About this imac
About macOS on this Mac
This Mac ships with macOS Ventura (13) installed and ready to use. Ventura runs all the everyday software you'd expect — current Microsoft Office for Mac (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Spotify, and the Mac App Store.
A note about how Ventura is installed: Apple stopped issuing new macOS releases for this model. We've installed Ventura using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP), a respected community tool that lets older Macs run modern macOS. The Mac boots, performs and behaves like any other Ventura installation.
Important — please do not attempt to update macOS. Apple does not ship Ventura updates to this model, so the System Settings → Software Update dialog won't work as expected. Updates require re-running OpenCore, which we're happy to handle for you. Trying to update through Software Update may fail or leave the system in an inconsistent state.
One small thing to expect: very occasionally an Apple service such as iCloud, FaceTime, or Messages may ask you to re-authenticate. This is normal for OCLP-installed Macs and signing in again resolves it.

The refurbished Apple iMac 21.5" (2013) combines the iconic all-in-one design Apple is known for with practical performance for everyday computing. Powered by a 4th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and available in configurations from 8GB to 16GB of RAM, this model is ideal for families, students, and home offices looking for a reliable desktop without the clutter of separate towers and monitors. The 21.5-inch LED-backlit display delivers crisp visuals for everything from web browsing and video streaming to document editing and photo management. As a refurbished unit, each iMac has been tested and graded to ensure it meets our quality standards, giving you dependable performance at a fraction of the original cost.
Under the hood, you'll find either an Intel Core i5-4570R or i5-4570S processor, both quad-core chips from Intel's Haswell generation that balance efficiency with capable multi-tasking. Choose from 8GB or 16GB of RAM depending on your workload — 8GB handles day-to-day tasks comfortably, while 16GB provides extra headroom for running multiple applications simultaneously. Storage ranges from a 256GB SSD for essential files and applications up to a 1TB SSD for larger libraries of photos, documents, and media. The solid-state drives deliver faster boot times and snappier application launches compared to traditional hard drives. Available in Silver, this iMac suits any workspace aesthetic, and with our Grade A and Grade C options, you can balance cosmetic condition against budget. Whether you're setting up a home study, equipping a small business, or simply need a space-saving desktop for daily use, the 2013 iMac 21.5" offers a straightforward, capable computing experience.
Choose Your Configuration
We stock multiple configurations to suit different needs and budgets. Processor options include the Intel Core i5-4570R and i5-4570S — both deliver quad-core performance for general productivity. RAM choices span 8GB and 16GB, with the latter better suited to heavier multi-tasking or running virtualisation. Storage options extend from 256GB SSD — ample for essential software and documents — to 1TB SSD, giving you plenty of room for media collections and larger project files. Cosmetic grading ranges from Grade A (minimal signs of use, excellent overall condition) to Grade C (visible wear but fully functional). Use the configuration selector on this page to find the exact combination that fits your requirements.
What to Expect from a Refurbished iMac
Every unit has been tested to confirm all core functions operate correctly. The display, ports, and internal components have been verified, and the machine ships ready to use. Cosmetic condition varies by grade: Grade A units show minimal signs of previous use, while Grade C units may exhibit more noticeable marks or scratches but remain fully operational. All units are backed by our 12-month warranty and 30-day returns policy, so you can buy with confidence. Refurbished electronics extend the lifespan of quality hardware, reducing electronic waste and offering you a cost-effective route to trusted Apple design and engineering.
