iMac Purchase and Transfer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We received a wonderful deal on the purchase of this 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 apps 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 Best Buy Lawrence, KS.

High quality display makes it worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to replace our 2012 Mac Mini that was no longer receiving updates but otherwise worked well. This iMac is a speed demon for everyday tasks. TouchID is great for purchases and quick logins. The display is better than any regular one you can buy under $700. In the pic, you can see reflections that look purple, but when the display is on, we never get a glare. We also appreciate that the keyboard and mouse are rechargeable. We’re over 1 month in and still not in need of a recharge. Our old Magic Mouse would use 2 batteries every week if left on. We’re supplementing the onboard storage with a 2TB SSD drive to hold our photo libraries. This makes the relatively small 512GB that came with it workable for us. If you have big photo libraries, research how to move them to an external drive and save the money. Just make sure it’s a fast SSD.

Love this!! ❤️❤️❤️
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the green color and I LOVE how pretty it is ❤️ The cords are even green although with the keyboard and mouse! It was really easy to set-up (I do have multiple apple products), and was able to simply download the information that I had on my laptop over. The screen quality is fantastic and it's so much easier to work on the larger screen (my laptop was an 11" screen).

Best "Window" to anywhere I wish to explore.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turn it on & let your eyes & minds journey begin. I upgraded from my MacBook Air 13" that I continue to use, but only for travel, or on vacation. The newest technology at the time of purchase, makes this operate so smooth and fast. my wife & I are about to purchase a newer one for her as I am writing this review. I really like the "New Key" feature a whole lot.

Wonderful Product and Exceptional Service
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First I would like to commend Best Buy. The sales associates I spoke with were so nice! The guy in computers, helped me find and order what I wanted because it wasn’t available in store. Now for the computer…I expected it to be amazing because I was replacing a 2015 model. Let me tell you, it far exceeded my expectations! The color is beautiful. The images on screen are sharp and vivid. I was able to seamlessly move my information from my old Mac to my new one. Processing power is amazing! My only complaint is that the keyboard doesn’t have a tilt option. That was easily remedied with a coaster under the top of the keyboard.

24"iMAC Apple Newest Model 2021
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a 12-year old iMAC and needed to upgrade. I did my research and when I read the specs on the new 24" iMAC, decided this was the perfect time to upgrade my computer. I love it and am very satisfied with my decision. It is very similar to my older iMAC, but with more bells and whistles and very user friendly. I selected the 512 GB model for maximum storage and I have 4 ports on the back which is very convenient. Great speaker sound! Another plus is that the keyboard and mouse are quickly charged from the computer instead of using batteries. The only drawback is that the ports have been upgraded for the smaller new cables and I am not able to charge my older devices from my new Mac or plug in my external hard drive because they all use the older cables with larger plugs. Overall I am thrilled and Best Buy matched the price of a competitor, so I received an excellent price.
