So warranty. Such serial. Very service.

You have read elsewhere how incredibly capable this desktop is. We won't dwell on that. I will discuss the staggering ineptitude of BB's customer service team. I am a My Best Buy Total™ victim. By victim, I mean they take your money and fail to honor the terms of the contract. Among other promises, BB is obligated by the membership to provide AppleCare coverage for new Apple items they sell to members.
Womp womp.
My new machine shipped in a box stamped with the wrong serial number. By Apple's lights, the correct serial is the one engraved on the bottom of machine. They differed by one character. The serial on the box had an additional character at the beginning. I verified this with Apple before driving to BB. See, the upshot is that since the serial number is wrong in BB's system, I don't get the Apple Care coverage I have already paid for. "Wait, but..." you might say, "they could just correct the serial number in the DB, right?"
Womp womp. I thought so too!
But nope. Not today. Perhaps because I was assisted by the Forrest Gump of retail managers. Jonah, you're a great guy. You're just not the sharpest hammer in the bag. After a 30-mile drive, I walked out of BB with no AppleCare, a "sorry we can't help you" and "have a great day!" (???)
Let's reset. BB will not cover the machine I just bought from them --with the warranty I have already paid for-- because they won't correct obvious errors in their own system. Hilarious, right?
Here is my suggestion. Google this:
Z1CD0017Z
It is the identical machine. BB just uses a different part number so they can weasel out of price matching. You can buy one, with 3 years of AppleCare+, for a lower price than BB sells the bare machine for... the one that they won't get covered for you.

Joby HandyPod Clip is a compact and portable mini tripod for content creators on the go. The incorporated carabiner allows you to hook it on to your belt loop, your backpack or anywhere you like for quick carrying options. Don~t need the tripod legs? Use it with the legs closed and as handheld device to capture professional-looking videos that are sure to stand out. The head also has a 90~ tilt to go vertical or horizontal. The standard version also comes with a phone mount allowing you to attach your smartphone easily by pulling on the elastic cord. The action version comes with a pin joint mount to easily mount your action camera. Also, thanks to the universal ~~ screw thread, you can use HandyPod Clip with compact camera, microphone and other accessories.

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.

King of the $100 microphone realm

This is exactly what you would expect at the price point. The sound capture is better than a bare phone would be, but not nearly as good as heavy, more expensive audio gear. Mine has been used for school projects and Zoom calls. Performance was satisfactory. I wish the mobile app was more useful.

this phone is a lot of camera
on October 20, 2023

As the old saying goes, the best camera is the one you got with ya. And I am not carrying my $15k worth of studio gear with me on an evening walk. Googles computational photography engineers have FINALLY released a product that allows me to take acceptable photos with a mobile device. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Apple engineering too. I just get frustrated with a device that I have to beg and coax to show me the file system. Android does not suffer from this deficiency. My lone photo glitch was Photos kept crashing when I tried to edit a capture. The fix was easy, I cleared the Photos cache, deleted the app, and reinstalled it from the Play Store.
It may seem odd to pay $1k plus for a mobile device when the main event is a camera module with a hard cost of <$30, especially since it won't exactly replace a DSLR. Well, honestly, while the camera is excellent for a phone, it is not even close to Nikon quality. But the rest of the device performs pretty well. The screen is superb, better than any Pixel screen I have had before it. Apps all run smoothly and crash-free. The battery life is only a tad better than average, but the charging speed is excellent; best of any Pixel I have had. The infrared sensor is basically useless, but it is still fun to play with. I use it to see whether my studio mates have used their computers recently :-).
There is only one caveat here, and it is important. DO NOT trust the wifi calling function without testing it thoroughly. Not all routers are created equal, and mine is somewhat less than equal. My son waited half an hour for a ride home last night because his calls did not come through. This is a frustrating and potentially dangerous hiccup. I disabled wifi calling, and I suggest you do the same.

Many thx to bb for the trial. I am an Apple guy. I have now tried apple music, YouTube premium and Amazon music. The last is by far the worst. The interface sucks, the catalog has yawning gaps and the algorithmically generated playlists are comically bad. I would rather use YouTube premium at double the price than get Amazon music for free. Thanks for playing, Jeffy.

I HATE these headphones. I will give Sony this much, the sound is markedly better than my WH-1000XM2 headphones. HOWEVER, the battery life is laughable and the connection with both my computer and my phone is reliable for about 5 minutes at a time. The sound canceling is brilliant, but rendered useless by streaming stability that sucks more than SlingTV. I am embarrassed that I squandered the funds on this overpackaged piece of trash. I am now a freshly-minted Sennheiser customer. It’s a shame there is no zero-star option for these reviews. If you have already ordered these things, CANCEL. Sony gets two middle fingers up for this product.

Why is it that making a purchase at Best Buy is like sleeping with your first high school girlfriend? Every time you do it, they want to talk about it for daaaaaaaaays. It was good, Best Buy. Maybe we can do it again sometime.

Does this system have enough kick to have several Adobe programs running at the same time to cut audio and video..?
Absolutely, yes. It has that much power and then some. But you should buy it elsewhere. Google this

Different Apple part number, identical configuration. You can buy it with three years of Apple Care for less money than the bare machine sells for here. Happy shopping!

Introducing Mac Studio. A remarkably compact powerhouse that fits right on your desk with advanced connectivity for your studio setup. Choose the ferociously fast all-new M1 Ultra~the most powerful chip ever created for a computer.
How hard is it to hook 2 monitors to this? I'm sure some will consider this a dumb question, but it would be helpful to get some guidance on what to acquire in addition (apart from the obvious; 2 monitors). Thanks.
Not a dumb question, especially in light of the scant information on this site. The M1 Max model will support up to 4 6k monitors and a 4k TV.
