One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Compare with my old iMac 21.5 without retina. Obviously, compared to him, this iMac is heaven and earth.

This is the ideal computer for those who:

1. Works with graphics: designers, photographers. For complex 3D graphics, it is better to take a more powerful model;

2. Video editors, provided that you are not going to edit hour-long videos in 4K

3. Those who are forced to work a lot at the computer. Although if you do not need productive hardware and a large screen, it is better to look towards the 21.5-inch model.

In a combination of price-quality-hardware - Apple sells a computer for next to nothing, given that only the nearest 27-inch LG monitor in terms of image quality costs about 80 thousand .

After the purchase, immediately buy additional RAM, at least 2 more bars of 4 gigabytes each.

Pros

1. Screen. After it, everything that is not retina and not glossy will seem dull and blurry. 2. Screen again. True white. Only the Eskimos have whiter snow. 3. The third time the screen. Eyes do not get tired at all when working 10-12 hours a day 4. Productive iron. Photoshop opens in a couple of seconds, several simultaneously running "heavy" applications do not slow down the system 5. Absolutely silent, even under high loads. 6. Good sound and loud speakers, especially if you install the Boom application 7. Keyboard. The best on the market, even the first generation keyboard is significantly inferior 8. Rechargeable keyboard and mouse. No more warehouse stocks of batteries, especially for a mouse 9. Iron is enough even to play :)

Cons

1. Although the charge of the mouse is enough for several weeks of intensive work for 8-12 hours a day, nevertheless it needs to be charged. And with this problem. If the keyboard connector for lightning is on the end, which means it can be charged at the same time using it, then the mouse connector is at the bottom, so if it sits down at the most inopportune moment, you will either have to wait until it is slightly charged, or connect another one. 2. Markiness of the display. This is a feature not only of Apple computers, but also of any other computers and monitors with a glossy display. Stock up on quality microfiber cloths and a non-aggressive alcohol-free spray. 3. Small SSD drive. In models with a terabyte FD, there are only 24 gigs of SSD, although in fairness the HDD also works at the speed of old or cheap SSDs, so there are no particular problems with speed. 4. Ports on the back. A real pain, especially when you need to periodically connect or disconnect headphones. 5. Not deep black, although this is not a feature of a computer, but in principle IPS matrices
