Apple’s 24-inch desktop hits new record-low price

SAVE $149.01: Amazon has the silver, orange, pink, and green variants of last year’s 24-inch Apple iMac (256GB, 8-core GPU) on sale for only $1,349.99 as of Jan. 28. That’s about 10% off its $1,499 MSRP and its lowest price to date.

Amazon’s dropped a ton of great deals on Apple products this month following a report that 2022 will be a banner year for the tech giant, but this one might be its best yet.

As of Jan. 28, the silver, orange, pink, and green variants of last year’s mid-level iMac were on sale for just $1,349.99 thanks to some extra savings coupons that automatically trigger at checkout (see below for two examples). They usually retail for $1,499 apiece, which means this unprecedented deal is saving you a good $150 on a new desktop.

Not a fan of those colors? The blue and yellow versions were $50 off at the time of writing; the purple model was the only one that wasn’t on sale the last time we checked.

Introduced in the spring of 2021, these colorful computers feature Apple’s proprietary M1 chip, an 8-core GPU, an 8-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of built-in storage. (They’re a good step up from the entry-level model, which swaps in a less powerful 7-core GPU and a less effective cooling system with one fewer fan.) Its 24-inch 4.5K Retina display is the real star of the show, though: It’s got a P3 wide color gamut, 500 nits of brightness, three built-in studio-quality mics, and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera that’s perfect for video calls — all wrapped up in a super slim and lightweight design.

Impressed? So was our tech team: This machine wound up nabbing a Mashable’s Choice Award upon its release (peep the full review here) and later nabbed a spot on their best gadgets of 2021 list at the tail end of the year.
