Fantastic computer and integrated display. Top of the line model in 2017 for half the price of newest model today. Can’t beat that unless you must have USB-C/TB-3. USB 3 is fine for me. Very easy access to add RAM.

This new iMac replaces the original 2007 aluminum body iMac that was still running strong, but just not able to keep up with the latest Mac OS and the software demands from FCPX and the Adobe Creative Suite. After unboxing this late-2015 model and taking it for a spin, it is (of course), a HUGE difference from my old one. The 5K screen and the upgrade to High Sierra are just phenomenal and to have picked it up at the sale price that I did through Adorama made the whole transaction an incredibly positive experience.

What a deal! I bought this and a MacBook for my daughter starting college. Exact same specs as the 2018 models at the big box store, but saved over $1000. Super fast shipping. I ordered both at like 8 PM one night and within three hours UPS had sent me an email saying it was picked up and in transit. Had the computer two days later. Great service, prices, and selection. One of the rare case it is not to good to be true!

I was on the verge of buying the latest 2017 model when I saw these on sale for hundreds cheaper. I weighed sacrificing USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3 and realized I could at least recycle my Thunderbolt 2 equipment by going this route. Aside from connectivity, this is the last version to use laptop grade equipment for graphics. Considering this will be limited to Lightroom, that didn't matter so much as Adobe has yet to fully embrace discrete graphics in OS X anyways. I guess my biggest reservation is the inability to change out the hard disk for SSD without great hassle. So far, it's been a lot faster than what I was accustomed to, that being a mid-2011 iMac, when exporting photos in Lightroom after processing. Sure, it's not the fastest, but it's not a drag race nor will it ever be unless you're physically lining your machine alongside mine to show me just how much slower I'm working at. With another 16GB of RAM dropped in when I got it, this machine performs every bit as fast as its specs would indicate when using Lightroom and Photoshop. Compared to the same specced iMac in a 2017 vintage, I saved $ off the current cheapest price, at full retail. For what I saved I reinvested in upgrading my NAS and ended up with a system that further secures my data at much faster speeds, allowing me to access Lightroom from two computers and away from home. Totally worth it.

This computer came in two days as promised. I am very pleased with it. I love how my IPad and other Apple products sync in with each other. At this price it is a must buy. Thanks Adorama for making it affordable.

When working in the field or in studio having reliable equipment its most important. I work along side a pro that holds a 20 year record of receipts from ADORAMA. That alone spoke for it self and my 27" iMac was purchased. I called to confirm my online order and with great surprise was answered by a real person who with a simple click of her computer said yes sir, your order is confirmed and set to be shipped. As scheduled my iMac arrived on time in perfect condition. This iMac was purchased for FCPX and does a perfect job running it. Thanks ADORAMA, See you online for my next perfect purchase. See you soon for my next purchase.

Editing digital photos is a joy on the iMac’s 27” 5K screen. Plenty of processing power, 2TB Fusion drive, and some third party RAM give this model plenty of horsepower for running photo processing software. Ordering couldn’t have been easier and free shipping was fast. Adorama is my go-to store for everything photo and computer related. Highly recommended.

We didn't want to spend the money on a new "Apple" but your price on the refurbished model was just right. The product arrived quickly and was in perfect shape. Very happy with the purchase.

I have been using this imac for Lightroom CC and Luminar and it is very fast. No hesitation on sliders and very fast when exporting. if you are looking for a great computer with an unbelievable monitor you cant go wrong with the imac 27 inch 5k with the I5 16gb ram and ss hard drive. I upgraded my ram to 24gb.

This is my 4th. Apple computer and it's by far my favorite. The screen is gorgeous and makes my amateur photos look professional, especially with the new features for editing with the Photos app. The price and service from Adorama have been beyond expectations.! I've enjoyed the whole experience.

Once you've worked on a 5K screen nothing else will do. This computer deal makes the world's best screen affordable, and the fusion drive makes the computer fast enough for the vast majority of users. Video editing and gaming might require a higher spec machine - but at about double the cost. I use Apple Aperture software to organize and process thousands of 36 megapixel images - this iMac handles those tasks with ease. The Apple mouse is great, but new keyboards stink: budget for the ultimate DAS Mac tactile keyboard if typing & productivity are important. Saving hundreds of dollars should free up enough cash to treat yourself to a real keyboard.

Best photo viewer and handler available. If you can afford this you will own the best item on the planet to view and process your photos. Buy Apple Care at same time to protect this investment. I am completely satisfied.

I bought this when my 2011 Macbook graphics chip died. I already had a 27” apple display so now I have 2 27” display. Adorama gave me a great deal, fast shipping and this Imac is fast/powerful. I use it for studio music recording and photo editing

New to Mac. I have to say that this machine makes the switch more enjoyable. The clarity of the display is wonderful and the speed of the boot-up is quite rapid (10 seconds). PLENTY of storage at 2 TB. No lag time when pulling up programs. Adorama had a great price on this product - unbeatable! Also, very quick shipping and the box was well-packed.

This is a great deal as it's currently priced. It's a 2015 model but well equipped and will quite a few years.

This was a great deal for an iMac. It runs great, has speed, the fusion drive accesses data fast enough for me and it has enough ports for my external drives as well. I am happy with the computer and the price and shipping, along with Adorama’s fantastic service.

