An iMac on your desk means one power cable, one keyboard, one mouse and a complete workstation. In Kampala, certified iMacs at MicroStar Andy range from budget-friendly 21.5-inch Intel models at UGX 1.8M to the modern 24-inch M1 at 6.5M, all with 21-point inspection and 3-month warranty.
Intel vs M1 – What Changes
The M1 iMac runs silently, uses less power and delivers performance that outpaces most Intel models at half the price. It is the better buy for new purchases. However, the 27-inch Intel models with higher RAM capacity still suit specific workflows like large Photoshop files or running multiple virtual machines. The key is matching the chip to your actual software requirements.
| Model | Typical Range (UGX) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 21.5″ Intel (2017-2019) | 1.8M – 3.2M | Reception desks, front-office tasks |
| 27″ Intel (2019-2020) | 3.5M – 6M | Design work, dual-app power users |
| 24″ M1 (2021) | 4M – 6.5M | Modern offices, silent operation |
Office Deployment Considerations
For offices buying three or more units, fleet pricing applies and we can configure identical setups across desks. The iMac’s all-in-one form factor reduces cabling, simplifies IT support and looks professional in client-facing areas. We also offer Apple education pricing for qualifying institutions.
What Our 21-Point Check Covers
Every certified iMac passes display uniformity testing (white and black screens), port-by-port verification, webcam and microphone check, speaker test, keyboard and mouse inspection, storage health verification and thermal assessment. The full report is available to you in writing before purchase.
Which iMac Size Fits Your Desk
The 21.5-inch iMac is compact enough for reception desks, point-of-sale stations and small offices where space is tight. The 24-inch M1 brings a modern redesign with a thinner profile and significantly faster performance. The 27-inch is the largest screen option, popular with designers who need the extra canvas area for layout work and dual-window productivity.

Kampala Buying Reality
Prices in Kampala move with shipment cycles, exchange rates and stock levels. The iMac you pay for this week can change next month, so the right approach is to set a budget, compare certified stock available today, and act when the market cooperates.
Kampala buyers often ask whether they should pay extra for peace of mind. At MicroStar Andy the answer is that peace of mind is included: inspection happens before purchase, not as a paid extra. That is why customers come back from Kampala and across the city, year after year, since 2004. When you choose certified stock, the warranty is written, the inspection is documented, and the people you deal with are the same ones who will service the machine later.
How the Process Works
Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we guide the rest. The first step is a free 21-point inspection that produces a written report. From that report you get a clear quote with no hidden charges. Approve the work and we complete it, test it, and hand it back with a 3-month warranty. The whole journey is visible and documented – that is how we have operated since 2004.
What Every Buyer Should Know
Two things matter most in Kampala: a documented inspection and a written warranty. A written warranty means the seller stands behind the machine. An inspection report means you know the true condition before you pay. Any seller who refuses both is a risk. We have offered both, in writing, since 2004.
