Save $149 on the M3 iMac

Apple refreshed the 24-inch iMac with its latest M3 chip in October 2023. This was the first update to the machine since its transition to Apple silicon with the M1 SoC in April 2021.

The new chip brings a significant performance bump, with Apple claiming a 30% speed boost in Safari and Microsoft Excel. In Photoshop and Final Cut Pro, you will see a claimed “up to 2x faster” performance. And in games, thanks to the new GPU that supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, Apple claims “up to 50% faster frame rates.”

Compared to the M1 iMac, the M3 iMac supports the faster and newer Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 standards. Go through our M1 vs. M3 iMac comparison to learn about all the changes.

Faster machine, same price as previous iMac

Despite shipping with a faster M3 chip, the 24-inch iMac starts at the same $1,299 as its predecessor. This model features an 8-core CPU, 8-core, 256GB storage, and 8GB system memory.

Amazon’s deal makes the machine more affordable by slashing $149 off its price. The listing page only shows a $100 discount, with an additional $49 available through a coupon.

You can get the 256GB configuration with a more powerful 10-core GPU with a similar $149 discount. This drops its price from $1,499 to $1,349. The 512GB configuration of the machine is also available for $149 off, albeit in limited color options.

This is an all-time low price for the M3 iMac. So, if you have been holding off on buying one, this is the deal that you should jump on.
