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!

Fast

I bought iMac 24" with Retina 4.5K Display, M1 Chip with 8-Core CPU in replacement for my 6 year old iMac 21.5". The new one is incredibly fast, - all I wanted. Love it.

1st new mac in almost 6 years

Love how it works been using macs since 2005 so it was easy to set up. Operates a little different than my power mac but the extra security makes it a winner!

Good Computer

It is fine, I should have spent a little more and gotten a bigger SSD.

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.

It came updated to Mac Os Monterey 12.2.1 (I did not want to have to update from Big Sur!) I had issues with an old 2011 iMac - glad to be up-to-date!

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.

Apple iMac

Apple iMac.

Say hello to the new iMac.Inspired by the best of Apple. Transformed by the M1 chip. Stands out in any space. Fits perfectly into your life.

See The Big Picture & All The Details.

See The Big Picture & All The Details.

See it all in sharp, glorious detail on the immersive 24‑inch 4.5K Retina display. The P3 wide color gamut brings what you’re watching to life in over a billion colors. Images shine with a brilliant 500 nits of brightness. Industry-leading anti‑reflective coating delivers greater comfort and readability. And True Tone technology automatically adjusts the color temperature of your display to the ambient light of your environment, for a more natural viewing experience. So whether you’re editing photos, working on presentations, or watching your favorite shows and movies, everything looks incredible on iMac.

1080P Facetime HD. Ready For Your Closeup?

1080P Facetime HD. Ready For Your Closeup?

It’s the best camera system ever in a Mac. Double the resolution for higher-quality video calls. A larger sensor that captures more light. And the advanced image signal processor (ISP) of M1 greatly improves image quality. So from collaborating with coworkers to catching up with friends and family, you’ll always look your best.

Neural Engine With M1.

Neural Engine With M1.

The ISP on M1 uses computational video to enhance image quality. To capture stunning video, it goes through a series of steps to analyze and enhance each pixel, at over a trillion operations per second. Advanced noise reduction algorithms bring a new level of clarity. Tone mapping delivers enhanced dynamic range, for more detail in bright highlights and dark shadows. And it works with the Neural Engine in M1 to make more intelligent exposure and white balance adjustments so you look just right in any light.

Studio-Quality Mics, For High Quality Conversations.

Studio Quality Mics For High Quality Conversations.

Whether you’re on a video call with a friend, cutting a track, or recording a podcast, the microphones on iMac make sure you come through loud, crisp, and clear. The studio-quality three-mic array is designed to reduce feedback, so conversations flow more naturally and you interrupt each other less. And beamforming technology helps the mics ignore background noise. Which means everyone hears you — not what’s going on around you.

Six Speaker Sound System, Audio That Fills The Room.

Six Speaker Sound System, Audio That Fills The Room.

The sound system on iMac brings incredible, room-filling audio to any space. Two pairs of force-cancelling woofers create rich, deep bass without unwanted vibrations. And each pair is balanced with a high-performance tweeter. The result is a massive, detailed soundstage that takes your movies, music, and more to the next level.

M1 & Big Sur. With Great Power Comes Great Capability.

M1 is the most powerful chip we’ve ever made. macOS Big Sur is the most advanced desktop operating system in the world. Combined, they take iMac to entirely new levels of performance, efficiency, and security. iMac wakes from sleep almost instantly, apps launch in a flash, and the whole system feels fluid, smooth, and snappy. With up to 85 percent faster CPU performance and up to two times faster graphics performance than standard 21.5‑inch iMac models, you can use apps like Xcode and Affinity Photo to compile code in a fraction of the time or edit photos in real time. And it runs cool and quiet even while tackling these intense workloads. That’s the power of hardware, software, and silicon — all designed together.
