Black Friday pricing arrives early for Apple’s 27-inch Retina 5K iMac, more

Best Buy offers the latest Apple 27-inch Retina 5K iMac 3.4GHz/8GB/1TB Fusion HDD for $1,599.99 shipped. That’s good for $199 off and the best price we can currently find. Amazon is offering $99 off, with today’s deal matching the lowest price we’ve tracked there. This is also the expected Black Friday price. Apple’s latest 27-inch iMac sports a gorgeous 5K Retina display, AMD graphics, multiple Thunderbolt 3 and USB-A ports along with Gigabit Ethernet. If you’re looking for a solid prosumer-grade content creation machine, Apple’s 5K iMac is sure to fit the bill.

Update: Amazon is currently offering Apple’s latest 21-inch Retina 4K iMac Core i3 3.6GHz/8GB/1TB for $1,099.99 shipped. Also at Best Buy. Normally selling for $1,299, today’s offer comes within $1 of the Amazon all-time low and is the second-best we’ve seen otherwise. If you’re looking for a more entry-level machine compared to the lead deal, there’s a lot to love about the 4K iMac. There’s enough power under the hood for handling a variety of tasks, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, and more.

Use today’s savings towards a Twelve South BackPack. This nifty accessory puts a shelf on the back of your iMac, enabling extra (out of sight) storage for a hard drive and other accessories. Plus, it matches your iMac’s design so if you do happen to see it, Twelve South’s BackPack generally blends in.
