    iMac Transfer to New Machine

    The Geek Squad (Dylan, Porter and Kyle) of the Lawrence Best Buy Transferred our data from our old iMac to our new one. We had received a wonderful deal on the purchase of this new iMac because it uses the M1 chip vice the new M3. We saved $650.00 off the purchase price, plus we purchased the $179.00 Geek Squad coverage that included Apple Care. The Geek Squad transferred all of our data in the store from our old iMac to this one in a little over one day. We couldn’t be more pleased. The transfer has been nearly flawless and the glitches that we encountered when we got it home were quickly resolved using Apple Support. All of our email systems (my wife and I share this machine - I use iCloud, she uses AOL) including our address books and saved emails are all in tact. No photos or other important documents were lost and all of our previously used aps are in tact and working. We could not ask for a better purchase and transfer experience, plus this machine is running much faster than our previous one. This is our third iMac and I can’t imagine that the new systems with the M3 chip can be much better than this one for the price we paid. Our only regret was the absence of a USB Port, but overall we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Apple and Geek Squad of Best Buy Lawrence, KS.

    Data Backup or Transfer

    This is really great when your computer starts to go on the blink. Not quite dead but it looks like it is going to turn it's toes up at any moment. My eyesight is not very good anymore so I wasn't able to do this myself. It was so nice to be able to have them do it for me. I do genealogy and I had a lot of records stored on my laptop that I didn't want to lose. The Geek Squad people are always polite and knowledgeable and let us know if the problem requires they send it back to the factory.

    Best Buy Did Their Job

    There is nothing to say here, really. I went to Best Buy to transfer data from a hard-drive I had on an old, out-of-commission, computer to an external hard-drive I had also bought from Best Buy. The service was completed within only about a day or two with good results.

    Stress free data transfer!

    I was a nervous wreck when I started having issues with my computer!! I took it it to Geek Squad, and learned that it was time to buy a new tower. They were so knowledgeable and thorough! I couldn’t handle the stress of transferring all the data, so having them do it for me was worth every penny and then some! Thank you Geek Squad!
