For reference, my purchase is for mid-2017 4K i5 3.0Ghz 8Gb RAM model, at $409 US)Like many other reviewers, when purchasing 'Renewed', 'Refurbished', 'Restored' (insert your favorite term here), I did a lot of research on this and still entered the purchase with a degree of skepticism. After all, how can something previously used or abused arrive in pristine condition? Well, this skeptic is convinced. The iMac arrived well packaged, with power cord & peripherals as promised and looks absolutely stunning. It's like I bought a new product!! Screen is clean, sharp. No dings, dents or ANYTHING to indicate this is other than new. WOW!To address some of the comments I've read that resulted in reduced stars:1. The seller text is very specific.

Is this a stopper? Absolutely not. Connect an external SSD, and either set that as the Startup Disk or press Option key on boot and select the external SSD to boot from. (I've read you need to ensure the drive is formatted as GUID). My plans is to get a Thunderbolt enclosure and a NVMe Pcie from Intel, 1Tb. Currently $45 & $87 US, respectively. Very cheap upgrade to go from 1 min 40 sec (approx) to 10-15 second boot time and improved zip with app launch and drive access times.As I read in many reviews, the display is crisp, bright and gorgeous. No eye strain. I'm running at 50% brightness. Detail is incredible!Initial attempts to connect an Apple wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard and trackpad, both gen 1, failed. Realized I had to shut them down like a PC -- hold power button for 10-15 seconds, then power on with a quick press. After that, no issues connecting. Wireless works great - all bars. Of course, distance from AP will dictate signal strength and internet response speed.3. Many of the negative reviews are not about the operation or condition of the product, but focus primarily on 1 of 3 things - shipping damage or delivery, missing components or boot/operational issues.Taking these one at a time:- Shipping damage is beyond the control of the seller. Working with the shipper should resolve the complaint.- Missing components. Contact the seller. From what I've read, when this occurs, the seller is good to their word and supplies the missing items- Boot to black, boot issues in general, operational issues. Yes, it should reliably boot up. But before screaming too loudly, either reformat/reinstall the OS yourself or ask a techie friend to do this for you. I'm guessing that at least 8 times out of 10, this will fix the issue (from my experience with computers over 20+ years).Honestly, I don't think you can find a better deal for a quality iMac running 7th gen Intel i5 at 3.0Ghz, with discrete graphics. I am a light gamer and have yet to test this device thoroughly, but from lots of online reviews, I expect to be able to get between 25 to 60 fps when I don't push beyond medium graphics settings. Without huge graphics horsepower, ultra graphics settings are out. Apple does not advertise this as a Gamers computer.The only complaint I have is that I bought it for $409, and the next day, the 1 remaining device was advertised for $379. Today, I see 5 (?) devices available, and the price is $369. But in the overall scheme of things, even the price I paid is a great deal.So really, no complaints. One of the best deals I've made. I hope this review helps you make a decision.Good luck with your purchase!!

- Boot to black, boot issues in general, operational issues. Yes, it should reliably boot up. But before screaming too loudly, either reformat/reinstall the OS yourself or ask a techie friend to do this for you. I'm guessing that at least 8 times out of 10, this will fix the issue (from my experience with computers over 20+ years).

Honestly, I don't think you can find a better deal for a quality iMac running 7th gen Intel i5 at 3.0Ghz, with discrete graphics. I am a light gamer and have yet to test this device thoroughly, but from lots of online reviews, I expect to be able to get between 25 to 60 fps when I don't push beyond medium graphics settings. Without huge graphics horsepower, ultra graphics settings are out. Apple does not advertise this as a Gamers computer.

The only complaint I have is that I bought it for $409, and the next day, the 1 remaining device was advertised for $379. Today, I see 5 (?) devices available, and the price is $369. But in the overall scheme of things, even the price I paid is a great deal.

So really, no complaints. One of the best deals I've made. I hope this review helps you make a decision.

Good luck with your purchase!!

Well I could not be happier with this computer. I just wanted an updated computer because my other desktop was a pc and old. There is not a single mark on this computer. It looks shiny and new and beautiful. It works great. It is fast. The graphics are unbelievable. I look at "pictures of the week on my CNN newsletter. The difference between this computer and my ipad, iphone, hp pc and laptop are phenomenal. The quality of the pictures is breathtaking. I love the size of the screen. I could not justify the cost of a new desktop. I'm extremely glad I got this one renewed. My brother and my son both put in new hard drives in their old computers. They paid more for their hard drives than I paid for a whole new computer, keyboard and mouse. I like the computer very much. It is perfect.

