Mac OS X and a gorgeous screen.

Mac are known for quality graphics and this Retina iMac is no exception. Windows all in one computers, even with 4K screens, don't look as nice and don't run as smoothly as a Mac. This model doesn't have as fast a hard drive as serious video editing requires, but for home use it is fine. Upgrade to a Fusion drive or flash storage for that work.

Good warranty, known, decent quality control and solid performance at a price only slightly above average. Always save the receipt if you care about the warranty. No receipt, no warranty.

I am not a fan of subscription software, but software developers want a predictable flow of income. If you need Office for more than 2 years, buy a permanent license. Get the subscription if you need the software for a shorter period of time or if you need the latest versions or also want the tablet/phone versions.

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

Last redesigned in 2012, this is the last Mac that still has a DVD drive and a FireWire port and upgradable ram and hard drive. Buy it for your needs today but know that it can grow with your changing requirements.

My first Samsung SSD is 4 years old and still performing well. I love it when they go on sale and the price difference between the cheapest and these is less than 15%. I gladly pay that difference for peace of mind.

3 tb is a good size to store lots of video and music and photos on, but for important stuff, I buy a second one and do 2 identical backups. At 3 years, I get nervous about reliability, but there are very few moderately priced desktop drives I trust more.

Nice, compact drive for backups.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had average luck with these drives. The warranty is only useful to cover hardware replacement (not data) and requires you to have proof of purchase. I use these as Time Machine Backup drives for Macs. For Macs, make sure you get one with at least 3 times the capacity as you are actually expect to use on the computer. Remember, all drives fail sooner or later. Start backing up now and figure on replacing the backup drive before it fails (3~5 years on average).

Good Value

SSD upgrades are the single most noticeable speed improvement you can do to your computer. Prices have fallen so do it now! The only thing you will ever regret will be if you get one that is too small and you outgrow it.
As with all upgrade components, save the receipt and box in case there is an initial problem or for the warranty (which is typically 3~5 years).

Super Easy to Configure

Apple wireless routers are very easy to configure but amazingly so for Mac or iPad users. This Airport Extreme Base Station was among the first to support the 802.11ac high speed standard and has 2 simultaneous transceivers so as to have one set up as high speed only and one backwards compatible with slower devices.

All the external portable 1tb drives fall in the $59~79 range. WD seems to have the best warranty at 3 years. Save your receipt!

Will this work on a Chromebook OS?

I have a Chromebook 2, and am looking for something for extra storage, so curious if this storage device will work with the Chromebook OS?
Yes but local storage is not the strongpoint of Chromebooks.
