When purchasing a refurbished item, I don't expect the item to come in original packaging, with plastic over everything still.. But I do expect the company to protect the contents, as best they can... especially when it's an expensive electronic like this..The box had SOME styrofoam in it to protect the desktop, but the screen was completely breakable. If this box had fallen on it's side in the truck, it would have shattered. The computer was just placed into a box, with 4 corners of styrofoam to protect it. No screen protection whatsoever.The keyboard is fake. It's a cheap, easily breakable, not fully functional, keyboard. It is so ridiculously cheap, it squeaks when you touch it. The mouse is awful as well. If I order something refurbished, I personally expect ... MoreWhen purchasing a refurbished item, I don't expect the item to come in original packaging, with plastic over everything still..

The mouse is awful as well. If I order something refurbished, I personally expect all original items to be in the package, used or not. When I order a refurbished phone, I get the original charger, so why wouldn't I get the original keyboard?The unfortunate part, is that iMacs pretty much require an Apple Keyboard. There are specific buttons that Apple iMacs use, that a normal keyboard does not have. So the fake knockoff keyboard, did not have the necessary buttons to use my desktop.

Have been waiting a while to upgrade my previous iMac as I've not been able to take the software updates for a while. This doesn't disappoint except for the fact my previous was 1TB whereas this is only 512GB, must be a strategy to force us to take out the additional iCloud storage.Anyway, it's fast, and most of the items I had on my old machine I could transfer very easily except for my photos and my iTunes library which i had to manually transfer myself.The screen is clear. I previously had Microsoft office on my machine which I was unable to transfer my code, however this forced me to look at Apple Numbers which I am glad I did as it completely covers my needs, just a little bit of familiarisation with the added plus of being then able to easily access all of ... MoreHave been waiting a while to upgrade my previous iMac as I've not been able to take the software updates for a while.
