So many helpful tips and easy to understand. Thank you so much. I was so disappointed to discover how low the storage capacity is out of the box but I now know how to pick add-ons to increase capacity at a reasonable cost. I am 86 years old and appreciate that you are able to review and deliver tips that even a non-tech like myself can understand and follow.
Yeah just make sure you get an external SSD when you're ready to expand storage.
I'm impressed you know what RUclips and internet is at your age, let alone using iMAC
Bro is 86 lmao
Age doesn't matter, I'm 972728229273636 years old and I have an lollipop in my hand.
@Chris too
This was incredibly useful. So much better than the usual unboxing and just reading out specs that most tech youtubers do.
Very well done. You spoke clearly and slowly unlike a few who just ramble on and on! Looking forward to my delivery!
Thanks for the tips Harris, a few of them were really helpful.
The content was quality, I was able to easily take the steps while you drove... the right click for the magic mouse was exactly what I was looking for...then you gave out a boatload of other gems I didn't even know I wanted now I have incorporated them all! well done...thank you!
Best review I’ve watched yet and I think I’ve seen em all. Thank you
I have an appointment at the Apple store this morning to see it up close. I'm 90% sure I'll get one. This computer was made for me. Great review.
Thank you! This was very useful. Just got my new 24” iMac yesterday. Hot corners and screen shot tips are so useful!
This is the most helpful iMac video I've seen. I wish I had found it earlier. Thanks for all the tips.
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours, and I’m subscribing. You are so helpful and easy to understand. What a perfect video!!! Awesome. Thank you so much. Xx
Was waiting for this! Thank you, Harris.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Just for anyone considering getting a "small" iMac 2021 with little storage, 256 or whatever and using a hard drive for extra storage: your data transfer will only ever be as slow as your hard drive. If you need the speed of the M1 chip, which is mind-blowing in my opinion, then better opt for the bigger storage.
I’m thinking about buying one for doing school work, I will be starting school on sept, but I’m planning on being in school for 4+ years plus I also have my own business which i will be doing most of the stuff from my iMac too. do you think I can buy the 256 or should I just pay the extra money for 500gb or even 1tb
I don’t know if the 256 is enough or should I get more
@@shiaw.3294 yes!
Clear instructions, helpful. Still need more detailed helps, hints and how to for 75+ ages. Thank you.
This is so helpful! Just got mine and I’m so excited to use these tips
Great Review! Where is the best place to buy a USB SSD and a Hub and how do I watch your video to see which is best?
Loved the video! Thanks for the tips Harris.
A ton of interesting stuff here. Nice. But does the short cable on that dock not drive you nuts? I'm looking for a dock that has about the same array of ports but a cable that reaches the desk! Any ideas? All I can find is the swanky Caldigit and OWC ones. They're super nice, but overkill for my needs.
This was a very useful and well-made video. I would like to know how to use OBS with the M1 iMac. Or, tell me if there is any other options that are hidden on apple with regard to screen sharing?
Received my blue one yesterday. Setting it up tomorrow!
Excellent video! Can I just ask what the length of the power cable is for the iMac, I know apple said 2 metres, but is that 2 metres to the power adapter or is it longer than that? Thanks
My blue one arrives Tuesday, so excited
It came , set up last night , love it
I just got this very one yesterday!! It’s awesome!
I find these videos very satisfying.
Super good vid! Thanks! Informative, unpretentious, original… very helpful to me !
Thanks I just bought one , really helpful
Great video, I’m glad I found your useful channel and I’m now a subscriber, I’m a windows user just trying out to learn my new iMac 24, even though I have an iPhone and iPad, your tutorial has really helped me.
Can you make a video how we can extend our storage with external ssd? I have the 256GB but have a ton of videos, pictures and music that will not fit unless I have them on external ssd. Can I access the ssd to see my pictures, videos and music just by clicking the shortcuts installed?
Hi i was wondering what is the best thing to do for the new Imac 24 turn it off in the evening or put it to sleep, to get best longevity and performance.
This was awesome, so many new things I didn’t know
Super great video! I’m awaiting the shipment of my iMac 1 512. Your video will be very helpful for me when it arrives. You are really great at explaining! Thank.
Thank you.
Should the Imac sleep or shut down?
Thanks for the tips. Easy, helpful and to the point. Great!
