Operating System Overview
This iMac runs macOS High Sierra, Apple's refined desktop operating system known for its stability, elegant user interface, and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem. The operating system delivers smooth performance for everyday tasks with excellent security features and intuitive operation. Whilst macOS High Sierra provides a reliable and user-friendly experience, it's worth noting that as an older operating system, it no longer receives the latest security updates from Apple and may have limited compatibility with some newer applications. However, it remains perfectly suitable for standard computing tasks, office productivity, web browsing, and media consumption.
Cosmetic Grading
Excellent Grade: Devices show very light previous use with minimal signs of wear. The screen is free from scratches, cracks, or dead pixels. Minor scuffing or light abrasions may be present on the aluminium casing, with light wear on the base from standard use.
Good Grade: Devices exhibit more visible signs of use including light scratches, small dings, or minor marks on the aluminium enclosure. The screen may display subtle blemishes or uneven light diffusion but remains free from cracks or dead pixels. All cosmetic wear is purely aesthetic and does not affect functionality.
