This is my first MAC and I got the entry level iMAC in blue. The screen and speaker quality on this machine are amazing. The iMAC has a headphone jack but headphones was not covered in the discussion on accessories. The internal speakers provided sound amazing, not sure additional external speakers are necessary especially if you already have a home pod mini. The accessory I bought for my iMAC is one of those USB hubs that have the 3 USB, micro SD, standard SD, and USB C ports built in. The hub clamps onto the base of the computer and can be colour matched to your machine. The one is have is by SATECHI.

Remember when you order the iMac you can order a color-matching trackpad that is only available now at time of order! Plus if you want an extended keypad keyboard also at time of order for an extra $30.

I know DVD, s and CD, s don’t get used much these days but I’m surprised you didn’t add an optical DVD drive. It was the first thing I bought for my IMac as I had lots of old camcorder footage on DVD, s I wanted to back up onto my Mac

PS @ MacSales (ie OWC) sell both Apple, OWC & Belkin USB-C cables at a discount (see their “Specials” category/section).
Since my wife & I have several MacBook Pro’s and Air’s from 2012 => 2019 having adapter cables is a given. For our Micro-B external drives it’s easier to have USB-C to Micro-B cable than using an adapter! OWC has an excellent USB-C to Micro-B USB 3.1 Cable - White ( wife hates black cables) for under $8. Cheaper than any dongle. Nice Father’s Day gift

Some advice you could get the imac with vesa mounting option.
Still you have to sacrifice the stand and would need a colour matching monitor arm.

MX Master 3 mouse is definite must buy. Thanks for the vid Jerry!

Jerry, great and informative video. I am getting a MI Imac with 500gm SSD internally . Was wondering, is it possible to use a thunderbolt external ssd drive to run the current operating system from? I don't see much about his and was wondering if you had any insight. Thanks

I use the 12 South Curve Riser for propping up the iMac (main display). Amazing. everything else you use is right on!

[jamesmetcalf]

Are you saying/recommending do not buy the new iMac with the 2Tb drive?, but instead get a third party SSD Drive? Curious to know your thoughts.

Thanks for letting me know about the hight before my iMac came, I am 6 feet so I know I would of been looking down and getting mad for only seeing the top of the screen eye level then the middle lol

[TheRealArjun]

I just bought my own M1 iMac - the thing I am trying to figure out is where can I get a cover for the keyboard? I cant find anything online. do you know of anything?
PS - thanks for the video its very well made.

I have the orange one too! This is my first Mac, switching from windows to mac has been quite the adjustment 😅thanks for the tips!

[thcentlimited]

Did I miss the recommended external dvd/cd player/burner?

[triciagm]

Hi Jerry. I've watched your videos on the new iMac M1. Brilliant thank you. I have just bought the iMac M1 base model, and now find I need adapters to connect both my old brother printer and a Apple usb superdrive to play any dvd's on. both of which have the normal size usb connectors not the lightening connectors As much as I would love the buy the Caldigit my budget just can't stretch that far. Can you please recommend a budget version or perhaps a single connector type that I can plug in when I need to use either of them. Thank you very much. 🙂

Hi, great video. The answer I am looking for, though, is about an external dvd drive that works with the M1 iMac. Can you recommend one?

[adinchandra]

New iMac isn't have ton of ports like previous generation iMac, and I have prediction if next time, maybe Traditional ports will be fully Replaced by USB C and if want more ports just use Dongle

[rajivningthouja]

Will that hub give power to the usb-A audio interface and midi controller

[MattHalpain]

I use an OWC hub with a HDMI port to an external Dell 1080p IPS monitor
