Best Buy currently offers the best price we’ve seen on Apple’s original 24-inch M1 iMac. Right now, the entry-level 256GB model with an 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU sells for $849.99 shipped. It’s down from its original $1,299 price tag and is now $449 off. This is right at the previous mention of a refurbished unit, but now it gets you a sealed unit with an original Apple warranty for that same cost. If you want to step up to the 8-core GPU model, that’ll run you $899.99, down from its original $1,499 going rate – also an all-time low at $599 off.
This might not be the latest version, but that just means Apple’s 24-inch iMac is an even better value. It packs an integrated M1 processor with its sleek design including a 4.5K Retina display with True Tone, as well as a 1080p FaceTime camera. Other notable features include 256GB or more of onboard storage, at least 8GB of RAM, and six speakers capable of supporting Spatial Audio. Get a closer look in our launch coverage.
By comparison, the new M3 iMac sports much of the same design as the older version. It has the same 24-inch 4.5K Retina display packed into the same compact and all-in-one form-factor. The only real difference is the improved performance of the M3 chip. But if you’re just looking for an affordable entry point into macOS and don’t need the absolute latest that Apple has to offer, the $850 starting prices above are going to be a whole lot better than the $1,299 going rates of its 3mn processor machines.
