    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.

    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).

    iMac Purchase and Transfer

    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.

    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.

    Great desktop at a great Value. Got a great deal on an open box unit (excellent condition), it came with the original box and all the accessories. iMac came in like new condition, could not find a single flaw. The M1 chip still zips through all task you throw at it.

    24"iMAC Apple Newest Model 2021

    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.

    This desktop is nothing short of amazing. Apple never fails to design an absolutely beautiful machine. As a full time student working from home, I’m willing to invest in anything to make my life easier and motivate me to do my best. This truly does both. The webcam is beyond clear, and looks amazing for video calls. Apple connectivity from my iPhone, to iPad, and to my MacBook is seamless. Downloads are lightning fast. I just have nothing bad to say at all about this desktop. I hope it lasts me for years to come.

    The product is pretty good, just wish Best Buy would allow more customization. The Apple Store gives you the ability to add a track pad and additional ram. You can’t do it at Best Buy they only have a few different preconfigurations. The iMac is fast and quiet and recommend the product but if you want to customize it go to Apple.
