Because new M1 Pro iMacs are coming shortly.

I want to see what the new Apple Silicon iMac (Pro?) brings to the table, but the chances of my WFH status becoming permanent means I probably will need to replace my 2017 iMac 5K with another Intel Mac and the $1600 model would work for me and is such a bargain now.

I wish they offered the same $300 off promotion on the i7 as that would be a no-brainer for me.

Would the 3.3ghz with 64ram be a better option than a 16gb M1 Mac? I’m still trying to debate which one I want to make my primary Mac machine.

Main reason to buy Intel now is because you either run macOS software that is compiled to run on x86 (so it would need to run under Rosetta 2 on M1) or you need to run the Intel version of Windows (via BootCamp or VM).

If by shortly you mean end of the year...

Thanks. I might just pull the plug on the 27. That is such a good deal.

I use parallels on M1 and its fantastic so far. Almost all my windows needed apps for work are functioning. No reason to go back in time Embrace M1

Considering Apple clearly isn't moving forward with Intel I don't personally see the point in buying the 27" iMac. Seems like a waste of an investment. It'd be like buying an LG phone right now when they officially announced they're exiting the market.

Well not $299, but Prime Day discount is $199 which is a first for the i7 model.
