it's 2024, that makes no sense for an ordinary desktop to choose the mouse, keyboard, and monitor to you. I can choose those for myself, please deduct the cost of those from my computer.

Good way to get the student discount while supporting a local chain store.

Not really, the real difference between this and that M2 is that this has double the ram (16gb).

Quote from Camaro45th :
if I had $500 to spend, I would think of upgrading. Remember the time when you bought a new computer and it came with a mouse and keyboard? I guess those days are in the rear view mirror at this point.
It's called the iMac

Most Macs haven't come with keyboard/mouse for at least a couple decades.

I bought one as my first Mac ever and I feel ashamed because I use it as an Apple TV. But to my credit, I can block ads on Brave but not with TVos apps.

Yes, Amazon had it for the same price back in November. I ordered on 11/21 and it was delivered on 12/6 which was the first date of the available delivery window.

Unless someone uses apps that tax the M4 GPU, the M2 open box BestBuy $279~ is the better (cost vs performance) buy.
Yeah, good luck finding those in major cities and tech heavy areas. Or at all really.
