Frequently asked questions

A 'Renewed' 2021 Apple iMac indicates that it has been previously owned but has been returned to a like-new condition. It has been professionally inspected, tested, and cleaned by qualified suppliers to ensure it meets Apple's quality standards. Renewed products may come in generic packaging and possibly with generic accessories but offer a more affordable option to enjoy the features of a like-new product.

The 2021 Apple iMac with the M1 chip has integrated memory (RAM) and storage (SSD), meaning they're part of the system's motherboard and cannot be upgraded by the user after purchase. When buying, it's important to choose the configuration that will meet your needs long-term, as the 8-core CPU and 1TB SSD model provides a balance of performance and storage.

The Apple M1 chip in the 2021 iMac represents a significant leap in computing performance and efficiency. It integrates an 8-core CPU, offering a mix of high-performance and high-efficiency cores. This allows for faster processing, smoother multitasking, and energy efficiency. The M1 chip also includes unified memory architecture and an advanced Neural Engine for improved machine learning tasks, making the iMac powerful for both professional and personal use.

Yes, the 2021 iMac with the Apple M1 chip supports external displays. It can manage one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz through its Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. This allows users to extend their workspace and enjoy high-quality visuals on an additional monitor, making it suitable for professionals who require dual-monitor setups for their workflows.

Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The iMac reviews showcase a mixed user experience, highlighting satisfaction with the product's condition upon arrival for some, while others faced disappointment mainly due to missing original accessories like the Apple keyboard and mouse, and subpar third-party replacements. The quality of the iMac itself seems to be generally praised, especially when the product arrives in what is perceived as a new or like-new condition, saving buyers significant money. However, the lack of original Apple peripherals and packaging diminishes the overall unboxing and initial setup experience for some customers.

Pros

  • 🌟 Several users reported the iMac being in new or like-new condition
  • 💸 Significant savings compared to buying new from store
  • 🚀 Praise for the iMac’s performance and upgrade to the M1 chip

Cons

  • 🔌 Missing original Apple keyboard and mouse, replaced with inferior third-party peripherals
  • 📦 Some units shipped without original packaging, affecting the unboxing experience
  • 👎 Negative sentiment towards Apple’s software ecosystem and perceived decline in innovation

Should I Buy It?

If you value significant savings and are primarily concerned with the iMac's performance and condition rather than the initial unboxing experience or having original Apple peripherals, then yes. However, if the absence of genuine accessories and potential packaging issues would diminish your enjoyment or intended use of the product, you might want to reconsider or explore other purchasing options.


  • Exactly as I ordered and expected
Style: 7-Core GPU Size: 8GB - 256GB Color: Silver
Thanks to the description and other reviews, the item was exactly as described and expected. And I will add that though again as described, the condition of this refurbished item is truly 'like new'. I don't see any evident scratches, blemishes, etc ! In addition, the packaging for the item was amazing ! The computer was so well protected with all of the bubble wrap, and other safeguards. My only small complaint is that the wireless bluetooth mouse did not come with a USB receiver - so the mouse is useless. But other than that - a fantastic item for the price ! ... show more

  • Great machine
Style: 8-Core GPU Size: 8GB - 256GB Color: Blue
We ordered a few of these renewed M1 iMacs for the office. We do graphic design and video editing for clients, nothing fancy, so these machines are perfect. Even though this particular unit is renewed/refurbished, it looked shiny new out of the box. Very clean and no sign of use at all. But the AC adapter was dirty and looking aged. The iMac booted up perfectly and our IT guy upgraded them to the latest OS, everything runs totally smoothly and fast. Our external SSDs all connect and work flawlessly. ... show more

