Can you use an old iMac as a monitor for a newer Mac Mini? A client was throwing away an old 27" iMac. He gave it to me instead. I believe it's a mid 2011 model. His repair guy said the logic board is shot & it's trash but it looks brand new physically. The power light comes on, the screen... -

It is not an impossible task with 2012-2020 iMacs, but its sort of a one-and-done thing. You can really only remove and replace the adhesive... -

Don’t buy an iMac now???
I see on the Mac Rumors Buyers Guide that it says DON’T BUY under the iMac. Does that mean it’s not a good computer or that a new model is right around the corner??? I don’t want to buy a new one if that’s the case! Any ideas why they would label it as DON’T BUY?? -
