## Description

And it comes standard with 8GB memory, a 1TB hard drive, and advanced, high-speed I/O, including two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3 ports. This is a Renewed product, and will come in a generic box. Will include keyboard and mouse (may be generic, but will be iMac compatible)

Review: Good deal, great desktop computer... - 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.
Review: I upgraded by 2009 iMac - 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.