  • Keyboard NEVER work! Mouse was also faulty.
Style: 8-Core GPU Size: 8GB - 512GB Color: Pink
I was so excited to receive this product today, all that has faded. I've been trying to connect the mouse AND keyboard for an HOUR. It does not register it AT ALL. Neither of the ones I received are the magic mouse or keyboard.... I've tried with the USB also multiple times and neither work. Just ridiculous honestly. The instructions are also vague (directed towards the magic mouse & keyboard) and don't provide any important detailed information. ********* UPDATE ********** The keyboard never worked causing me to not be able to do anything with the computer - the mouse started working until hours later and because of this, I obviously wasn't able to do much of anything except TRY to find a way around this since the keyboard did not work. Obviously, I was not able to type anything to be able to sign in etc because of the faulty keyboard they sent not working. After hours, on my own accord, I was searching ways to either fix this or find a way around this. Neither of my other bluetooth keyboards would have worked because I needed to pair the devices 1st (which would require I actually be able to log in yet to PAIR them! But I still attempted it) . Thankfully, my technology skills aren't horrible so I was able to locate the accessibility options through the startup options screen. I was then able to pull up the VIRTUAL keyboard from THE computer and login that way. It was beyond frustrating to spend all that time doing this just because they sent a keyboard that does not work. The mouse was bad, disconnected often and thankfully I already had other mouses that do work so that was an easy fix once I was able to login with the computer's virtual keyboard to pair MY mouses to the computer. The computer itself works good. I will not be going through the hassle of replacing it because as to right now, it has worked (only reason I'm keeping it). But the ACTUAL point is, there's no reason to send faulty equipment. Other customers have received the right magic mouse AND keyboard so why is this not done for EVERY customer?????? Even then, I wouldn't have been upset if the crap mouse and keyboard they sent would have actually been CONNECTING and working properly (The keyboard is useless and doesn't work AT ALL with no device. It never worked with my iPad either, just useless.) ... show more

  • Good choice to save a buck
Style: 8-Core GPU Size: 8GB - 512GB Color: Blue
I will spare all the Apple stuff and focus on the refurbished parts and included/not included parts. This did not ship with an Apple keyboard or mouse like the original one would. For the refurbished price of this, this is a $100.00 + miss but you're still paying a premium for this refurbished. The unit itself. Perfect working order. Zero signs of wear or tear. This is a great unit for your day in and out online, emails and basic home use. It gives you years ahead of usage. My gripe is it's only 24 ". It didn't ship with an OEM keyboard and mouse but a cheap and I mean cheap keyboard and mouse. I guess credit for including something. I never used them, I just used my Logitech MX mouse and keyboard. I have used Amazon's refurbished program before and I am a fan. This unit as the M1 was barely slightly less expensive than still buying new even with limited supply left on the M1. Also, the new iMac has already gone on sale so hopefully refurbished prices will drop to make this a better value. ... show more

  • Works perfect, looks perfect.
Style: 8-Core GPU Size: 16GB - 1TB Color: Blue
The computer came boxed and wrapped in protective wrapping, it came with an apple mouse and apple keyboard. The computer booted up quickly and set up easily with no issues. If I hadn’t been the one who bought it I wouldn’t have known it was renewed.

  • First class product, like new from Apple
Style: 8-Core GPU Size: 8GB - 512GB Color: Pink
The product arrived in a short time and to my delight was packaged as if it came directly from Apple. It’s beautiful and I was up and running in minutes. Even the keyboard and mouse were brand new and it is lightning fast. Saves me so much time doing necessary tasks and has all the latest features. So far I am ecstatic with this purchase!

  • Good iMac, crappy keyboard and mouse.
Style: 8-Core GPU Size: 8GB - 512GB Color: Blue
It came in good condition thought I was skeptical at first due to the condition of the delivery box. The device didn’t come in its original factory box but it was wrapped very tightly in bubble wrap. FORTUNATELY there were no noticeable scratches or marks. We will see how the computer functions! (The only major down side is the keyboard and mouse they throw in) UPDATE: The generic mouse and keyboard have crapped out after a week of use and I had to dish out money for a new one. Kind of a pain and is disrupting my work flow. ... show more
