Buying a new iMac means picking from either the latest model or saving a little and going with a slightly older one. Apple's last-gen M3 iMac is still a great option if you can still find one in stock, especially if it comes at a compelling price. It has a stunning 24-inch Retina display, and that M3 chip is more than capable of running the latest apps and games. It earned a place on our list of the best overall desktop computers available over the past 12 months, and it's still a solid option. But there's also a new option. The M4 iMac is here, and it's even better than the previous M3 model. The new M4 chip is even faster, and Apple has (slightly) tweaked the colors that you can choose from, too. The new Macs support Apple Intelligence, of course, and will work with the latest macOS software for years to come. This is clearly the best iMac yet, but even so, you don't necessarily have to pay the full retail price to get one.

Best M4 iMac deals 

Here are the top deals for the iMac M4. We'll continue to update with new offers as they drop.

There aren't any direct discounts from Apple, but if you use your Apple Card*, you can score 3% off the retail price. And if you have an old device lying around, you can score some extra bucks off with a trade-in. Exact trade-in value depends on the device being traded, with highest values from M3 iMacs.

You can chose from seven different colors. You can also pick between 8-core and 10-core CPU and GPU, as well as different storage options.

Best M3 iMac deals 

Even though this is an older chip, it's still super speedy, and there are some great deals worth checking out. 

Amazon is offering discounts on some color configurations of the iMac M3. Some colors are as low as $1,233. At this price we'd suggest choosing the newer M4 model, though, and stocks and pricing are extremely limited.

Save $66

B&H normally offers around $200 off these models, but they are currently listed as being discontinued. That seems unlikely to change, but consider checking before ordering an M3 iMac elsewhere.

How we choose iMac deals at CNET

For iMac deals, highlighting any retailers offering direct discounts is our priority. However, these kinds of discounts can be pretty hard to come by, especially newer models like the iMac M4. There are sometimes creative ways to save with trade-in discounts, bundle deals, card savings and more, so we'll highlight those from reputable retailers when they arise.
