Mid 2017 Apple iMac with 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 (21.5 inch, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) Silver (Renewed)

Christmas present for our son

Painfully slow. Actually slower to up load that the computer I replaced!That was a bad move

I’m all for recycling. But it should have been some kind of warning when this bundle arrived packed in layer after layer of “returned from” forms. So far, I have found FIVE previous owners addresses. How cheap is this company that they don’t even peel off the layers of “returned from” stickers?.Anyway, i didn't think that a 2017 iMac could have BigSurOS installed (as was advertised), but i am no expert. Which is exactly why i asked, just to double-check. And i was specifically told that, yes, i would get an iMac with BigSurOS installed..But i did not. It came with the two years older MojaveOS installed..They lied in the listing, and they lied to me, because they knew that they could charge much more for the same machine with an OS that will still continue to get security updates from Apple long after Mojaves support has officially ended (if it hasn't already)..Add to that the Ethernet port on the one i got only works every now and then. And no matter if I use a cable or WiFi I have measured the internet speed on this machine at just 32 bytes per second. Not megabytes, not kilobytes, but 32 bytes per second. The web was faster than this 40 damn years ago!.The included mouse would be painfully small even in a babies hands. And the keyboard they sent is very specifically a Windows keyboard!.I would rather source my own mouse and keyboard, and they drop the price by however much they are charging for these because, apart from what i have already mentioned, they are just of the lowest quality possible. Even those of us buying second hand want better for our macs than this junk..One of the very first things that the set up process asks us to do is to transfer data from our old mac. I transferred roughly 500GB of via an Ethernet cable. This was the only time the Ethernet port worked well. But it was only after i had done this transfer that i realised which OS i was in..Once i had said that i wanted a refund i tried to wipe my data from this device ready to send it back. And if you have ever tried to wipe a one terabyte hard drive with the maximum security settings (7 passes), then you know it is not instantaneous. I thought i must have done something wrong, or missed something. So i went through the process multiple times. And every time it said it was done instantaneously. There’s not a computer on Earth that can wipe hundreds of GB from a spinning drive in the blink of an eye. Even a completely empty drive of this size takes time to check. And it often takes hours, sometimes days to wipe securely on a Mac like this..So i do not believe my data is being wiped even if it says it has been. And i do not trust this company now. So what do i do? Do i keep a machine that i really can't afford (because i have no use for this device // system)? Or do i chance returning it to a company that i do not trust, and for all i know could even be harvesting peoples data this way?.Later….Since originally posting this negative review I see that the seller has dropped the asking price from the £364 that they charged me just a couple of weeks ago. And yet they still have NOT changed the description from what it was, to what they are actually sending out. That should tell you everything..

21.5" iMac arrived with two very large and visible blemishes behind the screen. Took an age to boot up, and was so slow it paused before every action, no matter how small. A very tired and worn out computer, certainly not renewed and 'excellent' as described, and much slower than the computer I was replacing. The final straw was that I had to take it to a parcel-shop by car (it's a very large and heavy box) as the seller and Amazon did not give pick-up as an option and would not budge on that! I would never buy 'renewed' from Amazon again; it seems to me there is absolutely no quality assurance from Amazon of their sellers, even though they guarantee the products. I would avoid them at all costs. Thankfully, the refund was quick!
