Why should you buy a used iMac on eBay?

The 24-inch iMac provides a low-cost alternative for casual computer users who dont want a lot of clutter in their computer areas. This all-in-one computer system incorporates both the monitor and the internal components such as the CPU and memory into the same casing. This cuts down on the need for a bulky tower that takes up space. The iMac also features a minimalistic design and few wires. Some used models may come with a keyboard and a mouse as well.

How do you choose the right 24-inch iMac?

The 24-inch iMacs are all fairly similar in terms of internal hardware parts, but they may differ somewhat in the exact specifications. All models feature Intel Core 2 Duo processors, which are distinguished from each other by their clock speed. The size of the hard drive and the internal RAM can differ quite a bit and ultimately come down to personal preference. Some models may have an AMD graphics card whereas others have an Nvidia graphics card. These cards are "dedicated," meaning that they contain their own separate pool of memory distinct from the main system RAM. An iSight camera, an optical SuperDrive, Gigabit Ethernet, wireless LAN, and Bluetooth are all included in various forms as well.

Which iMac models feature a 24-inch screen?

Apple released many different 24-inch models between 2006 and 2009, but in general, you can identify them in the following ways:

  • First-Generation iMacs: The 24-inch iMac was first introduced in late 2006 with the final first-generation model. It features a 1920x1200 resolution screen with wide viewing angles. The first-generation model is distinguished from other generations by a white polycarbonate casing that protects the computer from damage. It can run Mac OS X 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard" at the latest, or if you have at least 2GB of memory, Mac OS X 10.7.5 "Lion."
  • Second-Generation iMacs: Apple released multiple 24-inch models throughout the second generation between mid 2007 and early 2009. The second generation iMac can be identified by an aluminum, glass, and plastic casing. These models also have a 1920x1200 screen with a wide viewing angle. They can run all Apple operating systems up to OS X 10.11.6 "El Capitan."
