Woot has a great deal on 24-inch iMac refurbs.

You can grab an M1 iMac with 256GB of storage for just $899 (regularly $1,500; saving $600) or a 512GB model for $1,050 (regularly $1,700; saving $650).

Powered by Apple’s M1 chip, these iMacs are fast and capable machines. Both iMacs are available in a range of colors (blue, green, pink and yellow). These are factory-reconditioned models and come with a one-year warranty.

They are actually current models, despite being a couple of years old. Apple hasn’t updated the iMac line to newer processors. 

Recommended if you need a desktop machine that’s fast, thin, good-looking, and easily moved around.
