    Q: Desktop Computers are stationary unlike a Laptop. Best Buy has decided to sell the new Apple M3 24 inch desktop without an ethernet connection. This means you will be forced to use a WiFi connection which is far less reliable compared to wired. WHY?

    A: All retailers sell both models. The base model does not include the ethernet capability, the touch ID capability on the keyboard, and it only has one fan. I would recommend getting the 10 core model as it has touch ID, two fans, and ethernet capability as well. The main reason they sell a Wi-Fi connection only is to keep costs to sell more units.

    Q: Can I use any printer with this computer ?

    A: You'll need to check if the printer model you have or are looking to buy, will be compatible for this computer. I found this out the hard way. I replaced my 10yr old iMac with this newer updated iMac (24" All in One -M3 chip-8GB Memory-250 GB) and couldn't get the iMac to recognize the printer. After much frustration and prior to having a geek squad tech come to my house, he informed me that the printer wasn't compatible with this iMac. The printer wasn't as old as my previous computer, but old enough as far as this new iMac was concerned. Needless to say, I had to buy a new printer.

    Q: Is the Apple - iMac 24" All-in-One awilable in silver color ?

    A: Yes available in at least 6 coulers from Apple

      Best desk top I’ve bought

      The Apple desktop computer, particularly the iMac, continues to set a high standard in design and performance. Its sleek, minimalist design is a visual delight, seamlessly integrating into any workspace. The Retina display offers stunning clarity, with vibrant colors and sharp detail, making it perfect for creative professionals and media consumption. The performance is robust, thanks to Apple's M1 chip, handling multitasking, graphics-intensive applications, and everyday tasks with ease. However, the premium price may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers. Overall, it's an excellent choice for those who value aesthetics, performance, and the Apple ecosystem.

      It’s perfect

      I love the look of it - super slim. It’s so simple to get set up. I even transferred everything from my laptop over to it so I wasn’t starting from scratch with all of my passwords saved. It runs so smooth and fast. The sound is great. I’m so happy with it.

      New to iMac

      On 11/8/23 I bought the new iMac 24" All-in-One with the M3 chip. This is my first iMac desktop and I love it. The screen size is great, speed is fast and set up was very easy. I had the Geek Squad transfer everything from my old pc to the iMac. My salesman, Hollywood, was very professional, patient and knowledgeable. He really listened to me. Thank you Best Buy for the wonderful experience!
