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.
Whether you opt for the new iMac M4 model or go for the previous-gen model, we've got you covered on all the best deals. Get yours for less than you'd expect with the deals we've outlined below, as well as savings on the M3 model.
