I have been using a 27 inch Imac for eleven years and now my wife decided she wanted it for her own. I wanted to buy another 27 inch but found they don't make that size anymore, only a 24 inch. I opted to try a refurbished on and got a three years extended warranty that was very reasonable just in case. I am very satisfied with my decision. It came packed very well and I looks like it was never used at all.
