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.

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.

Beautiful display and perfect monitor size! Purchased mind for graphic design and marketing use. I also play a few games that run perfectly! I am in love with the design and capability of the device! Definitely an investment, but I know I will be using mine for many years to come.

My recent purchase of the 24" iMac with Retina 4.5k display and with Touch ID is exactly what I was looking for. It's not too big or too small, FAST, and tons of features, which are very easy to use.

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

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.

My First IMac And I Love It!

I absolutely love this new IMac! Definitely different than my HP AIO but I have now owned it for 18 months and I am still very pleased with everything about it. I have owned Apple products since the beginning of time but never purchased an iMac until this one and I sometimes miss my HP Windows Desktop but I will keep the IMac and continue to familiarize myself with it. No complaints and is still working great after 18 months with no issues whatsoever. It has also been great for gaming as well! I will definitely be upgrading to the new M2 version.

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.

I have never been a Mac person, but I happened to inherit an old iMac and fell in love with the sleek design and large beautiful screen. When it got too outdated to run old programs I decided to take the plunge and replace it with the newest version. It runs so smoothly and has that same beautiful large display screen. I love it!

This computer is amazing. Coming from using a laptop for the last 15 years for school work, the PC is so much better! Screen is large enough to have multiple tabs open for research and writing. Easy to set up. Easy to get used to. The keyboard and mouse it comes with work great and I see no reason to change either any time soon. Beyond satisfied. Wish I bought it sooner! 10/10
Also, I play Minecraft with my son on it and the graphics are amazing.

Being a Windows guy from the beginning, I decided to switch to Apple. Since I do most of my computing at a desk I chose the 24" iMac desktop. It takes a lot less space on my desk than the other desktops I have owned. Learning the iMac OS hasn't been too hard ( I bought a dummies book). I have an iPhone and after seeing how it links to the iMac, I have also purchased an iPad.

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).

Outstanding platform. I’m a photographer and I could not be happier with my IMAC. It runs all my editing software efficiently and the display is superb! It is as essential to my photography as my camera.

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.

This is my first iMac desktop. I have had numerous iPads and iPhones. I love the ease it was to use a desktop thats compatible with all my apple devices and Apple ID/account. It’s like a one stop shop. I can do more thing with my desktop than my iPad.
