I didn’t know what to expect for an iMac that cost a little over $245.00. But I didn’t expect to get a fantastic machine. I thought I’d get a nice little something comparable to a moderately priced PC. But OMG, was I wrong!It arrived well packaged with an off-brand mouse and keyboard. After all about three minutes, the entire thing was installed. It’s just one plug and typing in my wi-Fi password.I started pushing the icons at the bottom and they were very slow to load. I figured, what do you expect for $245? Well they were only slow the first time, after that the machine is so fast, I’d compare it to my bosses fancy IMac.The computer suggested I update it, which I did, and then it suggested that I update the operating system to Monterey. It took two tries, but I now have the Monterey Operating System loading perfectly.I have an iPad, I choose not to transfer all the data from my iPad to the iMac, which turns out was completely fine because most of everything like Apps, my writing and Artwork are in the Cloud. Seems to me, everything’s opening up just about as fast as it does on my 2021iPad Pro.You might ask why would I want an iMac, if I have an iPad. That’s because an iPad can’t do everything a computer can. Like some Apps don’t completely work with an iPad and writing with an iPad feels a bit cramped.I could go on about all the things I love about this iMac, but most Apple users know how fabulous products are. But… I had no idea about the iMac speakers. With tears of gratitude in my eyes as I write this, the speakers sound so great, if I wasn’t such a sound system snob, I’d say, even playing music, the iMac speakers are enough.The machine is perfect, not a scratch on it. The display is gorgeous and I love the size, as the big ones hurt my neck looking up. Every part of this iMac exceeds my expectations.I did some research, and very soon my new iMac is going to be considered obsolete. I don’t care. I’ll be careful to get the Apps I need ASAP and I’ll use those without an expectation to add the new M1 compatible Apps.My Grandson plays games, if the iMac can’t handle them, he can borrow my iPad. What else do I need?I’m so happy, I’m so pleased.If something disagreeable comes up, I’ll be sure to review that ASAP, but for now…this is a great deal that would make almost anyone happy! I mean this is a real game changer… You don’t have to be affluent to get your kid, partner or yourself and iMac anymore! This thing would truly make a great Christmas present!