You’ve made my Saturday morning. Brilliant video. So clear and so helpful. Lots of little tips that I’ll really use. And exciting to see the new, elegant machine as well. Thank you very much indeed 😊
Can’t wait for my blue iMac (16Gb RAM 8/8 core) to arrive next month for my 71st birthday. My old one has done a decade worth of great service - I also remember buying the very first Mac with floppy discs (oh dear ! You had to work that hard - one disc in for system and application, eject, another disc in to save, eject 😂 and so it went one. ‘Good old days ‘ - no, no , no 😱)
Younger than you … but not young! As a granny, can def relate to your comment. Waiting on silver 16 GB 8/8). I recall our office admins typing our memos and using 12 inch floppies!!! Can also recall the old green and white stripe paper with the perforated holes on the side 👩🏾🦳
@@NomusaMagical
Brilliant. Me too !
iMac Blue arrived the other day. It’s a thing of beauty. The unboxing is probably the best ever - it’s like origami. That beautiful. I was so excited !
Enjoy !!!
@@mhouslay7281 Congrats! Blue is 🔥. Especially deep, rich, rear color. Don’t stay up 24 hrs playing with your new toy. I KNOW I will but .. July 15-22 is at least 44,743 minutes away 🤷🏽♀️
@@NomusaMagical 😂👍
I bought my first Mac in 1986. I wish I spent as much on Apple stock then as I spent on that computer. We use to call that disk swapping process toasting. My new blue iMac is due this week....!!
Is there something like sidecar available for the iMac to the MacBook Air? So using both screens?
Great video…Where did you get your USB Cto USB A connector?
Got my Blue iMac today
Very excited 😍
Quality video as always!
Thank you!
if i log into the apple id i use on my phone, will it mess with the storage? i have 5 gb on my phone and im looking to make some of the pictures on there my wallpaper. if i link it will it only give my imac 5gb rather than 246gb or will it just use some storage for my pics and videos ?
Awesome! Learned so many new stuff from your video. Thank you soooo much.
I never liked Apple mouse either, but this one works kind of like a trackpad. I like it.
Really useful. Thank you. I’m picking up my new M1 iMac tomorrow and will come back to your video. For existing iMac users I guess a question is : how easy is it to transfer files from an old Mac to the new one? I understand there’s something called Migration Assistant?
Migration assistant wouldn’t work for me so I just used I cloud and flash drive
Question, I have some older Microsoft Office software, is it compatible with the new iMac? In other words can I still use Microsoft office?
I’m getting this for my birthday and super excited!!!! ( colour : purple )
Me too👏🏼 Hope yours comes soon! Enjoy! 😀
@@vwood2 Thank you 😊 you too!
@darcia wow! So cool! Even I ordered the purple one!
SAME I just got mine
Silver one with upgraded SSD and numeric keyboard coming in 3 weeks, super excited ☺️ might have to get a MacBook again
Thankyou so much for all the info!
Just curious they come with charging cable right to charge the keyboard and mouse or touchpad right as usual ? The last iMac i bought I seem remember they got put one charging cable to charge your wireless keyboard / mouse but i choose touchpad. Actually my present iMac wireless touch pad sucks i used back the old iMac touch pad and keyboard which insert AA battery. I feel the old keyboard and touch pad with AA battery irony seem better than the latest one.
I just ordered this one! So excited to get it. My first iMac and also my first apple laptop since 2012 . My laptop from 2012 doesn’t work anymore and can’t update anymore so decided to upgrade
Same here I’m having to upgrade my 15 inch MacBook Air because its from 2011 so that makes it really old and obsolete. Surprisingly the computer still works, the Apple employees were surprised it was still working when I brought it in to attempt to fix the camera and mic.
@@jessicamena3320 yeah mine doesn’t update anymore the software. It comes up but when I update it freezes and stops so I have to press those buttons or just turn it off. I’m excited to get it. It says it’s coming the 29th of this month
I know the 27 inch IMacs you upgrade the RAM but can you upgrade the ram on iMac 24 (2021) as well? Maybe 16GB max
This was an amazing video, I was actually looking for something else and came across this. I learned a lot about my iMac after this video!!! Love it!! Any suggestions on second monitors for this computer and set up
I like the video very much. It's almost everything I need. Thanks !
thanks for the review! can i use it as second display for macbook pro?
Excellent video dude!
So I got an older Mac and the highest OS that I can download is 10.13.6, many apps say that I can’t install them because I need a higher OS. Does this mean there any app that’s been updated since mid 2018 I can’t install?
This video was very useful for me thank you.
Does this have to be plugged into the wall? I seen the big charger wondering if the iMac needs to be charged
This is so helpful. Amazing!
thank you for showing this hub.. I needed to know and u told us
Awesome video! Very helpful
love this video. great so helpful. thank you
Its very helpful, thanks to you.
Hi!!! Where did you get that desk from?? I have been looking for something like that since I purchased the Mac!
Thank you for your help!
What is the USB-C hub that you use as an add-on in this video?
How long does the mouse last battery wise? You can’t use it while it’s charging?
This was more helpful than I realize
Outstanding review.
Does the iMac M1 Siri allow you to set timers like on the iPad or iPhone?
Just off this video I gotta follow and subscribe to you ! Great job man !
