The Apple iMac with M3 just dropped by $500 at Best Buy
SAVE $500: For a limited time, you can snag the sleek and powerful 24-inch Apple iMac (M3, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for just $1,299 at Best Buy — down from its usual $1,799 price tag.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your home tech setup, this might just be it. As of July 29, the 24-inch iMac, powered by the lightning-fast M3 chip — is now a whopping $500 off at Best Buy. One of the best-looking iMacs Apple has ever made is now at one of its best-ever prices.
Under the hood, this machine is more than just a pretty face. The M3 chip boasts an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, making it ideal for everything from streaming and multitasking to creative work in apps like Adobe Photoshop or Final Cut Pro. And with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, you’ve got both speed and space for all your digital life.
The 24-inch 4.5K Retina display is an offered showstopper too, with ultra-sharp with vibrant colour and 500 nits of brightness. Whether you’re binging shows, editing photos, or hopping on a Zoom call, everything should look (and sound) top-tier, thanks to the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, studio-quality mics, and six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio.
Of course, it plays well in the Apple ecosystem — copy text on your iPhone, paste it on your iMac; pick up FaceTime calls and send texts right from your desktop. It even comes with a colour-matched Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, so you're ready to go straight out of the box.
The bottom line is that this is a rare discount on a powerhouse machine that’s as good for productivity as it is for play.