I received it about 8-10 days ago and just unpacked it and started the process of getting it up and running and ready. Boot time is so long, I could start and probably finish shaving by the time it completes the process. No joke. It has failed the system update a few times, but I'll give it another try or two.
If it starts to function properly, I will likely upgrade it. Perhaps and external SSD boot drive and RAM. So far, I am wishing I bought something better. I am a Mac guy, but this model is not making me smile at all, aside from the screens quality. I will update as time goes by.

Well, It's been doing and redoing the update. Growing old waiting. Oh I have a 500 meg connection incase you are wondering. Hours and hours trying to update. SELLER, are you reading this?

Update: It’s not happy about transferring the files from my old iMac. So time consuming to get this process working on this new machine I have no Smiles left for this product.

Total downer. I gave up on it some time ago. My almost 12 year old iMac runs better and is more reliable. Do yourself a favor and take a pass on this one.

I ordered this iMac on Amazon to replace the iMac my parents were using. Their iMac's backlight went on it and since it was a 2012, wasn't going to be worth fixing. My Dad ended up passing away unexpectedly a few days before the computer issue, so the replacement would be used mostly by my Mom for email, occasional FaceTime and by my wife and me when we visited. So we didn't need anything too fancy for her. I thought a refurbished model might be a good way to go. I ordered the computer on a Monday. Expected delivery was to be the following Monday or Tuesday, but ended up receiving it already on Thursday. iMac was in good condition and booted up within 10-12 seconds. Had no issues with upgrading the software to the lates Mac OS, and then migrating all the files/folders etc... from the old iMac via Time Machine backup I had done on an external drive. Computer seems to be very fast and responsive and so far have no issues with it. The only problem I encountered was, after getting it all set up, I realized the hard drive was only 256GB, not the 1TB that was advertised. The RAM was actually 16GB instead of the 8GB RAM that was advertised, so that was a nice and unexpected bonus. I wasn't too concerned about the lesser hard drive space, as my Mom is not going to need it, but I contacted the seller anyway to find out what happened and see if they could give me a partial refund since I didn't get the iMac that was advertised. They were quick in responding to my concern and apologized. After sending them a couple screen shots showing them the hard drive space and serial number, they looked into it and again apologized for the computer not matching the advertised specs. They offered to refund me $75, which I thought was fair and agreed to it. The keyboard was a smaller, corded mac keyboard which was just fine, and the mouse that was included was a generic cordless mouse. I kept that as a spare one, and have my Mom use the corded mouse that they were using previously. All in all, a good purchase and am happy so far with the computer I got for my Mom.

J’ai pioché deux soirées pour avoir l’assistant de transfert et je ne peux toujours pas d’y accéder, malgré le visionnement des YouTube’s pour le transfert de PC vers mon IMac! Donc je ne peux pas évaluer cet achat adéquatement! Désolée!

El exterior de la computadora estaba en muy buena condiciones, estética de 9, como describe el vendedor manda teclado genérico, mouse genérico y el disco duro es si de 1T pero es HDD
Use la computadora por algunos días, parecía funcionar bien, pero repentinamente comenzó a fallar, se trababa, la pantalla se ponía en negro, con un folder y un link
Intente restaurarla y reinstalar el software como 3 veces y seguía fallando, contacte a servicio al cliente de Amazon y me dijeron que la única solución era devolver el producto. Honestamente no lo hice ya que la estética de la computadora estaba bastante.
¿Como arregle el problema?
Tuve que cambiar el disco duro por uno de estado sólido (SSD) que me costo 300 dólares más. Los técnicos que hicieron el cambio revisaron todo el hardware y reportaron en buena condición. Ya funciona al 100

Así que TODOS tengan muy en cuenta que un HDD funciona por 5 años, 6 máximo después si o si comenzará a fallar y lo tendrán que remplazar por uno de estado sólido.

Honestamente me molesto muchísimo tener que cambiar el disco duro pero por el precio la verdad que podría esperar? Es comprensible además es un iMac
Para cosas ordinarias que no sean de diseño este modelo 2017 con su nuevo disco de estado sólido me funciona Perfecto

Pero si la van a utilizar para cosas de diseño, Photoshop, creación de Renders etc consideren que tendrán que invertir en la memoria RAM Y SSD.

Esta fue mi experiencia no fue mala no fue buena es una computadora increíble honestamente pero es importante saber los detalles sobre el disco duro.
