Best way to get a new Mac

My new iMac has been great. It?s my first Apple Silicon machine, and everything has gone smoothly. Adorama offered the best price I could find, and had it drop-shipped quickly. No complaints!

So far so good!

Enjoying this iMac so far ? I?m stepping down from a 27? and the screen size adjustment wasn?t as tough as I thought it would be. It?s been fast enough for my needs so far (image culling & editing in PS & Lightroom), and while the 1TB hard drive is a bit of a limitation, I?ve found that working off an external drive has been working pretty well. 16GB of RAM with an M1 chip seems to be pretty fast; enough for me, at least. Pleased with the purchase.

Great computer, great company!

It was great to buy this product from Adorama because I would have had to wait a long time to get it locally. Adorama sent it quickly, in less than a week. I really like this computer except for the lack of connectivity since there are no USB ports and I have to use adapters for things like my external hard drives, printers, etc. So I had to purchase adapters. Otherwise, I would recommend both the computer and Adorama.

The base model does not come with an ethernet port

This is a great machine with one exception. If you buy a base model and you need ethernet make sure you upgrade the power supply. Otherwise, the computer does NOT come with an ethernet port.

New, But?.

I am very pleased with my new iMac 24, so far it has been nice experience. Not having the right click tools on my mouse is quite annoying, maybe it is something I will figure out later. I?ve had this Mac for one week now, can?t wait to see how it cooks in comparison to my old Mac.

Good

A replacement for my very aged iMac. Noticeably faster. However, be aware that this version uses Thunderbolt and usb3 ports. You will certainly need a usb C to A hub to use your earlier peripherals - your time machine drive, drawing tablet, printers etc.

My new iMac!

I 100% recommend this product. It had more than enough memory for electronic medical records and documentation for my practice. This iMac is stunning in appearance. As per usual with Apple devices, my iPad/iPhone/MacBook/AirPods/Apple Watch all work cohesively with this iMac. Communication between devices is fluid. Have had the system running non-stop for almost a month and haven?t had to charge the keyboard or mouse yet. Super fast function, setup that my 6 year old could have done. Just a terrific machine. I have zero complaints!

Excellent.

This replaced a 2015 iMac. Delivery was sooner than initially estimated. Set-up was a simple. The performance bump was immediately noticeable even though both old and new were running the same OS, apps etc. Even during online activity, rendering is quicker. We FaceTime regularly. The image and audio was raved about by the others in the session. This iMac is an easy recommendation, representing a superior product for the money.
