Update: Now also live at Amazon for the same $1,199 all-time low pricing.
B&H today is offering one of the first discounts on Apple’s new 24-inch M3 iMac. The recent debut just hit the scene in November, and is now dropping down to $1,199 shipped for one of the first times. It normally sells for $1,299, and is now seeing a $100 discount. It’s matching the all-time low and arrives as one of the only offers so far. This is specifically matching the Black Friday mention from last month, too. I just took a hands-on look at what the deal with the new M3 iMac is, and explore that a bit further below the fold.
The story with Apple’s new 24-inch M3 iMac is all about the new internals. The updated silicon means that it can offer even better performance than before, which is even more notable considering we never got an M2 version of the form-factor. So the gains from the original M1 chip up to Apple’s new 3nm system are going to be even more apparent – which I’ve found to be the case from my hands-on usage so far.
But even with an upgrade chipset aside, you’re still looking at one of the most streamlined desktop machines on the market. The 24-inch 4.5K Retina display remains one of the best on the market, and the sleek all-in-one build is still as minimal as it gets.
If you were hoping to center your new workstation around something a bit more portable, than Apple’s new 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro is going to be a better buy. It has the same chipset as the iMac above, and now starts from $1,399. There’s $200 in savings to be had on a few different configurations depending on how much storage and memory you need, but each model is down to the all-time low as one of the first-ever discounts.
24-inch M3 iMac features:
With M3 architecture, the Apple 24-inch iMac is more powerful and capable than ever. The Apple M3 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Tackle your projects with the fast 8-Core CPU and take on graphics-intensive apps and games with the 8-Core GPU. Accelerate machine learning tasks with the 16-core Neural Engine. Combined with 8GB of Unified RAM and a 256GB SSD, you’ll be able to take full advantage of macOS as well as other Apple apps.
