Apple's entry-level 24-inch iMac just hit a record low price

SAVE $100: As of Feb. 16, the green entry-level configuration of last year’s 24-inch Apple iMac (7-Core GPU, 256GB) is on sale at Amazon for $1,199 (original price: $1,299). That’s 8% off and its biggest discount to date.

Apple is rumored to be launching three new Macs in March, which makes now the perfect time for a steep sale on last year’s model.

As of Feb. 16, Amazon had the entry-level 24-inch iMac (in green) marked down to only $1,199. It usually retails for $1,299, so you’re saving exactly $100 — not too shabby.

This is actually the biggest discount we’ve ever seen on this particular desktop computer, which packs an 8‑core CPU, a 7‑core GPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of storage space. The only time it’s been this cheap before was in mid-January, when the pink version hit the same all-time low price. (It’s been sitting at $1,249 ever since.)

Tim Cook and company had better bring it with whatever Macs they have in the works: The 24-inch M1 model is a Mashable’s Choice Award winner that managed to nab a spot on our list of the best gadgets of 2021. Former tech reporter Brenda Stolyar called it “the ideal at-home iMac” in her review, pointing to its “super-thin, sleek, and lightweight form factor,” 1080p camera for video chats, bright 4.5K Retina display, and the convenient Touch ID feature built right into its matching Magic Keyboard. (Each unit comes with one of those and a Magic Mouse 2.)

“The 24-inch iMac is an excellent, compact machine that packs enough power to provide a super smooth experience,” Stolyar wrote. “Plus, the pop of color alone will automatically boost your mood on even the roughest of days.”
