Which iMac should I buy?
Choose the screen size first, then the newest year your budget allows, then memory and storage. Every iMac is an all-in-one: the computer is built into the display.

21.5-inch, 24-inch or 27-inch?
The 27-inch iMac gives you the most screen space for photo editing, spreadsheets and side-by-side windows. The 21.5-inch takes the least room on a desk. The 24-inch iMac uses Apple silicon rather than an Intel processor. The Compare tab lists the resolution and weight of each model where we have verified it.
iMac or Mac mini?
An iMac has the screen built in. The Mac mini is a compact desktop you connect to your own monitor, keyboard and mouse: pair it with one of our refurbished monitors.
What you get with every iMac
It has the latest compatible macOS installed. Before grading we factory reset it with all previous user data permanently removed, and test the screen, ports, memory and storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, microphone and speakers. Every grade has the same 12-month warranty.

Grades
Every device is tested and given a cosmetic grade: A, B or C. The grade describes how it looks; every grade works fully and has the same 12-month warranty. Each card above shows the grades in stock for that model.
- Grade A – minimal or no signs of use.
- Grade B – light cosmetic wear, visible only under close inspection.
- Grade C – visible cosmetic wear at the lowest price.

Is a refurbished iMac worth it?
For most people, yes. You get the same iMac for less than new, tested and graded by us, with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns.
What is the best refurbished iMac to buy?
The newest iMac your budget allows, in the screen size that suits your desk and work. The Compare tab shows every iMac in stock side by side, and the buying guide goes through them one by one.
Should I buy a used, second-hand or refurbished iMac?
A used or second-hand iMac is usually sold as it is. One refurbished by us has been tested, factory reset with all previous user data permanently removed, cleaned and graded, has the latest compatible macOS installed, and comes with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns.
How is it different from a new iMac?
It is the same model with the same chip and specification. The differences are the price, the cosmetic condition, which the grade describes, and the warranty: ours is 12 months on every grade. See our grades explained.
Are they reliable?
Every iMac we sell is tested before grading, and the 12-month warranty covers it if something goes wrong.
Do you sell the 27-inch iMac?
Yes. The 27-inch models in stock are listed above with their configurations and prices.
iMac or Mac mini: which should I choose?
Choose an iMac if you want an all-in-one with the screen built in. Choose a Mac mini if you already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse, or want to pick your own refurbished monitor.
Can I pay monthly or in instalments?
Yes. At checkout you can pay by card or spread the cost with Klarna, Clearpay or PayPal, subject to the provider’s approval. Each product page shows what the instalments would be for that price.
Do you deliver anywhere in the UK?
Delivery is free to mainland UK addresses. We can’t deliver to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly or PO boxes. You also get 30-day returns: see our returns policy.
