Great Product
Overall the product was in great condition. It looks brand new and works up to my expectations. I had my own Magic Mouse which was fairly new and I purchased a brand new keyboard. The item does come with keyboard and mouse (not apple) . I feel like the price was worth it by paying half the price. The only challenge which isn’t the fault of the seller was shipping through FedEx. It was almost a week after the expected delivery date. My product sat in the warehouse for three to four days before they decided if they were going to deliver it or not. I reached out to the seller and asked them to have it held. I finally got my computer and it has so far worked great!

Too slow to be of any use
As far as the physical condition, the iMac was very good. It was rated “excellent” but there are marks and dents (mostly on the rear and not visible) that, in my mind, do not merit an “excellent” rating.As far as performance, however – while I did not expect a 5-year old computer with an 8th generation i3 intel chip to be a speed demon, I did expect that I could surf the internet and check email. This machine is so slow, that I can only assume it’s defective. My 2017 MacBook – which is 2 years older, has a broken screen, a ridiculously small HD, and a dead battery – runs circles around this thing.After a 10-minute boot time, I find that I cannot even load a webpage. Simply trying to open Safari is an act of utter aggravation. And you can forget about doing anything beyond that. You thought you were going to load an app? Forget about it. Microsoft Office? Ha! Load a PDF? You must be joking. For fun, or because I’m a masochist, I thought I’d try to upgrade it to Sonoma. If a computer can simply die of a broken spirit, then that’s what this machine did.Do yourself a favor and save your $400 for a better system.

Really happy with my purchase, with a single small complaint
This was a good purchase. It arrived with Mac OS 12, which seemed to run a bit sluggish. I got on some online Mac groups, and read that this particular 2019 model, with a hard drive, had come with OS 10.13, and would run OS 12 or 13 slowly. I was tempted to downgrade the OS back to 10.13, but then a friend recommended I ditch the HD and have it replaced with a solid state drive. I did, for the price of $220 at a local shop, and it was money well spent. It runs like a racecar now, and I’m really happy with it.It arrived in excellent condition, and seemed like a new computer. Other than the OS issue, I’m very pleased. There’s a reason the price of these 2019 models is hundreds cheaper than the later 2021 models, and it’s the difference between a hard drive and a solid state drive. Had I known more, I think I would have spent a several hundred more for a 2021 solid state drive iMac, but live and learn. In any case, I have about $630 invested in this now, and it runs like a dream, with very fast load and run times. If speed is important, go with the 2021 models, or spend a little extra and convert one of these 2019 models into a speed demon with a fairly inexpensive upgrade.

Decent
The computer was decent, the keyboard and mouse does not work well with the Mac. I had to buy my own to use the computer. The OS makes the computer very slow. I had to wipe it clean and install a previous version. It took me a few hours to get it decently run.

A pleasant surprise
I’ve been using an identical Mac for nearly 4 years, and like it a lot. When I noticed that I could get an otherwise identical refurbished Mac for about 1/3 the cost, I thought that it would be worth the cost even if it was terrible. As it happens it works as if it was brand new.There are a few issues, which I will enumerate below, but don’t let that get you down: this product is worth every penny that you pay — which happens to be much less than what a new unit would cost.(*) the mouse and keyboard are not Apple devices. In particular, the keyboard is intended for Windows. It works for a Mac, but there are things such as the audio volume which work differently.(*) the installed OS is out of date. It took several days to bring it up to speed. This is not a problem, but it’s just a reminder that you’re going to have to do some work to breath life into this.(*) In addition to the OS, there is other software that you’re going to have to install. As it happens, I do software development, so Xcode and a variety of Python things had to be installed … and of course the installers for that software had to be installed, too.Okay, after griping a little bit, here’s the important question: “Would I buy the same refurbished iMac again, for the same price?” Absolutely I would, and I probably will.And if you’re new to Macs and want a perfectly good first iMac desktop *and* are willing to do a little work to bring it up to current OS and other software installs, you would be hard pressed to do better than this.

Slow and laggy
This computer is super slow. I bought it to possibly work from home while I finish college. It runs super slow, crashes alot and doesn’t respond quick to commands. I’m returning it ASAP.

Well packed, looked good to the eye and worked right away – even if it was very slow.Instructions to help with the setting up would have been an advantage.The five minute wait for it to be ready to use, even when going it was awefully slow.Not being technically minded I took it to my local repair shop and asked for advice in setting up some things I was having difficulty with.The report came back that the refurbishment was not to a high standard, the 1TB drive was so damaged it would need repairing, very much as if all that had been done was wipe the discs and re program – without giving the machine a trial run first as the condition would have been apparant.I gave permission for the repairs to go ahead. It now is working as it should have, speedy and smooth.Buyer beware, if a machne is opened it voids the warranty. If a damaged machine is repaired by anyone but the seller it voids the warranty. Even if this is inconvienient its better to give in and return to sender and hope for a speedy resolution to the problemWhat started out as a kindeness of mine by not returning the machne right away has landed me with the repair bill, the seller is refuses quoting the warranty.