I love this Mac
By TOM M.
I do a lot of Ancestry, photography, and photoshop work, and I love this Mac. I've added several 500GB SDD drives via the USB ports for storage, have ordered 16GB of Mac RAM via Newegg for $67 to upgrade the RAM to 24GB. The RAM will only take a couple of minutes to install since there is only a RAM door on the back to access. The display is stunning. The service at ADORAMA was great.
Top of the Line
By Ralph J.
Great machine. Bought extra 3d party memory to enhance performance. Haven't found anything yet it won't do for me, SSD is very fast. I'd buy it again.
14.7 million pixels. And the power to do beautiful things with them.
iMac has always been about having a huge, immersive place to see and create amazing things. So making the best possible iMac meant making the best possible display. The 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display has four times as many pixels as the standard 27-inch iMac display. So you experience unbelievable detail. On an unbelievable scale.
At such a scale, even the best existing technologies wouldn't have made this iMac possible. So Apple did the impossible - developing a display with the performance to light up 14.7 million pixels, reducing energy consumption while maintaining their high standard for brightness, and advancing image quality for the most striking contrast ever.
And Apple did it all without compromising the incredibly thin design, just 5 mm at its edge.
The most stunningly powerful iMac yet.
iMac with Retina 5K display doesn't stop with an amazing screen. With a quad-core Intel Core processor available at up to 4.0GHz, the latest AMD graphics, an advanced Fusion Drive, and Thunderbolt 2, there's a very powerful Mac behind all those pixels.
OS X Yosemite. The world's most advanced desktop operating system.
OS X is what makes a Mac a Mac. Not only is it designed to be intuitive and easy to use, but it's also engineered to take full advantage of the Retina 5K display, so you'll see everything on your desktop with stunning clarity. It features an incredible collection of apps you'll use - and love - every day. And it's designed to enable your Mac and iOS devices to work together in amazing ways.
Apple's best built-in apps. The best they've ever looked.
Every new Mac comes with Photos, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. So you can be creative with your photos, videos, music, documents, spreadsheets, and presentations right from the start. You also get great apps for email, surfing the web, sending texts, and making FaceTime calls - there's even an app for finding new apps.
The power behind the scenes - Fourth-generation Intel Core processors.
These are the most powerful iMac models yet. A fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core i5 processor up to 3.5GHz is standard. And if you need even more power, a quad-core 4.0GHz Intel Core i7 processor is available. Whichever you choose, you can be sure you'll have the performance and speed you need.
The latest AMD graphics
iMac with Retina 5K display features the latest AMD high-performance graphics with up to 3.5 teraflops of graphics compute power. So whether you're watching a movie or making one, playing a game or designing one, the power behind all those pixels delivers smooth animation, speed, and responsiveness for the best visual experience possible.
The most advanced I/O gets 2x faster
Thunderbolt 2 Thunderbolt I/O technology offers extraordinary transfer speeds and incredibly versatile expansion capabilities. iMac with Retina 5K display comes with Thunderbolt 2 - delivering twice the throughput to provide up to 20 Gbps of bandwidth to each port. Connect high-performance peripherals such as external drives, cameras, and audio and video devices for the fastest data transfer yet.
802.11ac Wi-Fi. iMac supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When it's connected to an 802.11ac base station, you'll experience up to 3x faster wireless performance. Your Wi-Fi range improves as well.
USB 3. Every iMac comes with four USB 3 ports, with speeds up to 10 times as fast as USB 2. And the USB 3 ports are fully compatible with your USB 2 devices.
Bluetooth. Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology is built in, so you can use your favorite wireless accessories right out of the box.
Clarity you can see. And hear.
High-fidelity sound and a massive soundstage. Even though the iMac enclosure is just 5 mm at its edge, the Built-In Speakers deliver high-fidelity sound. So when you're listening to that new album, watching the latest flick, or playing your favorite action game, you'll get immersive sound and a surprisingly wide soundstage.
Dual microphones. Be heard loud and clear. iMac has two built-in microphones that work together to home in on your voice and filter out the sounds around you. That means more accuracy when you're using Dictation and better clarity during FaceTime video calls.
FaceTime HD camera for high-resolution video calls. Get everyone in the picture with the sharpest widescreen HD video ever. The built-in 720p FaceTime HD camera lets you make video calls that are so clear, it seems like everyone's in the same room. Make FaceTime calls from your iMac to any FaceTime-enabled Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Great built-in apps for productivity and creativity. And everything in between.
iMac comes loaded with apps so you can do more with your photos, videos, music, documents, spreadsheets, and presentations right from the start. You also get apps for sending email, managing your schedule, and automatically backing up your Mac. And they've all been updated to match the beautiful design of OS X Yosemite.
Everything you love on your iMac. On all your devices.
iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more from whatever device you're on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac, too.
Two ways to Multi-Touch.
Choose your perfect cord-free setup. Magic Mouse - which comes standard with iMac - lets you perform simple gestures across its smooth, seamless top shell. Or choose the Magic Trackpad, designed with a touch-friendly all-glass surface. It's the largest Multi-Touch trackpad made by Apple, so there's plenty of room for scrolling, swiping, pinching, rotating, and then some.
