Q: what model is the 21.5 imac - intel core i5 (1.6ghz)-8GB memory - 1TB hard drive

This may help: Identify the model of your iMac - Apple Support

Or this website: http://www.everymac.com

late 2015 looks like. You can launch Apple System Profile to find out on the iMac.

Another alternative: download the free MacTracker application to your mac and click on "This Mac".

look in ASP for a model number example such as 12,1

it was the only 2015 model that was judged by a few reviews as the mac not worth its price tag because they pulled back on features that were widely used in other 2015 models to either cut down cost or get rid of a lot of outdated hw in the shop.

Thanks Barney, what I'm trying to do is find the model number on the apple site to compare it to the one Best Buy is selling to see if, in fact, they are the same ones.

 

Thanks

Apple used to have a site that had all of that, but I couldn't find it. Best bet is to use everymac.com to find original model number.

If Apple is no longer selling that spec iMac, then you won't find anything on their Sales website to compare to.
