Buying a new iMac ... things you should know
I recently bought 2 new iMacs. Love them … but hare are a few things I wasn't told when I bought them that might save you extra trips back to the store.
1. The new Thunderbolt port is smaller than on the previous iMac so you'll need the adaptor sold separately
2. The wireless Magic Mouse and Trackpad do not both work together. You will need the wired mouse that comes with the iMac. I purchased the wireless Magic Mouse. Neither Apple Care nor the Genius Bar can get them to work together. I am now buying 2 wired Apple mouses/
3. A plug in microphone can not be used. There is no plug-in port. A USB mike is required.
4. There is no internal disk drive. The Apple USB drive can not be used with a powered USB Hub. With a limit of 4 USB ports, I am using a Hub … but not with the disk drive.
My best wishes to you with your new iMac.
