Bought it for home. I can't use mac's at work, software isn't up to the task and that tiny mouse and keyboard aren't usable on a daily basis.

so why? well I got fed up with my 2yr old laptop taking forever to start and get a gopro video imported for editing and that was the last straw. I want a machine to manage media (pics, videos, music) in a way that i'll actually get to enjoy it from time to time. Thus far I've only spent about 3 hours on it but the big 27" screen makes it great for looking through photos and videos.

not terribly impressed with the price not including an SSD drive. not sure the mouse was designed for adult sized hands. certain the keyboards are designed using the 10yr old forced labor that probably builds these things.

but by golly it is cool looking! I also bought a 2TB backup drive as I've read there is an auto backup program in there somewhere (time machine I think) and I like the idea of it.

hoping to find some good math and science apps to keep kids sharp during summer vacation as well.

time will tell if it was a good purchase; at this point i'm intrigued and looking forward to finding some order and efficiency in our digital house.
