Review: Arrived promptly - Still going strong Review: Its a 2017 21.5 inch iMac with Big Sur Pre-installed and 256 GB SSD - I've always wanted an iMac since 2010 and I finally pulled the trigger and received one in impeccable condition because it is brand spanking new! I had my doubts but I'm glad I took a risk. I do wish it was 4k or something more modern but I didn't want to get something used and I got to experience unwrapping it and seeing it in all its glory for myself. I can say I am extremely happy with this product. I noticed a significant improvement over my MacBook pro from 2012 which obviously but more in regards to the DAW protools which I use religiously and I noticed I was able to record in 32 samples vs the higher 512 samples and with more bit depth there's zero noise and everything looks sleek and modern as well as thin. I will upgrade this soon to the better 5k model and give this one to a family member but Its perfect nothing wrong with it the speed is great and this is not a gaming computer to me this represents a work computer for music, editing, blogging and more if you are looking for power and storage and a monster powerhouse then look elsewhere but if you are looking for something that will make you want to get up in the morning and do some inspirational work then this is the computer for you. ## Features - 21.5-inch (diagonal) 1920-by-1080 resolution display - Seventh-generation dual-core Intel Core i5 processor - Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 - Ultrafast SSD storage - Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Apple | | CPU Model | Core i5 | | CPU Speed | 2.3 GHz | | Graphics Card Description | Integrated | | Graphics Coprocessor | Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 256 GB | | Operating System | Mac OS | | Ram Memory Installed Size | 8 GB | | Screen Size | 21.5 Inches | | Specific Uses For Product | Business, Multimedia, Personal | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Apple - **CPU Model:** Core i5 - **CPU Speed:** 2.3 GHz - **Graphics Card Description:** Integrated - **Graphics Coprocessor:** Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 256 GB - **Operating System:** Mac OS - **Ram Memory Installed Size:** 8 GB - **Screen Size:** 21.5 Inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** Business, Multimedia, Personal ## Images ![Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81blwMhVV8L.jpg) ![Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jh5k4eZaL.jpg) ![Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yIspR18jL.jpg) ![Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cvjpBiONL.jpg) ![Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tcDO9OMtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i load info from my current apple without purchasing apple care? i have info stored on icloud and passport.** A: All Macs include a Migration Assistant application with which you can hook the computers together with a cable or connect together on same home Wi-Fi network and copy all applications and data from the old computer to the new one.

We've always had windows computers but will never go back. First let me say that the Apple is worth the extra $, hands down. It's way easier to use and very intuitive. Second, I was a little worried about buying a computer online and wondered if I would. be able to set it up. No problem. Delivery was quick and nothing was damaged. Set up was a snap. I really recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/219110237-apple-imac-21-5-inch-8gb-ram-256gb-ssd-storage](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/219110237-apple-imac-21-5-inch-8gb-ram-256gb-ssd-storage) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
