Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Apple M4 Max (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 64 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Apple M4 Max 40-core (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

So warranty. Such serial. Very service.
You have read elsewhere how incredibly capable this desktop is. We won't dwell on that. I will discuss the staggering ineptitude of BB's customer service team. I am a My Best Buy Total™ victim. By victim, I mean they take your money and fail to honor the terms of the contract. Among other promises, BB is obligated by the membership to provide AppleCare coverage for new Apple items they sell to members. Womp womp. My new machine shipped in a box stamped with the wrong serial number. By Apple's lights, the correct serial is the one engraved on the bottom of machine. They differed by one character. The serial on the box had an additional character at the beginning. I verified this with Apple before driving to BB. See, the upshot is that since the serial number is wrong in BB's system, I don't get the Apple Care coverage I have already paid for. "Wait, but..." you might say, "they could just correct the serial number in the DB, right?" Womp womp. I thought so too! But nope. Not today. Perhaps because I was assisted by the Forrest Gump of retail managers. Jonah, you're a great guy. You're just not the sharpest hammer in the bag. After a 30-mile drive, I walked out of BB with no AppleCare, a "sorry we can't help you" and "have a great day!" (???) Let's reset. BB will not cover the machine I just bought from them --with the warranty I have already paid for-- because they won't correct obvious errors in their own system. Hilarious, right? Here is my suggestion. Google this: Z1CD0017Z It is the identical machine. BB just uses a different part number so they can weasel out of price matching. You can buy one, with 3 years of AppleCare+, for a lower price than BB sells the bare machine for... the one that they won't get covered for you.