What about a printer? I bought aCannon PIXMA TS 3100 which should be really easy to pair but the guide has me scratching my very old head! Any videos on this?
Thanks for the suggestions for the thunderbolt 3 I’m off to find one now
Thanks for the tips and tricks
Hi, is the video tips and trick also available in macbook pro?
very informative content! thanks!
I just bought mine, the same in the video, and I'm going LOCO. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
yeah I also got the blue one is really nice!
Wow....great video. Thinking of buying a used 24 inch on FB. Question. You mention you do much of your video editing from an external SSD. Do you upload all of your footage to the external SSD then edit it in final cut? Thanks a bunch
Great full for the tips question can you add a second screen to this AIO Mac?
can't wait for mine to arrive. ordered ie 3 weeks ago but it's not arriving till mid july :O they're so backordered for the 512 GB
Can you mirror the screen to a Mac Pro or air instead of the iPad?
do you know how to switch the keyboard and mouse too a different ones? like wireless ones if yes can you do a tutorial please thanks :)
Love this video! Just ordered a purple one! Can't wait! By the way, what arm is that for the yeti? I need to get one and that's awesome!
I so want an Imac. This is lit.
I need a hub with a SD port so I found one on Amazon from TWOPAN with 2 SD ports, 2 USB-3, 1 USB-2, and a lightening port. What is so neat about it is it attaches to the bottom of the monitor and uses 1 of my 4 ports on the back. Even neater it has faceplates in every color the iMac comes in so it looks like it was made for the iMac.
Good easy to follow review. I noticed you keep touching the screen. .Is this model touchscreen?
Great video. Thank you so much for your expertise. GOD bless.
Can I plug the USB-C to headphone jack into it and use that for speakers and headphones etc?.
Hey I would like to ask you how are you finding the heating on this imac? As this model only has one fan, can you tell us if you noticed any over heating or slowing down ? Thank you
I have that model and if I run a game like sims it gets a little hot and you can hear the fan.
@@elainapaigewilkerson9232 i have it too now, basically doing alot of work on it like website/graphic stuff, havent heard anything yet ! 🤞
Very helpful video! I really wish Sidecar feature worked with MacBooks!
Hi! I currently have an existing Dell external monitor to my iMac 2021 but I need to connect another one, is that possible? So basically I want a total of 3 monitors.
Thank you for this video 👍🏽👍🏿👍👍🏻
Awesome video thank you!!!😊
well explanation of the mac. thinking about switching from windows
Much appreciated. Thank you!
Wow great tips, I'm sure I'll be using some if not all of them :) Bought a hub too as the 4 usb c ports just wouldn't do it. Thanks for the great info!
nice video, very helpful
Excellent presentation. ty
7:15 Hello, do you have a link for this product? I'd like to buy one and would like to buy it through your affiliate scheme. Thank you.
Side car is bad ass! Thanks
Definatly helpful thankyou 😷🌍👍🇦🇺
Base model, 16GB RAM and Trackpad is the buy for me 🙌🏽
What about Touch ID for another fidee? 👀. I was thinking the same but it’s annoying how all these things add up. I think I’m looking at £300 over base price minimum 😐
@@RemofRenaissance Touch ID is nice to have, but how often do you use It? Is it worth and extra £200 to you, or can you input your password. To me no. I'd rather save a few hundred and put it towards 16GB RAM.
@@ASuwan22 I actually use it a lot. Mainly for paying for things I have 2 kids so plenty of things to pay for lol. If I decide to go without then it would be me thinking just pay for stuff on my phone / other devices. I’m still putting a business case together for getting any kind of iMac lol so will see what choice I make. With the pandemic it’s unlikely I will use my laptop in the same way and I have an iPad so could be I sell my 2017 MacBook Pro (15 inch) and get a desktop. Rarely has that machine left my house in any case!
My green one comes tomorrow, I've been waiting for over a month. I'm so excited and ready 😭😣
sameee i cant wait!!
Mine comes in a couple of days! I got silver!
Same, I my mom got the same color green and it’s coming August 4-11 I am so excited. Also after I get the new IMac I going to the water park. So double fun!
@@marcus6741 Got my silver 16/512GB. Love it. Congrats!! Some say “BORING” but I think light gray front w/silver back is super classy! Originally went for yellow but upon seeing in person .. fake 1980s gold on stand + keyboard, NOT a fan 🤷🏽♀️
Why did it take so long? I’m planning to order one from the U.S. and ship overseas. Worried it will tale an entire quarter to arrive!
Edit: Finally arrived! Loving it so far!
Can you also use an external harddrive on a usb C to usb A adapter?
You can put external ssd above power cable(put velcro tape on the inner side of stand), and it will be hidden, so It will not ruin aestetics that much... :D
