehow Microsoft knows when you change machines and try to transfer Excel to the new one. I use a spreadsheet for only 1-2 hours per week, and I refuse to pay Microsoft $60 a year to use it. So I opened the 8-10 Excel spreadsheets into Numbers (Apple's answer to Excel). Some things are different, especially graphs (which Numbers calls "charts"), but I have been able to to everything with Numbers that I did with Excel--and Numbers comes free with Mac. I can even export a Numbers 'sheet as an Excel spreadsheet for my few Windows friends. I have used Apple's Pages rather than Word for some time, so that is no problem. The computer came with the small Apple keyboard and mouse. I had a large keyboard with a number pad, and I will continue to use it. I do like the Apple mouse, however, and am using it. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with my iMac, as I have been with all things Apple.

Best purchase amazing price! Apple is a phenomenal computer and safeguard. I would buy the apple keyboard and a wireless mouse as that is the ONLY issue unless you dont mind a different keyboard and wired mouse

Says in description that it may not come with original keyboards and mouse, which is fine but I was expecting at least comparable ones. Came with cheap wired keyboard and mouse which is really disappointing. Computer responds slowly to keyboard and mouse that it came with. Until I can dish out more money for a better keyboard and mouse I cant necessarily be sure that it isn't the computer that is overall slow. Will update review when I get a a keyboard and mouse that isn't garbage. UPDATE: don't waste your money. This is absolute garbage. I've gone through 3 different mouse and keyboard combinations and all of them have the same issue: the computer doesn't respond to them properly. It will add extra letters and ignore others randomly. Trying to sign in is a nightmare when your keyboard doesn't work. The computer is slower than molasses in winter. I wish I used it enough during the return period to be able to send it back, but I'm stuck with it. Wasted money, steer clear.

I don’t know how to return it or I would. It is very slow. Even using gmail. Only good for a dual screen

and very happy now. No more frustration. Very solid computer. Takes a bit to get used to how Mac does things but not hard at all. Downloaded a few programs & installed easily. Had a secondary unwanted program sneak in undetected which fowled things up but was easily removed & back to rock solid condition. Big issue was transferring window based Quickbooks & wireless Canon all-in-one to Mac. Downloaded couple drivers & both started working even thought I didn't know what I was doing. Gotta love that. To hell with windows. Update 3/12/20- IMac still working perfectly. Bought new IPhone to go with it as I'm tired of Android communication issues with my vehicle infotainment system. Communication was hit-&-miss. Plugged in my new IPhone...everything works as expected & without complicated issues as windows gave me. I've had a windows PC since they were sold to private people back in the 90's. Mac is the way to go now. Little bit different, but same. Wish I had done this years ago. Fed up with windows 10 upgrades. Not going to take it any more! (Twisted Sister pun)

Muy buen artículo estoy satisfecho por ahora

La mia recensione a tre stelle è dovuta soltanto a un fatto solo. La pagina del prodotto non descrive completamente il modello che mi è arrivato in casa. Anche se impeccabile perfettamente funzionante e comunque lo tengo. Il processore non è da 3,1 GHz ma da 2,8 GHz. Invece lo schermo non è 4K display retina ma un HD sRGB 1920x1080. La tastiera è mouse forniti non originali, ma comunque nuovi. Comunque, anche con queste specifiche, lo avrei preso lo stesso. Per una tipologia di correttezza, sono comunque costretto di lasciare tre stelle per una descrizione non accurata.

NA TERAZ JEST DOBRZE.wizuaknie idealnie.Mam nadzieję ,że tak samo będzie działał.Jak będzie dobrze współpracował z programem davinci to kupię drugi.Klawiatura niemiecką nie pasuję jak będę następną zamawiał to proszę wersję polską.Bedę w kontakcie pozdrawiam.

The more like is the quality of product

Der Computer funktioniert einwandfrei!
