Update: iMac is sold out, but both iPad deals remain.

 

eBay is offering an Apple iPad 3 with Retina display, 64GB WiFI for just $499 with free shipping.  That is a total savings of $200 off the original retail price and $50 below what Apple charges for a refurbished unit.  Another option is picking up a brand new iPad 4th Gen. 16GB WiFi (Newest Model) with Retina display and Lightning connector for just $469, a total savings of $31 off the retail price of $500.  Available in black or white.

Update: Amazon has matched the Best Buy iMac offer. Grab it here for $1,150 plus potential tax savings for some at the time of purchase, potentially making it a more enticing purchase.

Today we have two great Apple deals that fit together well.  A beautiful iMac with a large 21.5″ screen for heavy duty computing and an iPad as a mobile solution.  Both items are brand new and include free shipping.

First up over at Best Buy is the super-skinny, current generation iMac 21.5″ with 1TB hard drive, 8GB RAM and a 2.7GHz processor for just $1,150 with free shipping.  This is $150 lower than all other retailers, matching the lowest price ever offered for this Mac.

Just a few weeks ago we saw an unprecedented sale from Best Buy on current generation iMacs and now Amazon has stepped up and surpassed that deal by offering a staggering $150 off 3 out 4 standard configuration iMacs.  These super skinny iMacs were released late last year and were in low supply for several months due to high demand.  Prices start at just $1,150 for a new 21″ iMac featuring a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive. Please see other pricing and configurations below. Act fast, Amazon could pull this deal at any time.

Apple’s 27-inch iMacs hit the refurb store but you can often get a new one for less

Refurb-iMac-27-inch

Apple today started offering a couple new models of its latest generation iMac through its refurbished online store. Previously Apple was offering refurbished units of the new 21.5-inch iMac only, but we hadn’t seen any 27-inch models hit yet, which we assumed was likely due to yield issues and significant delays experienced in the iMac’s first few months of launch. Today Apple has finally started offering both the entry level 27-inch iMac and the higher end iMac, in addition to a couple of BTO models. However, taking tax into account, you might be about to score a new one for around the same price… Read more
