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 27-inch (2015) delivers the iconic all-in-one desktop experience that made the iMac a staple in creative studios, home offices and family living rooms alike. With its stunning 5K Retina display and choice of Intel i5 or i7 processors, this 2015 model remains a capable machine for everyday productivity, media consumption, photo editing and light creative work. Available in a range of configurations—from 8GB to 32GB RAM and storage options including 1TB HDD, 512GB SSD or 500GB Fusion Drive—you can select the specification that fits your workflow and budget. Every unit has been professionally refurbished, tested and graded, and is backed by our 12-month warranty.

At the heart of each iMac is either an Intel i5-6500 or Intel i7-4790K processor, paired with 8GB or 32GB of RAM depending on the configuration you choose. Storage varies across our current stock: a spacious 1TB hard drive for large media libraries, a fast 512GB SSD for snappy application launches, or a 500GB Fusion Drive that blends SSD speed with HDD capacity. The 27-inch 5K Retina display remains one of the iMac's standout features, offering crisp, vibrant visuals ideal for photo editing, video playback and general desktop use. Whether you're a home user seeking a reliable family computer, a small-business owner outfitting an office, or a creative professional after an affordable secondary workstation, the 2015 iMac strikes a practical balance between performance and design. All units are graded for cosmetic condition—Grade A for near-pristine appearance, Grade C for devices with visible wear—and every configuration is tested to ensure it meets our standards before dispatch.

Choose Your Configuration

We currently stock five variants of the 27-inch iMac (2015), with prices ranging from free evaluation units to £390 depending on processor, RAM, storage and cosmetic grade. Our entry-level configurations feature the Intel i5-6500 with 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD, ideal for web browsing, office applications and media streaming. Step up to 32GB RAM and a 512GB SSD for faster multitasking and application responsiveness, or opt for the 500GB Fusion Drive to balance speed and capacity. The Intel i7-4790K variant with 32GB RAM offers additional headroom for users running virtual machines, batch processing or memory-intensive creative software. Colour options include Silver, and cosmetic grades span Grade A (minimal signs of use) to Grade C (noticeable wear but fully functional). Use the configuration selector on this page to explore the available combinations and find the iMac that suits your needs.

Refurbished, Tested and Ready to Use

Every iMac listed here has been professionally refurbished and graded to ensure it arrives in full working order. Each unit is tested across core functions—display, ports, power, operating system—and graded for cosmetic condition so you know exactly what to expect. Grade A units show minimal cosmetic wear and are suitable for users who prioritise appearance; Grade C units carry more visible signs of previous use—scratches, scuffs or dents—but deliver the same functional performance at a lower price point. All configurations ship with macOS installed and a 12-month warranty, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to return within 30 days if the iMac isn't the right fit. Choosing refurbished also extends the working life of quality hardware, reducing electronic waste and the environmental footprint of manufacturing new devices.
