With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 2TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.

It's an Apple product so...
on July 25, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
You know what you are getting when you buy an Apple product. I purposely bought the 2TB hard drive because it came with a much larger portion of flash than the 1TB. I believe it was 128GB of flash with the 2TB and only 24GB of flash with the 1TB. Performs amazingly well. I had my last iMac for 8 years and it wasn't even one of the higher end ones. Plus I only got rid of it to upgrade to this one (and I got $174 in trade in value through Best Buy). If you have the money I strongly believe, at least from my experiences, that Apple products are great investments. The higher up front costs are recouped through the long life of the products.

Great for quick and easy meals!
on July 14, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was hesitant about purchasing this grill, especially after reading some reviews about how the "optimum mode" (aka the whole reason you purchase the thing) would eventually stop working and you would only be able to use "manual mode." Well the first few times I used it, the machine worked just as intended. It cooked both frozen food as well as defrosted meats perfectly and in quick time. Then I was cooking one night and I wasn't hearing the beep to alert me that the grill was ready to cook only to recognize that it was in "manual mode." So I lifted the lid and put it back down, set the parameters and once again it flipped back to "manual mode." It was then that I realized that the lid and base, which are detachable for cleaning, didn't seem to be perfectly seated. So I adjusted and tried again. After that no issues. For those curious, the review I read about the optimum mode not working the reviewer stated that they called T-Fal and they walked them through the steps to re-calibrate. Simple lesson is most things are fixable if given a little time and effort.

Comfortable and Safe Strap!
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a new strap aside from the generic one that came with my camera. I am not a camera enthusiast, though I thought if I was going to carry a camera all day on vacations I wanted to be comfortable and for my camera to be safe. Well this covered both of those areas. The adjustable strap makes it feel as those the camera isn't even there and allows for over the neck or shoulder carrying. It is "sticky" on one side to keep it in place if you desire (if not just flip it over). The attach points are strong and I was pleasantly surprised by the "quick change" ability for other cameras. You could essentially have these attach point on all your devices and switch them out quickly if necessary. Not to mention the strong attach points means your camera isn't going anywhere, such as breaking and dropping to the ground (as I have heard has happened with some straps). I would recommend this product to both beginner and veteran camera enthusiasts.

Prior Purchase Skeptic
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was skeptical of buying this case before buying it. It seemed like it was too big and bulky (all I had prior was the sport band). That it would look weird on my wrist (my forearms are not that big), and that the white one would get dirty and I would not be able to clean it. Well I can say that I was wrong. It is bigger than the sport band (obviously), but not too big. I would say just big enough for people to ask me "is that one of those smart watches?" It actually looks nice on my wrist and anything that gets on the case can simply be wiped away (I did get the white one). All in all a quality case that seems to protect my watch very well. I also would like to mention that I have not had any issues with the crown dial. It all works very well.

Simply perfect if you have an Apple Watch
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use it on my nightstand. It charges both my IPhone and Apple Watch while keeping all the cords neatly stowed away under the stand. One of the best solutions I found for cord management seeing as the IPhone cord isn't long enough (and always fell to the floor) and the Apple Watch cord seems like it is 100ft. long (and I would trip over it). Highly recommend for those looking for a good looking solution to a cord problem. No more "cord searching" before bed!

Never cleaned with steam before
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have never cleaned with steam before. This is a very versatile tool and comes with some nifty attachments. I have used it to mop my kitchen floor and used it a few times on the walls of my shower. It works great as a mop on the floor. The bathroom was hit and miss as far as clean goes, but if nothing else it loosened up some grime to be easily wiped away. I believe over time though it will get better as the first time it was pretty dirty. All in all a great and interesting product that I would recommend even for just the mop feature!

Great little tool

Verified Purchase:Yes
Really enjoying this grooming tool. Powerful and lightweight. Added bonus that it can be used while plugged in. You don't normally get that option from other similar tools. It comes with multiple trimming options and nose trimmer. I am bald, so I bought it mainly for a beard trimmer and nose hair trimmer. I use it every couple of days and it works extremely well!

Awesome Briefcase

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this briefcase. It has good size to fit a laptop as well as books or notepads as needed. Has three interior pockets which I use for holding my laptop power cord, my reserve power bank, and my plethora of pens, pencils, and highlighters. Also has an outside pocket right under the flap and another zippered pocket inside as well as another zippered pocket next to the main opening. I use it mainly for school and it works out very well. I will say that I got it price matched as it was being sold for less elsewhere, but the price match is why I love Best Buy!

Super fast
on May 15, 2016
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
Well first off, it's a MacBook and in that regard exactly what one would expect from a MacBook. It is a high quality machine that is thin and lightweight (not important factors to me, but hey that's cool). What I will point out is how fast the flash storage is. This thing just zooms through every process with ease. Wake from sleep is darn near instantaneous and opening and closing programs is quicker than I think I have ever experienced. On that note I would recommend at least the 256GB version for the shear fact of resale value. Of course I have external hard drives where I keep most of my files so I guess if you plan on doing that the 128GB version may work for you, but in my opinion kills resale value. Either way go out and buy one of these! Best Buy constantly runs sales so when you see one pick one up!

I bought this when I bought my Conair Sonic Facial Brush since each was on sale. It will work as a suitable replacement when the brush that came with the Facial Brush wears out.

Take control of dynamic visual aids with this Logitech Spotlight presentation remote. Its intuitive three-button interface is ideal for pointing and navigating, and it provides versatile programmable functions via the Logitech Presentation app. This Logitech Spotlight presentation remote has a wireless range up to 100 ft. with Bluetooth Smart connectivity and USB receiver compatibility.
 

Can I use this devise with more than one computer without having to download software to each computer? I just purchased one and downloaded the software to my home computer. However, this is not the computer that I will be using to do the presentation.

In order to use the "Spotlight" and related features you must download the software to each computer you intend to use it on. Otherwise you just get forward and backward during presentations. It is unfortunate as most corporate computers will not allow you to download the software where you need it. Creates quite a hassle. I ended up returning mine and purchasing the Logitech R800 with green laser pointer.

I cannot install the sw on my corparate laptop. What functions does the device have without the SW? How does the pointer look like? I would like to use it in presentations which are also shown via Skype

I bought this as well and ended up returning it because of this issue. If you cannot install the software (which most corporations will not allow you to do at work) then you lose all the special functionalities of the remote (what you essentially paid all that money for). It essentially becomes a very expensive remote to move backwards and forwards throughout a presentation. The software is amazing when you are able to install it, but alas most are unable to in their work environments. I personally returned it and bought the Logitech R800 that has a green laser pointer. A lot cheaper and no software hassles.

Enjoy delicious coffee, tea or hot cocoa any time you want with this coffeemaker. The 2.4" color touch display makes seeing and changing settings simple, and a 70-oz. water reservoir means you'll be refilling less often.
 

what is the size height & width?

It's about 13.5" tall and seems to be just under 11" wide
