Can you believe someone would ship out a computer in a box with no cushioning whatsoever? All I kept thinking is, “My computer better work after rattling around in this box all the way from IL to FL.” Luckily, at this point, it seems to be working as it should. This is my second 27” iMac. I purchased the first in 2011 and since the OS cannot be updated past Maverick, I cannot update Google Chrome, therefore many websites will no longer work properly with it. So this renewed 2017 model is just what I needed. It came with Sierra OS installed, but I’ve updated to Ventura, which is free in the App Store. I have access to all of the websites that I need and have found some great apps to add to it, that weren’t available for my first iMac. As someone who designs home interiors and does graphic and web design, having a computer with this large screen, vibrant and true colors, and both easy and sensible navigation, is imperative. In my experience, Windows computer screens look so washed out and lack luster. With my iMac, no matter what the angle, the colors and clarity remain stable. If you haven’t had the privilege of owning an iMac, do it. But note that the 27” iMac is no longer being manufactured, only the smaller sizes. So getting a certified renewed one is your best bet if you desire a 27” and I would advise not getting anything older than a 2017. That way, you won’t have the updating issues that I had with my first iMac. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, then you can go with a 2019 or newer.
