Rating: 5/5 Great for Home DAW rig September 13, 2018 I am a professional sound engineer, audio producer and music composer. I needed a second Pro Tools rig to use in my home office for editing, composing and dealing with occasional client emergencies, when I can't get to my main studio location. For years I ran a small Pro Tools/MBox pro system off my Macbook Pro, but the laptop did not really have quite enough processing speed or memory to be effective. So I took a look at larger form computers with more processing power and ended up with an OWC reconditioned 2011 iMac. In addition to an internal 1TB HD, I had a 1 TB SSD added. It had a superdrive and a Firewire 800 port, both features I needed. It also looks very sleek and elegant in my editing room, with a large and very useful display. The iMac offers a very good bang for the buck ratio, especially reconditioned. My home editing system now purrs along contentedly with way more system resources available than previously. It is an absolute pleasure to work on my "little" system now!

I received it next day as promised in great condition, opening the packaging I was impressed with the product packaging itself and the overall condition of my IMac exceeded it's described condition. Once placed the IMac fired right up and so far running like a champ.

Rating: 5/5 Great value for the buck November 2, 2017 This 27" iMac was advertised as in good condition. I didn't find a scratch on the computer and would say the external condition was excellent.

I ordered a basic 8GB with 1TB HD machine with no keyboard or mouse. I added a 1TB SSD and four 4GB SIMMs. The whole upgrade took about an hour and then I ran a memory test for 24 hours.

With no OS on the SSD, I did an internet recover and installed High Sierra. BIG MISTAKE! Apple says a mid 2011 (12,2) will run High Sierra, my USB keyboard stopped working. After a day of trying to get it working, with no luck, I gave up. I installed Sierra and everything works perfectly!

The Apple developer and user forums have all kinds of issues with High Sierra and USB keyboards.

So, for half the cash of a new iMac, I have machine with an i5 quad core processor, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. All Software that was running on my 2009 iMac running El Capitan now runs faster on the new machine under Sierra. MS Office 2008 also runs!

Rating: 5/5 Very Happy April 18, 2017 I am pleased with my 27" iMac. The screen is great, it is working like a charm, and is pretty much just what I wanted. It worked beautifully out of the box. However, I had trouble with the Time Machine backup from my old machine, and it locked everything up. Tech support was awesome. The tech who helped me knew his stuff, and we had the problem solved quickly. I have been getting memory from OWC since my Apple SE 30, approximately a million years ago. I have always been pleased with their product, prices, and service.

Rating: 5/5 Very Good Value September 20, 2016 I purchased this iMac for my grown daughter to replace an old PPC iMac. It's much faster and has a larger, better display than the old computer. Although this machine is several years old, it has lots of useful life for most computing applications and will serve her well. I used an extra keyboard and mouse to complete her system. It looks brand new and runs smoothly and quietly. The 2TB drive is much larger and faster than her old machine. OWC shipped the iMac quickly in a well-protected carton. I'll be upgrading the OS soon to a more recent version. OWC has been my number one source for all my Mac upgrades (four computers, three active). Good products, service and support!

Rating: 5/5 My Precious! October 6, 2015 My friends at Other World Computing had me hooked on the iMac 12,2 because it was a perfect upgrade from my MacBook Pro 3,1. The guys and gals at OWC provided superb details when I replaced the hard drive in the MBP and I had no hesitation with the purchase of the iMac 12,2.

Yes, I need the DVD/CD burner and the SD/SDXC card slot at the side keeps me happy. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. The night I ordered the iMac was past the same day delivery time period and when tomorrow came I had the email saying my order had shipped. Good — that it had shipped — cause I could have questioned my hard drive (add an SSD drive) and memory choice (longing to max it out). FedEx handled the industrial grade box with care and delivered in the morning of the anticipated day, yet my setup had to wait for more pressing home demands.

Once I had the time, out of the box and onto my desk. The ample wrapping around the unit had me guessing where to start, while a few careful cuts later exposed a most remarkable computer. I had only one extra purchase required and that was a DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter to connect my 20-inch Cinema Display (worked perfectly).

With power and network connected I found the start button and powered up. It may seem minor, yet I had to put the dock and desktop to my favorites, and then, from the Apple App Store brought in Yosemite. Looking back I should have prepared myself for the direct Migration from the MacBook Pro to the iMac, but hey, all roads lead somewhere, even if they take you in a roundabout.

Oh, the El Capitan OS X 10.11 update went in with ease and with all this real estate from the 27 inch screen, I’ll be using Mission Control and relegating my Cinema Display to my MBP.

Okay, you ask, “Any problems with the iMac?” No, none whatsoever! I think OWC was being very conservative with a, “Very Good” label. I rate this iMac 12,2 as EXCELLENT!
